Impact of synbiotics on disease activity in systemic lupus erythematosus: Results from a randomized clinical trial.

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease that affects various organs in the body. In SLE, inflammatory cytokines play a crucial role in initiating and sustaining the inflammatory process. Synbiotics may help modulate these inflammatory cytokines.

"The protective effect of nano curcumin supplementation on doxorubicin induced cardiotoxicity in breast cancer patients; a randomized, double-blind clinical trial".

Background: Anthracycline drugs play a fundamental role in breast cancer treatment; however, the cardiotoxicity side effects obscure the advantages of treatment. Curcumin has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects.

Materials And Methods: In this study, we investigated the effect of nanocurcumin supplementation on Doxorubicin induced Cardiotoxicity.

Scaphoid Bone Nonunions: Clinical and Functional Outcomes of Collagen/PGA Scaffolds and Cell-Based Therapy.

In this study, the procedure for treating the nonunion complication of scaphoid fractures using collagen/poly glycolic acid (CPGA) scaffolds with bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell (BM-MSC) therapy was adopted and compared with the commonly employed autologous bone tissue graft. With conducting a two-armed clinical trial, 10 patients with scaphoid nonunions were enrolled in this investigation. Patients were randomly assigned to two groups treated with (1) CPGA + cell therapy and (2) autologous iliac crest bone graft standard therapy.

Relationship Between Pulmonary Hypertension Before Kidney Transplantation and Early Graft Dysfunction.

Introduction: Pulmonary hypertension (PHTN) is a common complication in patients with chronic kidney disease. Delayed Graft Function (DGF), on the other hand; is an essential complication after kidney transplantation. These two complications increase morbidity and mortality in patients.

Zinc deficiency and febrile seizure: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background And Objectives: Zinc has been reported to be low in children with febrile seizure compared to febrile cases without seizures, but results are inconsistent. A meta-analysis was performed to systematically evaluate the serum level of zinc in febrile children aged between 6-72 months with or without seizures.

Material And Methods: A systematic search of databases was performed from January 2000 to January 2019.
