[Nail changes in inflammatory dermatoses: recognition and treatment].

In many cases, chronic inflammatory dermatoses are accompanied by changes of the nails or periungual region. Sometimes nail changes occur even before the onset of the particular skin disease. In some cases, specific lesions of the nails and the perionychium can contribute to the diagnosis.

Age at diagnosis of paediatric unilateral and bilateral permanent hearing loss in Eastern Switzerland: a retrospective cohort study.

Study Aim: Undiagnosed and therefore untreated permanent paediatric hearing loss can have a detrimental impact on a child's speech, language, social and educational development, and quality of life. Therefore, early diagnosis is required for successful treatment with hearing aids to minimise the negative impact of hearing loss. Newborn hearing screening programmes may have decreased the average age at diagnosis of hearing loss worldwide, but outcomes vary widely between countries.

Sprouting and network data assessed in the chicken aortic ring assay under stimulation with human adipose-derived stem cell secretomes harvested from single cells or spheroids of different sizes.

The aortic ring assay is widely used to assess the angiogenic modulation evoked by various drugs. However, different parameters are used as readouts and there is no congruence in terminology. In addition, some researchers use one set of parameters, and other researchers choose parameters that overlap to some extent, but miss a part of these parameters, rendering a direct comparison of the readouts and results difficult [1].

Effect sizes of randomized-controlled studies of cognitive behavioral therapy for anxiety disorders over the past 30 years.

Background: Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is an effective treatment for the range of anxiety disorders as demonstrated in many randomized controlled trials (RCTs) conducted over the past 30 years.

Objective: To examine the change of CBT effect sizes over time, we tested whether publication year was a significant moderator.

Data Sources: We pooled studies from three previously published meta-analyses and searched three electronic databases (PubMed, PsychINFO, Web of Science) to identify any additional studies published from February 1, 2022 to January 24, 2025.
