Laparoscopic surgery for impacted dentures in the descending colon: A case report.

Introduction And Importance: Denture ingestion, commonly seen in older adults, can also occur in younger individuals. Most dentures require intervention as they cannot be excreted naturally. We report a case of a young male undergoing laparoscopic surgery to remove dentures impacted in the descending colon two months post-ingestion.

Poncirus trifoliata Extract and Its Active Coumarins Alleviate Dexamethasone-Induced Skeletal Muscle Atrophy by Regulating Protein Synthesis, Mitochondrial Biogenesis, and Gut Microbiota.

Sarcopenia, an age-related decline in skeletal muscle mass and function, contributes to frailty and increased morbidity in the elderly. This necessitates the development of effective interventions to combat muscle atrophy. This study investigated the therapeutic potential of Poncirus trifoliata ethanol extract (PT) and its coumarin derivatives against dexamethasone (DEX)-induced muscle atrophy.

Anatomy and biomechanics of the scapholunate ligament in Vietnamese cadavers.

This study investigates the anatomy and biomechanics of the scapholunate ligament in Vietnamese cadavers. Measurements reveal population-specific dimensions and tensile strength, providing valuable insights for clinical management of wrist instability and guiding future research in orthopedic applications.

Effect of photoinduction in PANi/TiO heterogeneous structure on conductance of PANi component.

A heterostructure consisting of a PANi and a TiO layer was chemically deposited consecutively on a glass substrate to investigate the effect of photoinduction in the structure on the conductance of the PANi component. It has been found that in response to the excitation light, the conductance of the PANi component in the PANi/TiO heterostructure exhibits a distinct mode to be different from that of a single pristine PANi layer. The features account for the effects of photoelectronic and electrochemical processes that associate with the photoinduction in the PANi/TiO heterostructure.

Predictors of relapse after discontinuing antipsychotics in patients with schizophrenia spectrum disorders.

We studied 61 patients with schizophrenia spectrum disorders who discontinued medication after achieving symptomatic remission. Over 3 years, relapse rates were significantly higher in those not meeting full recovery (p = 0.006) or remission (p < 0.
