Immediate effects of corrective exercise versus curl-up in women with diastasis recti abdominis.

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.

Tumour evolution and microenvironment interactions in 2D and 3D space.

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.

Inferring allele-specific copy number aberrations and tumor phylogeography from spatially resolved transcriptomics.

Analyzing somatic evolution within a tumor over time and across space is a key challenge in cancer research. Spatially resolved transcriptomics (SRT) measures gene expression at thousands of spatial locations in a tumor, but does not directly reveal genomic aberrations. We introduce CalicoST, an algorithm to simultaneously infer allele-specific copy number aberrations (CNAs) and reconstruct spatial tumor evolution, or phylogeography, from SRT data.

Morphological and mechanical properties of cervical muscles in fibromyalgia with migraine: A case-control study.

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.

Impact of Serum Glucose Levels on Outcomes in Acute Pancreatitis: A Retrospective Analysis.

: 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.
