Pseudobulbar Affect Correlates with Mood Symptoms and Low Quality of Life in Patients with Parkinson's Disease: A Comprehensive Cross-Sectional Study.

Objectives: Despite being recognized for a long time as a characteristic of Parkinson's disease (PD), pseudobulbar affect (PBA) is still a symptom that is underdiagnosed and undertreated. This study aimed to assess the association between PBA and various mood disturbances, as well as the impact on quality of life in PD patients.

Methods: Sixty-eight patients with PD were enrolled in this study.

Identification of sexual myths of university students in health-related departments and affecting factors.

Aim: The research aimed to determine the attitudes of students studying in health-related departments toward sexual myths and the factors affecting them.

Methods: The study is descriptive research involving 287 students enrolled in health-related departments. The data were collected using a "Descriptive Information Form" and the "Sexual Myths Scale (SMS)" and analyzed using the SPSS 22.

Evaluation of Cognitive Functions in Patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome Undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: A Prospective Pilot Study.

Purpose: It is not clear whether cognitive functions are impaired in young patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). This study aims to detect whether or not there is cognitive impairment and cerebral changes in young patients with ACS undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

Patients And Methods: All 50 patients with ACS who were treated with primary PCI were eligible for this prospective study.

Uncovering the Power of GPR18 Signalling: How RvD2 and Other Ligands Could Have the Potential to Modulate and Resolve Inflammation in Various Health Disorders.

The resolution of inflammation is the primary domain of specialised pro-resolving mediators (SPMs), which include resolvins, protectins, and their forms synthesised under the influence of aspirin and the maresins. The role of these SPMs has been discussed by many authors in the literature, with particular reference to neuroinflammation and significant neurological disorders. This review discusses the role of G protein-coupled receptor 18 (GPR18), resolvin D2 (RvD2) activity, and the GPR18-RvD2 signalling axis, as well as the role of small molecule ligands of GPR18 in inflammation in various health disorders (brain injuries, neuropathic pain, neurodegenerative/cardiometabolic/cardiovascular/gastrointestinal diseases, peritonitis, periodontitis, asthma and lung inflammation, Duchenne muscular dystrophy, SARS-CoV-2-induced inflammation, and placenta disorders.

Re-irradiation of a Classic Kaposi's Sarcoma Using Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy.

A black male in his 60s diagnosed with classic Kaposi's sarcoma presented with multiple cutaneous nodules and edema of the right foot and lower leg. He was initially treated with alitretinoin 1% topical treatment. However, 16 months after treatment with the alitretinoin, the skin lesions progressed, and he subsequently underwent a course of radiation therapy to a total dose of 2000 centigrays (cGy) in five fractions to his right foot and lower extremities.
