In vivo shoulder kinematic changes and rotator cuff healing after surgical repair of large-to-massive rotator cuff tears.

Background: Few studies have investigated the correlation between shoulder kinematics and clinical outcomes in patients undergoing rotator cuff repair using dynamic analysis. This study assessed shoulder kinematics before and after surgical repair in patients with rotator cuff tears (RCTs) and determined the relationship among shoulder kinematics and between shoulder kinematics and clinical outcomes.

Methods: Ten patients with large-to-massive RCTs and 10 control participants were included.

Effectiveness of Watching a Kumagai Method Video for Long-Nipple Bottle-Feeding for Children with Cleft Lip and Palate: A Pilot Experimental Before-After Trial Study.

Aim: This study aimed to determine whether the Kumagai method could be followed by watching an instructional video and to compare the feeding actions of specialists and the general population.

Materials And Methods: Eleven adults from diverse backgrounds were recruited and asked to feed a baby doll using a bottle feeder with a long nipple, and their actions were recorded. Then, they watched a 2.

Nurses' Techniques for Bottle-Feeding of Infants with Feeding Difficulties: A Qualitative Descriptive Study.

This study identified bottle-feeding techniques for infants with feeding difficulties. Between December 2021 and April 2022, a survey was distributed to nurses with at least 5 years of experience in caring for infants at 1109 hospitals in Japan. The questionnaire included open-ended questions regarding preparation before bottle-feeding, methods of nipple insertion, methods of assisting with sucking, and criteria for continuing bottle-feeding.

The Kumagai Method: Feeding Techniques Using the Pigeon Baby Cleft Palate Bottle.

Background/objectives: This study aimed to identify the P-bottle feeding techniques systematically organized by Ms. Kumagai, an expert in nursing care for children with a cleft lip and/or palate (CLP), which were developed as she gained expertise in feeding affected children.

Methods: We recruited three nurses who had mastered the Kumagai method for feeding with a P-bottle.

Selective killing of castration-resistant prostate cancer cells by formycin A via the ATF4-CHOP axis.

Prostate cancer is initially androgen-dependent but often relapses to an androgen-independent state called castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). Currently approved therapies have limited efficacy against CRPC, highlighting the need for novel therapeutic strategies. To address this need, we conducted a drug screen in our previously established aggressive CRPC cell model.
