Investigating the Use of Telemedicine by Health Care Providers to Diagnose and Manage Patients With Musculoskeletal Disorders: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Background: Access to care is a major challenge for patients with musculoskeletal disorders (MSKDs). Telemedicine is one of the solutions to improve access to care. However, initial remote diagnosis of MSKDs involves some challenges, such as the impossibility of touching the patient during the physical examination, which makes it more complex to obtain a valid diagnosis.

Improved Conductance Blockage Modeling of Cylindrical Nanopores, from 2D to Thick Membranes.

The ionic current blockage from a nanopore sensor is a fundamental metric for characterizing its dimensions and identifying molecules translocating through it. Yet, most analytical models predicting the conductance of a nanopore in both open and obstructed states remain inaccurate. Here, using an oblate spheroidal coordinate framework to study the electrical response of nanopore access regions, we reveal that the widely used model from Kowalczyk et al.

The effect of cesarean delivery on the neonatal gut microbiome in an under-resourced population in the Bronx, NY, USA.

Background: Neonatal and early-life gut microbiome changes are associated with altered cardiometabolic and immune development. In this study, we explored Cesarean delivery effects on the gut microbiome in our high-risk, under-resourced Bronx, NY population.

Results: Fecal samples from the Bronx MomBa Health Study (Bronx MomBa Health Study) were categorized by delivery mode (vaginal/Cesarean) and analyzed via 16 S rRNA gene sequencing at four timepoints over the first two years of life.

The Efficacy of Exercise Therapy for Rotator Cuff-Related Shoulder Pain According to the FITT Principle: A Systematic Review With Meta-analyses.

To evaluate the efficacy of exercise interventions with differing frequency, intensity, type, and time (FITT) on shoulder pain and disability in people with rotator cuff-related shoulder pain (RCRSP). Intervention systematic review with meta-analyses. Electronic searches were conducted up to May 2023.
