Article Synopsis
- - Chronic low back pain (CLBP) significantly affects individuals' physical and emotional health, leading to high healthcare costs and reduced productivity, yet there is a gap in adopting recommended nonpharmacologic treatments like yoga in practice.
- - The study aimed to assess the effectiveness of virtual yoga classes over a wait-list control in reducing CLBP intensity, improving back-related function, enhancing sleep quality, and decreasing pain medication use in adults aged 18 to 64.
- - Conducted as a 24-week randomized clinical trial with participants receiving 12 weeks of live streamed hatha yoga classes, the main outcomes focused on measuring pain intensity and disability after 12 weeks, with follow-up assessments at 24 weeks to gauge broader impacts.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how demographic factors and the timing of patellar dislocations influence patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) like knee pain, function, and quality of life.
- It categorizes patients into four groups based on the timing of their dislocations and analyzes KOOS scores, comparing results between genders and correlating them with age, BMI, and dislocation timing.
- Key findings highlight that men tend to report better outcomes after a first dislocation, while improvements in pain and function are linked to lower BMI and younger age, with outcomes worsening as time from the initial injury increases.
Anticoagulant rodenticides (ARs) are increasingly recognized as a threat to non-target species including native wildlife. Fishers (Pekania pennanti) are generally considered deep forest inhabitants that are not expected to have high exposure to ARs. To evaluate the distribution and levels of ARs in fishers, we analyzed liver samples from fisher carcasses (N = 45) opportunistically trapped across Vermont and New Hampshire between 2018 and 2019.

New compounds that selectively target conserved viral features are attractive therapeutic candidates, particularly for combating newly emergent viral threats. The innate immune system features a sustained capability to combat pathogens through production of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs); however, these AMPs have shortcomings that can preclude clinical use.

Background/objective: Data on IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) come almost exclusively from cohorts from Asia, Europe, and North America. We conducted this study to describe the clinical presentation, phenotype distribution, and association with sex, ethnicity, and serological markers in a large cohort of Latin American patients with IgG4-RD.
Methods: We performed a multicenter medical records review study including 184 Latin American IgG4-RD patients.
