Association Between the Dietary Inflammatory Index and Middle Ear Disease in Adults: An NHANES Analysis.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between the dietary inflammatory index (DII) and middle ear disease (MED) in adults using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2015 to 2020.

Study Design: A cross-sectional analysis was conducted on a sample of American adults to explore the association between DII and MED.

Setting: The study utilized data from 3 NHANES cycles (2015-2020), assessing the health and nutritional status of adults and children in the United States.

Effects of coupling inhibitory and facilitatory repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation on motor recovery in patients following acute cerebral infarction.

Background: The treatment for patients suffering from motor dysfunction following stroke using continuous repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) has the potential to be beneficial for recovery. However, the impact of explicit results on the coupling of various rTMS protocols on motor treatment in patients following acute cerebral infarction remain unexplored.

Objective: The current study aims to design a sham-controlled randomized report to explore the capability of consecutive suppressive-facilitatory rTMS method to increase the motor results following acute stroke.
