Article Synopsis
- * A systematic review of 335 cases revealed that Mycobacterium abscessus was the most frequently identified pathogen, with many patients receiving treatment using multiple antibiotics.
- * Early diagnosis using acid-fast bacilli staining and culture is crucial, and catheter removal may be necessary for effective management of these NTM infections.
Article Synopsis
- Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a common autoimmune disease affecting joints, and this study explores the anti-inflammatory effects of piperine (PIP), an alkaloid from black pepper, using albumin nanoparticles as a treatment method.
- The researchers tested PIP and PIP-loaded Bovine Serum Albumin nanoparticles (PIP-BSA NPs) on adjuvant-induced arthritis (AIA) rats, measuring clinical scores, joint inflammation, and levels of inflammatory cytokines.
- Results showed that both treatments effectively reduced inflammation and clinical symptoms, with PIP outperforming PIP-BSA NPs in some aspects, suggesting that future studies could explore their combined use for better results in RA treatment.
This study aimed to compare postural assessment and postural awareness using the artificial intelligence posture evaluation and correction system (APECS) in individuals receiving posture training. Participants' physical characteristics were recorded. The participants' posture was evaluated with APECS and the New York posture rating chart test (NYPR), and their body and postural awareness was evaluated with the body awareness questionnaire (BAQ), postural awareness form (PAF) and postural habits and awareness scale (PHAS).

- * Genetic analysis showed that individuals linked to mpox clusters had a higher likelihood of previously being diagnosed with HIV, indicating overlapping sexual networks for both viruses.
- * The study found that highly connected individuals were more likely to get infected early in the outbreak, leading to a rapid rise and fall of cases, and emphasized that mpox transmission shares dynamics with other sexually transmitted infections.
Article Synopsis
- * Interviews with 11 experts identified eight categories of barriers, leading to a questionnaire that surveyed 112 medical professionals involved in ESKD care, with a response rate of 47.3%.
- * The analysis revealed five main barriers to CKM, with "lack of palliative care experience" and "lack of support system" being the most significant, while most respondents viewed CKM as a viable treatment option for ESKD.
