Effectiveness of using a vibration device to ease pain during upper extremity injections: A randomized controlled trial.

Objectives: The current study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of using a vibration device to ease pain during upper extremity injections. Specifically, the study aims to compare the pain levels of patients who receive the injection with and without the use of vibration therapy. The results of this study may have implications for improving patient outcomes and satisfaction during routine injection procedures.

Awareness of down syndrome screening among educated Muslim women is associated with a favorable attitude toward testing.

Progesterone and estradiol alleviate Poly I:C-induced immune response in endometrial stromal cells.

Progesterone (P) and estradiol (E) regulate the immune status of the uterus. However, whether P and E can affect the immune response of endometrial cell is still unknown. In the study, primary endometrial stromal cells (EndSCs) were treated with Poly(I:C), the pathogen-associated molecular pattern of double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) virus, to induce immune response, and then EndSCs were stimulated with P or/and E.

Does tranexamic acid effectively minimise blood loss in cleft palate repair? A rigorous assessment through comprehensive systematic review and meta-analysis.

Cleft palate repair is a common reconstructive procedure that can involve significant blood loss. Tranexamic acid (TXA) has been proposed to minimise blood loss during various surgical procedures, but its effectiveness in cleft palate repair remains unclear. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to assess the effectiveness of TXA to reduce postoperative blood loss.
