Background: Nonpharmacological methods such as white noise and therapeutic touch can be used in pain management in neonates.
Purpose: This randomized controlled study evaluated the effects of white noise and therapeutic touch during heel lance procedures on pain, comfort levels, and physiological parameters in healthy neonates.
Methods: This parallel, randomized controlled study was conducted in the Obstetrics and Gynecology Service of a regional hospital.
Article Synopsis
- - This study compares chronic immobilization stress (CIS) and cisplatin treatments as models for studying premature ovarian failure (POF) in rats, focusing on their effects on ovarian function and the potential benefits of a mitochondrial protective agent (AP39).
- - Sixty female rats were divided into six groups to assess different treatment combinations and evaluate factors like hormonal levels, estrous cycles, and ovarian health through various tests and observations.
- - The results showed that both CIS and cisplatin treatments led to significant declines in ovarian health markers, and AP39 did not fully return these parameters to normal, suggesting that the CIS model may better represent stress-induced ovarian dysfunction rather than typical POF.
Background: Chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) is a common and disabling disease. Assessments of IgE and C-reactive protein (CRP) are recommended in the diagnostic work-up, but the role and clinical relevance of these biomarkers are not well characterized. Moreover, it remains unknown if elevated levels of IgE or CRP are linked to CSU microRNA (miRNA) signatures or interleukin 31 (IL-31).
