Background: COVID-19-induced diabetes is a novel and enigmatic disease. Our aim was to evaluate a possible relationship between post-COVID-19 syndrome (PCS) and increased insulin resistance (IR) in non-diabetic outpatients after mild COVID-19.
Methods: Repeated measures design.
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to study the evolution of quality of life (QoL) in the first 5 years following Intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) for prostate cancer (PCa) and to determine possible associations with clinical/treatment data.
Material And Methods: Patients were enrolled in a prospective multicentre observational trial in 2010-2014 and treated with conventional (74-80 Gy, 1.8-2 Gy/fr) or moderately hypofractionated IMRT (65-75.
The new outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has infected and caused the death of millions of people worldwide. Intensive efforts are underway around the world to establish effective treatments. Immunoglobulin from immunized animals or plasma from convalescent patients might constitute a specific treatment to guarantee the neutralization of the virus in the early stages of infection, especially in patients with risk factors and a high probability of progressing to severe disease.

- The study investigates the impact of dietary supplementation with microalgae high in DHA on the reproductive health of pregnant mares, specifically looking at follicular dynamics and uterine recovery after foaling.
- Eighteen mares were divided into two groups: a control group and a group receiving DHA supplementation from 90 days prior to foaling until one week after their first ovulation.
- Results showed that the DHA-supplemented mares had smaller uterine horn diameters and better uterine conditions post-partum, suggesting potential benefits for early conception, but additional research on fertility is needed.
Objectives: The aim of our study was to evaluate the importance of sleep recordings and stimulus-related evoked potentials (EPs) in patients with prolonged disorders of consciousness (DOCs) by correlating neurophysiologic variables with clinical evaluation obtained using specific standardized scales.
Methods: There were 27 vegetative state (VS) and 5 minimally conscious state (MCS) patients who were evaluated from a clinical and neurophysiologic perspective. Clinical evaluation included the Coma Recovery Scale-Revised (CRS-R), Disability Rating Scale (DRS), and Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS).
