Article Synopsis
- - Pain is a major issue for about 70% of chronic pancreatitis patients, but the nature of this pain varies among individuals, complicating treatment approaches.
- - The INPAIN study will analyze 400 chronic pancreatitis patients and include a control group, using a specialized testing panel over four years to identify pain profiles and predict treatment responses.
- - This research aims to create a bedside tool that personalizes treatment strategies for chronic pancreatitis pain, potentially leading to better patient outcomes and reduced side effects.
Article Synopsis
- The study assesses the reliability of measuring ankle dorsiflexor muscle strength and rate of force development (RFD) in individuals who have had a stroke, highlighting the importance for rehabilitation efficacy.
- Results showed excellent reliability for isometric maximal voluntary contraction (MVC) of the dorsiflexor muscles, while other measures, like TA EMG and RFD, showed good to moderate reliability, questioning their consistency.
- The conclusion suggests further large-scale studies are needed to better understand the reliability of these measurements, especially concerning rapid force production in stroke patients.
Objectives: In this study, we explored the effects of chiropractic spinal adjustments on resting-state electroencephalography (EEG) recordings and early somatosensory evoked potentials (SEPs) in Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease.
Methods: In this randomized cross-over study, 14 adults with Alzheimer's disease (average age 67 ± 6 years, 2 females:12 males) and 14 adults with Parkinson's disease (average age 62 ± 11 years, 1 female:13 males) participated. The participants underwent chiropractic spinal adjustments and a control (sham) intervention in a randomized order, with a minimum of one week between each intervention.
Objective: The mechanisms behind the diminished incretin effect in type 2 diabetes are uncertain, but impaired vagal transmission has been suggested. We aimed to investigate the association between the incretin effect and autonomic neuropathy, and the degree of dysglycaemia and duration of diabetes.
Design And Methods: For a cross-sectional study, we included participants with either longstanding type 2 diabetes, recent onset, untreated diabetes and controls without diabetes matched for age, sex and body mass index.
