- The study aims to estimate the prevalence of Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) and its risk factors in Nepal, highlighting it as a significant health issue.
- A survey with 12,557 participants aged 20 and older revealed a prevalence of 0.5% for definite CAD, 2.1% for possible CAD, and 0.3% for probable CAD, with higher rates in certain demographics.
- The findings indicate a notable burden of CAD in Nepal, emphasizing the need for targeted interventions at both individual and population levels to address the disease and its risk factors.
Background: Patients with scoliosis often require multiple imaging modalities. The aim of this study was to find out whether primary diagnosis, including surgical planning, could be carried out entirely without computed tomography (CT) scans and whether follow-up could be replaced with alternative methods without the use of X-rays. In order to reduce the radiation exposure in the diagnosis and treatment of severe scoliosis, we expect to replace X-rays with radiation-free or less-intensive radiation examinations.

- The FDA's decision to remove mandatory animal testing for drug approval signifies a move towards alternative research methods, with growing support from the European Parliament for animal-free practices.
- In vitro tissue models are being embraced for regulatory assessments in line with the 3R principles, but barriers like standardization, availability, and cost still limit their use.
- The Robotic Enabled Biological Automation (ReBiA) system is designed to automate laboratory processes, improving consistency and cost-effectiveness of in vitro models, as demonstrated by successful production of human tissue models that closely resemble native tissues.
Article Synopsis
- - This study explored how brace therapy alongside Schroth therapy affects plantar pressure distribution in adolescents with moderate idiopathic scoliosis during a four-week inpatient rehabilitation.
- - Twenty patients, aged 12-16, had their plantar pressure measured before and after the treatment, revealing significant changes mostly on the right side after therapy.
- - The results suggest that the combined therapy helps maintain symmetry in plantar pressure distribution, indicating its effectiveness in rehabilitation for scoliosis patients.
