Level of interest among Belgian consumers of the cultural, environmental, ethical, and global benefits of sustainable beekeeping management.

This study aimed to explore the consumers' level of interest in environmental, ethical, cultural, and global claims associated with sustainable beekeeping management and identify which factors influence perceptions of sustainable management and honey purchase. 1100 Belgian respondents were surveyed on their honey purchasing behavior and interest in the benefits of sustainable beekeeping management, complemented with socio-demographic questions. The data were evaluated using descriptive, non-parametric and multivariate statistics.

Evaluation of vascular photobiomodulation for orofacial pain and tension type headache following COVID 19 in a pragmatic randomized clinical trial.

This pragmatic double-blind randomized clinical trial aims to assess the impact of vascular photobiomodulation on post-COVID-19 patients experiencing tension-type headache, orofacial pain, or both persisting for more than 3 months. Participants were divided into two groups: vascular photobiomodulation (VPBM) and simulated VPBM. Their conditions were evaluated using the Brief Pain Inventory (BPI), Visual Analogue Scale, and Headache Impact Test (HIT-6).

3D-Printable Knee Arthrometer: Development and Validation.

Introduction The anterior cruciate ligament is the most commonly injured ligament in the knee. Its injury is often evaluated with orthopedic tests during physical examination, but this turns out to be a subjective assessment. A knee arthrometer is a mechanical device developed in the 1970s to improve the diagnostic accuracy of anterior cruciate ligament injury.

Epiglottic injury and airway management - a challenging and unexpected diagnosis.

Patients with facial trauma are complex; difficult airway management is often anticipated and challenging for the anaesthetist. Awake tracheal intubation is the gold standard in the management of predicted difficult airway because of its high success rate and safety profile. We present the case of a patient with facial trauma who underwent orotracheal intubation with combined videolaryngoscopy and flexible bronchoscopy, under conscious sedation with intermittent boluses of ketamine and dexmedetomidine.

New frontiers in retinal transplantation.

New frontiers about retinal cell transplantation for retinal degenerative diseases start from the idea that acting on stem cells can help regenerate retinal layers and establish new synapses among retinal cells. Deficiency or alterations of synaptic input and neurotrophic factors result in trans-neuronal degeneration of the inner retinal cells. Thus, the disruption of photoreceptors takes place.
