Background/aim: It is still unclear what types of exercise, beneficial to prevent and/or decrease diastasis recti abdominis (DRA). This study purposed to examine immediate effects of corrective exercise versus curl-up exercise on interrecti distance (IRD) and linea alba (LA) distortion in women with DRA.
Materials And Methods: Twenty-three women with DRA were included.
To study the spatial interactions among cancer and non-cancer cells, we here examined a cohort of 131 tumour sections from 78 cases across 6 cancer types by Visium spatial transcriptomics (ST). This was combined with 48 matched single-nucleus RNA sequencing samples and 22 matched co-detection by indexing (CODEX) samples. To describe tumour structures and habitats, we defined 'tumour microregions' as spatially distinct cancer cell clusters separated by stromal components.

- Analyzing somatic evolution in tumors over time and space is crucial for cancer research, and CalicoST is introduced as a new algorithm that enhances understanding by inferring copy number aberrations (CNAs) from spatially resolved transcriptomics (SRT) data.
- CalicoST identifies types of CNAs, such as copy-neutral loss of heterozygosity and mirrored subclonal CNAs, which are often overlooked in traditional total copy number analysis, achieving an impressive average accuracy of 86% using data from nine patients.
- This algorithm successfully reconstructs the phylogeography of tumors in three-dimensional space, illustrating mirrored subclonal CNAs in a prostate cancer study, highlighting the genetic and physical complexity of tumor evolution.
Background: The precise manner in which morphological and mechanical properties of cervical muscles in patients with fibromyalgia and migraine are affected remains unclear.
Objectives: The objective of this study was to compare the morphological and mechanical properties of cervical muscles in individuals diagnosed with fibromyalgia who also experience migraine headaches with those who do not.
Methods: The study included two groups of fibromyalgia patients: one with migraine (n = 18, age = 44.
: The risk of developing glycemic dysregulation up to overt diabetes mellitus (DM) after an episode of acute pancreatitis (AP) is increasingly being analyzed. We aimed to assess the changes in serum glucose levels associated with the first episode of AP, as well as the impact of dysglycemia on outcomes such as the severity of inflammation, the length of hospitalization, mortality, and the persistence of hyperglycemia at follow-up. : All patients experiencing their first episode of AP, who presented to the Emergency Room (ER) between 1 January 2020 and 31 December 2023, were retrospectively included.
