Immediate and localized effect of Kinesio tape on the hand grip strength of sedentary female adults.

The current study aimed to assess the immediate and localized effect of Kinesio Taping (KT) on hand grip strength. A cross-sectional study was conducted on 60 sedentary female university students (aged 18-23) divided into two groups of 30 subjects each. The experimental group received KT with 50% tension of the tape on the forearm and 100% tension on the hand, and the control group received a placebo application of KT (KT without tension on the hand and forearm).

A comparison of three thromboprophylaxis regimens in critically ill COVID-19 patients: An analysis of real-world data.

Introduction: Thrombotic complications of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) have received considerable attention. Although numerous conflicting findings have compared escalated thromboprophylaxis doses with a standard dose to prevent thrombosis, there is a paucity of literature comparing clinical outcomes in three different anticoagulation dosing regimens. Thus, we investigated the effectiveness and safety profiles of standard, intermediate, and high-anti-coagulation dosing strategies in COVID-19 critically ill patients.

INI-1-Deficient Sinonasal Carcinoma: Case Report with Emphasis on Differential Diagnosis.

SMARCB1-deficient sinonasal carcinoma is a newly described entity, with less than 100 reported cases. It is characterized by basaloid or rhabdoid morphology and is diagnosed by complete loss of nuclear SMARCB1 (INI-1). The morphologic appearance, specific immunophenotypic markers, and unique molecular make-up distinguish this entity from other various malignant neoplasms.

Oncocytic mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the parotid gland: case report.

Mucoepidermoid carcinoma is the most common malignant tumour of salivary glands. Oncocytic variant is rare and could be mistaken for benign entities like oncocytoma and Warthin tumour on cytology. We present a case of a 67-year-old female presented with left parotid gland mass, which was diagnosed as a benign oncocytoma on cytologic examination.
