Battlefield Acupuncture Does Not Provide Additional Improvement in Pain When Combined With Standard Physical Therapy After Shoulder Surgery: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

Introduction: Shoulder stabilization surgery is common among military personnel, causing severe acute postoperative pain that may contribute to the development of chronic pain, thereby reducing military readiness. Battlefield Acupuncture (BFA) has shown promise as a non-pharmaceutical intervention for acute postoperative pain. The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of BFA combined with standard physical therapy on pain, self-reported mood, self-reported improvement, and medication use in patients after shoulder stabilization surgery.

Molecular dynamics at immune synapse lipid rafts influence the cytolytic behavior of CAR T cells.

Chimeric antigen receptor T cells (CART) targeting CD19 through CD28.ζ signaling induce rapid lysis of leukemic blasts, contrasting with persistent tumor control exhibited by 4-1BB.ζ-CART.

Navigating Collaboration: Factors Influencing Special Education Teachers' Relationships with BCBAs in Diverse School Contexts.

This Multiperspectival Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (MIPA) delves into the nuanced experiences of 20 special education teachers across severe, mild to moderate, and early childhood backgrounds collaborating with Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) in school settings. While identifying facilitators and barriers to this collaboration, the study sheds light on factors that contribute to a breakdown in rapport between teachers and BCBAs. Notable challenges include perceived condescension, feelings of blame for intervention shortcomings, and receiving recommendations deemed non-feasible or impractical.

TOMM40 may mediate GFAP, neurofilament light Protein, pTau181, and brain morphometry in aging.

A growing amount of data has implicated the gene in the risk for Alzheimer's disease (AD), neurodegeneration, and accelerated aging. No studies have investigated the relationship of rs2075650 ('650 on the structural complexity of the brain or plasma markers of neurodegeneration. We used a comprehensive approach to quantify the impact of '650 on brain morphology and multiple cortical attributes in cognitively unimpaired (CU) individuals.
