Article Synopsis
  • * The study introduces enhanced modeling techniques for neutrino flux and detector response, and it distinguishes between starting (inside) and throughgoing (outside) neutrino interaction events to improve energy resolution.
  • * The findings indicate a best-fit point for the 3+1 model with sin²(2θ_{24})=0.16 and Δm_{41}²=3.5 eV², supporting previous studies while showing consistency with no evidence of sterile neutrinos, as reflected

Introduction: Limited research suggests that spinal manipulative therapy (SMT) might positively influence balance, yet its association with falls remains underexplored. We hypothesized that older adults receiving chiropractic SMT for spinal pain would have a reduced fall risk during 13 months of follow-up compared to matched controls.

Methods: We searched >116 million patient records from TriNetX (2013-2023; Cambridge, MA, US) to identify adults aged ≥65 years with spinal pain.

Article Synopsis
  • Premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) are common in individuals with left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction, yet their prevalence in the general population is not well understood.
  • A multicenter study evaluated the prevalence of frequent (PVCs >5%) and high burden (PVCs >10%) PVCs among patients monitored with ambulatory Holter monitors, analyzing demographics and left ventricle ejection fraction (LVEF).
  • Results showed that PVCs >5% and >10% were present in 4% and 5% of participants, respectively, with higher prevalence in older males, while females had a lower occurrence of PVCs despite similar rates when LVEF <50%.

Background: Corticosteroids are among the few effective treatments for knee osteoarthritis, but short duration of action limits their utility. EP-104IAR, a long-acting formulation of fluticasone propionate for intra-articular injection, optimises the action of fluticasone propionate through novel diffusion-based extended-release technology. The SPRINGBOARD trial assessed the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of EP-104IAR in people with knee osteoarthritis.
