Bio-valorization of Tagetes floral waste extract in fabrication of self-healing Schiff-base nanocomposite hydrogels for colon cancer remedy.

The drastic boom in floriculture and social events in religious and recreational places has inevitably led to generation of tremendous floral waste across the globe. Marigold (Tagetes erecta) is one of the most common loose flowers offered for the same. Generally discarded, these Tagetes floral wastes could be valorized for biogenic syntheses.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus, physical activity, and neuromusculoskeletal complications.

Objectives: The objectives of the study were to investigate the neuromusculoskeletal complications of Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and their associated factors, including the level of physical activity (PA) and clinicodemographic characteristics.

Materials And Methods: In this cross-sectional analysis, we included 370 participants diagnosed with T2DM for no <1 year who satisfied the inclusion and exclusion criteria.

Platelet-rich Plasma in the Treatment of Recurrent Flexor Tenosynovitis of Wrist Complicated with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome in a Patient with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: A Case Report.

Introduction: Hand disorders are common manifestations in persons with diabetes mellitus. Flexor tenosynovitis (FTS) of the wrist is a relatively less common occurrence when compared with FTS of the finger. In the presence of uncontrolled diabetes, recurrence is not uncommon, and management may become difficult.

Platelet-rich plasma injection in the treatment of patellar tendinopathy: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Purpose: The objective of the study was to assess the efficacy of autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections in the treatment of patellar tendinopathy.

Methods: The PubMed, MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials databases were searched for clinical trials which compared PRP injection with other 'active treatment' interventions ('Non-PRP' injection and 'No-injection' treatments) or 'No-active treatment' interventions. Randomized and non-randomized clinical trials that had been published up to 15 November 2021, were included in the meta-analysis.

A Case of Chronic Deep Infrapatellar Bursitis Complicated by Patellar Tendinopathy and its Evaluation With Musculoskeletal Ultrasound.

Knee pain is a very common complaint in routine physiatry and orthopedic practice. While bursitis is a well-known and common cause of knee pain, deep infrapatellar bursa (DIPB) involvement is relatively less common. Inflammation of DIPB occurs commonly due to either direct trauma or overuse, but other rare causes have also been reported in the literature including infection, juvenile idiopathic arthritis, gout, and juvenile ankylosing spondylitis.

Neuropathic Pain in Hospitalized Patients With COVID-19: A Prospective Case Series.

Objective: To report the demographic and clinical characteristics of 8 patients hospitalized with COVID-19 and presenting with neuropathic pain (NeuP).

Design: A prospective case series with 1-month follow-up.

Settings: COVID-19-dedicated wards of a tertiary care center.

Respiratory rehabilitation in patients recovering from severe acute respiratory syndrome: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: With an increase in published reports on respiratory rehabilitation (RR) in severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), there is a need for a meta-analysis and systematic review to measure the effects of the RR in SARS.

Objective: Objective of the review was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of RR in patients recovering from SARS.

Methods: PubMed/ MEDLINE, CENTRAL, EMBASE, and Clinical Trial Registries were systematically searched (between January 1, 2003, to July 31, 2021) to identify all patients who received RR, at least for six days, following SARS.

Musculoskeletal and Neurological Pain Symptoms Among Hospitalized COVID-19 Patients.

Objective: As the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic continues to grow, its clinical manifestations are still emerging and are being widely investigated. However, the pain symptoms, including neurological and musculoskeletal pain symptoms, are still poorly understood.

Design: In this cross-sectional study, we investigated the prevalence of musculoskeletal and neurological pain symptoms among hospitalized coronavirus disease 2019 patients.

Injection Botulinum Toxin A in Treatment of Resistant Chronic Low Back Pain: A Prospective Open-Label Study.

Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of botulinum toxin A (BTX-A) injection on patients with chronic low back pain (CLBP). Design In this open-label prospective study, patients with CLBP who satisfied inclusion and exclusion criteria received 100 units of BTX-A injection. Patients were followed up at four weeks, three months, and six months after injection.
