Imbalance of Peripheral Temperature, Sympathovagal, and Cytokine Profile in Long COVID.

A persistent state of inflammation has been reported during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study aimed to assess short-term heart rate variability (HRV), peripheral body temperature, and serum cytokine levels in patients with long COVID. We evaluated 202 patients with long COVID symptoms categorized them according to the duration of their COVID symptoms (≤120 days, n = 81; >120 days, n = 121), in addition to 95 healthy individuals selected as controls.

Vitamin D3 supplementation may attenuate morphological and molecular abnormalities of the olfactory bulb in a mouse model of Down syndrome.

Individuals with Down syndrome (DS) exhibit impaired olfactory function and are at a higher risk of developing Alzheimer's disease (AD). Olfactory dysfunction may be an early clinical symptom of AD. Recent studies have demonstrated that vitamin D3 (VD3) exerts neuroprotective effects in mouse models of AD.

Electrical Stimulation of PC 6 to Control Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting in Patients with Cancer: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

A complementary treatment for managing chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) with promising results is electrostimulation of Pericardium 6 (PC 6; ). This review was conducted to evaluate the effects of electrostimulation therapy at PC 6 to control CINV in patients with cancer. The review was registered on PROSPERO (CRD42018087753).
