Background: Infantile colic (IC) is a functional gastrointestinal disorder characterized by crying spells lasting more than 3 hours a day, more than 3 days a week, for 3 weeks, according to the Rule of Three's.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of added probiotic supplementation in the mother's diet on the crying frequency of babies with infantile colic, maternal attachment, and maternal quality of life.

Design And Settings: 36 mothers and their babies were randomized into two groups.

Article Synopsis
  • Dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) is essential for managing acute and chronic coronary syndromes, helping to lower mortality rates and prevent further complications.
  • A study followed 1500 patients on a specific fixed-dose DAPT (ASA + clopidogrel) to evaluate its effectiveness and safety, primarily focusing on hospitalization and bleeding risks.
  • Results indicated that the fixed-dose combination therapy was effective, with low rates of hospitalization for cardiovascular issues and minimal bleeding complications in appropriately selected patients.

Background: Post-stroke hemiparesis can lead to decreased mobility, gait disturbances, impaired balance, postural instability, limitations in activities of daily living (ADL), and long-term disability.

Aims: The aim of this study was to examine the effect of non-immersive virtual reality game-based training (nIVRGT) in addition to conventional rehabilitation in stroke patients on dynamic balance, knee hyperextension control, and ADL.

Methods: Twenty-five chronic stroke patients aged between 51 and 70 were included in the study.

Article Synopsis
  • - Uterine leiomyomas are common smooth muscle tumors in women, while cervical leiomyomas are rare and present challenges in treatment due to limited information available.
  • - Although uterine artery embolization has had some success for treating cervical leiomyomas, it can lead to complications like expulsion or incomplete treatment.
  • - This case study highlights a patient treated successfully with bilateral ovarian artery embolization, which decreased her cervical fibroid size and relieved symptoms, suggesting this method as a viable, less invasive alternative for managing cervical leiomyomas.

Despite decades of extensive research on thermoelectric materials, BiTe alloys have dominated room-temperature applications. However, recent advancements have highlighted the potential of alternative candidates, notably MgSb-MgBi alloys, for low- to mid-temperature ranges. This study optimizes the low-temperature composition of this alloy system through Nb addition (MgNb(SbBi)Te), characterizing composition, microstructure, and transport properties.
