Determining the outcome measures and clinical relevance of respiratory muscle training with multiple sclerosis patients: a systematic review.

The following systematic review aimed to gather information on the effectiveness of Respiratory Muscle Training (RMT) with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) patients. The method followed the ENTREQ and PRISMA protocol. MEDLINE, Cochrane, and Science Direct databases were used to source relevant literature.

Insidious pericardial journey of an orthodontic metallic retainer wire.

Ingestion of foreign bodies may be a frequent cause of painful dysphagia. We report the case of a metallic wire impacted in the oesophagus with potentially devastating consequences.

Reaction Mechanism of Oxytetracycline Degradation by Electrogenerated Reactive Chlorine: The Influence of Current Density and pH.

A binary dimensionally stable anode Ti/TiO-RuO electrode was used to abate the antibiotic oxytetracycline (OTC) (CHNO) in chloride water. The anode was prepared using the Pechini method and subsequently characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy-energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDS), and cyclic voltammetry (CV). The optimum values of the operational parameters affecting removal efficiency were determined using a 2 × 3 factorial design by screening (6.

Autochthonous dengue outbreak in Marche Region, Central Italy, August to October 2024.

Between August and 28 October 2024, 199 autochthonous cases of dengue virus serotype 2 were notified in the city of Fano, central Italy. We describe the ongoing epidemiological and microbiological investigation and public health measures implemented to contain the outbreak. The high transmissibility and the extension of the outbreak suggest that dengue should be expected in temperate regions during favourable seasons, highlighting the need for heightened awareness among healthcare providers and the public to ensure timely detection and response.

Generalized Lotka-Volterra Systems with Time Correlated Stochastic Interactions.

In this Letter, we explore the dynamics of species abundances within ecological communities using the generalized Lotka-Volterra (GLV) model. At variance with previous approaches, we present an analysis of GLV dynamics with temporal stochastic fluctuations in interaction strengths between species. We develop a dynamical mean field theory (DMFT) tailored for scenarios with colored noise interactions, which we term annealed disorder, and simple functional responses.
