Background: Hand grip strength is a critical indicator of upper extremity function, especially important in healthcare professions. Effective upper extremity function relies on proximal stability from the scapula and distal mobility from hand actions. This study aimed to examine the relationship between scapular dyskinesia and hand grip strength in healthcare students with smartphone addiction.

Within ovarian cancer research, patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models recapitulate histologic features and genomic aberrations found in original tumors. However, conflicting data from published studies have demonstrated significant transcriptional differences between PDXs and original tumors, challenging the fidelity of these models. We employed a quantitative mass spectrometry-based proteomic approach coupled with generation of patient-specific databases using RNA-seq data to investigate the proteogenomic landscape of serially-passaged PDX models established from two patients with distinct subtypes of ovarian cancer.

The tobacco epidemic has claimed countless lives, caused significant morbidity, and cost billions of dollars in direct costs and lost productivity. Despite its acute vascular effects, nicotine alone has not been definitively linked to cardiovascular events. Rather, additives found in cigarettes and other tobacco products likely play a bigger role in tobacco's link to cardiovascular events.

Article Synopsis
  • - EEG spectral analysis is a more sensitive method for assessing sleep disruption compared to traditional sleep architecture, helping to differentiate between children with narcolepsy, idiopathic hypersomnia (IH), and those with subjective sleepiness.
  • - The study analyzed specific EEG frequency powers (delta, theta, alpha, sigma, and beta) during various sleep stages and found significant differences, particularly in beta and theta power levels among the groups of children tested.
  • - Results showed that children with narcolepsy displayed higher theta power than those with subjective sleepiness, while delta power was lower in both narcolepsy and IH groups, suggesting unique patterns that could enhance understanding of these sleep disorders.
