Efficacy of Integrated Yoga and Naturopathy With Physiotherapy or Acupuncture for Low Back Pain: A Parallel, Two-Arm, Randomized Trial.

Introduction: Low back pain (LBP) is a musculoskeletal condition that affects many individuals. While physiotherapy and acupuncture are frequently used treatments, determining their specific contributions when used alongside integrated yoga and naturopathy (IYN) therapy for relieving chronic LBP symptoms and enhancing quality of life is important.

Methodology: In the present prospective randomized comparative trial, a total of 60 participants were divided into the following two groups: physiotherapy with IYN and acupuncture with IYN.

Molecular Docking, Synthesis, and Characterization of Furanyl-Pyrazolyl Acetamide and 2,4-Thiazolidinyl-Furan-3-Carboxamide Derivatives as Neuroinflammatory Protective Agents.

Microglia are key immune cells in the brain that maintain homeostasis and defend against immune threats. Targeting the dysfunctional microglia is one of the most promising approaches to inhibit neuroinflammation. In the current study, a diverse series of molecular hybrids were designed and screened through molecular docking against two neuroinflammatory targets, namely HMGB1 (2LY4) and HMGB1 Box A (4QR9) proteins.

Indian Academy of Pediatrics Consensus Statement on Diagnosis and Management of Bone and Joint Infections in Children.

Justification: Osteoarticular infections are fairly common in children but often these are associated with underdiagnosis, delayed diagnosis and improper management. This leads to an increased incidence of complications and poor outcomes. Given the paucity of standard protocols for the management of these children in the Indian context, Indian Academy of Pediatrics (IAP) has taken the initiative to formulate guidelines for the early diagnosis and rational management of bone and joint infections (BJIs).

An Evaluation of an Advanced Practice Provider Led Weight Intervention in Liver Disease (WILD) Pathway.

Within the scope of their practice, advanced practice providers provide similar patient care as physicians, but in some cases have outperformed physicians in terms of health outcomes, satisfaction, and cost-effectiveness. At an academic medical center, hepatology trained advanced practice providers, who were also certified in obesity management, led an interprofessional team to develop the Weight Intervention in Liver Disease pathway. In September 2018, patients who were seen in the hepatology practice and met criteria for enrollment were referred to the Weight Intervention in Liver Disease program for comprehensive care of obesity and related metabolic disorders.
