Introduction: The Hypermobile Online Pain managemEnt (HOPE) programme is a stakeholder informed intervention adopting the biopsychosocial pain approach, specifically for people with hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (hEDS) and hypermobility spectrum disorder (HSD) experiencing pain. The programme topics included were based on a modified Delphi of a large sample of stakeholders: people with hEDS/HSD and healthcare practitioners who are experienced with managing these conditions. Programme feasibility, acceptability and appropriateness were previously evaluated quantitatively in a pilot randomised controlled trial, but the in-depth experiences and perceptions of participants who engaged with the programme is unknown.

Repetitive and prolonged experience of pain by infants in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) may adversely affect growth and alter pain responses. The degree of infant prematurity and/or presence of neurological impairment (NI) may impact an infant's ability to behaviorally respond to pain. This study aimed to determine whether the scores on the mPAT, a widely used pain assessment tool, is impacted by postmenstrual age (PMA) at assessment, irrespective of neurological impairment.

Spinal cord injury and stroke are neurological disorders that lead to aerobic deconditioning and increased likelihood of cardiovascular disease. Sessions of at least 20 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous intensity exercise is recommended but decreased mobility limits engagement in such exercise. The aim of the study was to assess whether individuals can achieve exercise recommendations with the assistance of an end-effector robot assisted gait trainer (E-RAGT).

Article Synopsis
  • - The study investigates how heavy metal stress affects chickpea growth and health, focusing on two varieties: a sensitive one (ILC 482) and a tolerant one (Azkan), particularly through analyzing microRNA responses.
  • - Heavy metal exposure (especially from cadmium, arsenic, and nickel) led to reduced growth and increased damage in both chickpea types, with ILC 482 showing greater sensitivity than Azkan.
  • - The research highlights significant interactions between plant genotype and heavy metal treatment, noting the importance of antioxidant enzyme activities and oxidative stress markers like hydrogen peroxide and malondialdehyde in assessing plant response to stress.

Β-Gals are a subgroup of the glycoside hydrolase (GH) family of enzymes, which possess the Glyco_hydro_35 (GH35) domain. Although studies have been conducted on the β-Gal gene family in numerous plant species, no such research has been conducted on beans. The purpose of this study was to determine the gene expression levels of β-Gal genes in the leaf tissue of P.

  • Chitosan (CTS) is a natural alternative for improving agricultural practices by preventing toxic metal uptake in plants, specifically addressing cadmium (Cd) stress in pepper plants.
  • The study found that Cd exposure reduced growth and chlorophyll levels while increasing stress indicators like proline and certain antioxidant enzymes.
  • Applying CTS reduced Cd absorption, lowered stress factors like hydrogen peroxide and abscisic acid, and enhanced growth and hormone levels in pepper plants, suggesting it can help mitigate the negative effects of Cd stress.

Purpose: Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (hEDS) and hypermobility spectrum disorder (HSD) are painful, chronic and multi-systemic conditions. No online pain management programs for hEDS/HSD currently exist. We aimed to develop one by exploring what people with hEDS/HSD want in such programs.

The development of power instruments has led to great advances in rhinoplasty. It has helped to reduce operating time, minimize damage to the surrounding soft tissues, and allow precision bony modification compared with the use of manual rasps. Burrs help ensure precise results by (i) creating a smooth transition between the lateral nasal sidewall and the face, (ii) treating bony asymmetries, and (iii) producing homogeneous upper and middle thirds that softy translate into the upper lateral cartilages.

Article Synopsis
  • A study aimed to evaluate changes in how physiotherapy students understand pain after a 14-week educational program and to assess the validity of the Concept of Pain Inventory for Adults (COPI-Adult).
  • Results indicated that students showed significant improvement in their understanding of pain, as evidenced by an increase in COPI-Adult scores from baseline to follow-up.
  • The COPI-Adult demonstrated a solid one-factor structure and was found to be reliable, with previous exposure to pain education linked to better initial scores, while factors like age and mental health were not significantly related.

Agricultural land contaminated with heavy metals such as non-biodegradable arsenic (As) has become a serious global problem as it adversely affects agricultural productivity, food security and human health. Therefore, in this study, we investigated how the administration of N-acetyl-cysteine (NAC), regulates the physio-biochemical and gene expression level to reduce As toxicity in lettuce. According to our results, different NAC levels (125, 250 and 500 μM) significantly alleviated the growth inhibition and toxicity induced by As stress (20 mg/L).

  • Low temperature stress is a significant issue for winter wheat growth, necessitating the development of cold-tolerant cultivars, which has become a key focus in breeding efforts worldwide.
  • A study identified quantitative trait loci (QTL) associated with freezing tolerance in winter wheat using 425 SSR molecular markers, finding 34 polymorphic markers linked to these traits among 180 inbred lines.
  • Key QTLs connected to wheat yield and cold tolerance were discovered on chromosomes 4A, 2B, and 3B, with notable findings including major-effect QTLs that could aid in selecting frost-resistant wheat lines for breeding programs.

Background: The Pirani scale is used for the assessment of Ponseti-managed clubfoot. Predicting outcomes using the total Pirani scale score has varied results, however, the prognostic value of midfoot and hindfoot components remains unknown. The purpose was to (1) determine the existence of subgroups of Ponseti-managed idiopathic clubfoot based on the trajectory of change in midfoot and hindfoot Pirani scale scores, (2) identify time points, at which subgroups can be distinguished, and (3) determine whether subgroups are associated with the number of casts required for correction and need for Achilles tenotomy.

Experiencing great worldwide scientific excitement, the number of nose preservation surgeries has increased rapidly, promoting a considerable percentage of drawbacks and complications, causing many surgeons to recoil and return to classic resective techniques. In this study, we develop concepts that allow us to operate noses with preservation rhinoplasty that were previously considered to be among the absolute contraindications. Redefining new dorsal aesthetic lines, controlling the nasal lateral wall and the naso-facial groove surfaces, avoiding mid-vault widening and being precise in the design of bony and cartilaginous nasal profile, avoiding any type of irregularity, are strategies that will be presented.
