Assessment of shock index in healthy cats and in cats presenting to an emergency room with shock.

Objective: To prospectively compare the shock index (SI) in a population of healthy cats with a population of cats presenting to the emergency room (ER) deemed to be in a state of shock.

Design: Prospective cohort study of cats.

Setting: University teaching hospital.

External low energy electromagnetic fields affect heart dynamics: surrogate for system synchronization, chaos control and cancer patient's health.

All cells in the human body, including cancer cells, possess specific electrical properties crucial for their functions. These properties are notably different between normal and cancerous cells. Cancer cells are characterized by autonomous oscillations and damped electromagnetic field (EMF) activation.

Longitudinal assessment of white matter alterations in progressive supranuclear palsy variants using diffusion tractography.

Introduction: White matter (WM) tract degeneration is a characteristic feature of progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), with longitudinal changes observed in PSP-Richardson's syndrome (PSP-RS). Little, however, is known about the other PSP variants. We assessed cross-sectional and longitudinal WM degeneration across PSP variants using diffusion tractography.

Effects of photobiomodulation and bethanechol chloride treatment on salivary composition and flow rate in head and neck cancer patients undergoing radiotherapy: longitudinal interventional experimental clinical study.

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) and bethanechol chloride (BC) on the quantity and quality of saliva in patients undergoing radiotherapy (RT) for head and neck cancer.

Methods: Saliva samples were collected from patients before and after RT, who were treated with PBMT or BC. Clinical parameters, including salivary flow rate (SFR), pH, xerostomia, and concentrations of macro and microelements in saliva, were assessed.

Surgical-related Morphological Characteristics of Sphenoid Sinuses: A Comprehensive CT-Based Analysis.

Background: This study aims to assess the relationships between sphenoid sinus (SS) types, septation, lobulation, symmetry, septal deviation, and the variations in SS pneumatization regarding the surrounding neurovascular structures using Computed tomography (CT) images. Sexes and age groups were investigated.

Material And Methods: We retrospectively evaluated head CT-scans of 320 patients (age range 18-49 years); mean of 43.
