Thus, a good animal model is the sine qua non of the experimental research.

The study focused on a team of three well-matched male rowers participating in a 30-day, 2,650-mile continuous transatlantic rowing competition, examining the effects of extreme, prolonged stress on brain function and metabolic adaptations.
Methods: Measurements at the start and finish lines included body weight, height, waist circumference, body fat, and a panel of hormones and biochemical markers.
Article Synopsis
- - Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is an inflammatory condition of the nasal cavity and sinuses, diagnosed by experiencing two out of four key symptoms for at least 12 weeks and confirmed through imaging or physical exams.
- - This review compares outcomes for CRS patients who undergo functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS), considered the gold standard treatment, with those who receive noninterventional treatment through osteopathic manipulation (OMT).
- - While pharmacologic treatments are often the initial option for CRS, the review notes that OMT may provide symptom relief for patients exploring non-surgical options or those who do not respond to other treatments.
This review provides an updated overview of the association between breast augmentation and connective tissue diseases (CTDs). A narrative review of recent literature was conducted. Various autoimmune disorders, such as Raynaud's syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and Sjögren's syndrome, have been reported in association with breast implants, particularly silicone implants.

Our aim is to enhance understanding of the associations between obesity and DVT, particularly in patients with comorbid cardiovascular conditions. This relationship, although significant, is often underrepresented in discussions about obesity and DVT.
