: Pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) therapy offers a promising approach to treating inflammatory diseases. Its notable anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial effects and enhancement of microcirculation in the nasal mucosa make it a valuable treatment option. Despite its potential, the use of PEMF for chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is still in its early stages, with limited exploration of its effectiveness.

Background/objectives: Hamstring shortening is a significant musculoskeletal condition affecting the posture and mobility of the spine and lower extremities. This study examined the impact of incorporating neurodynamic slump stretch and suboccipital muscle inhibition into passive static stretching on hamstring flexibility in individuals with short hamstrings.
Methods: 117 female participants were classified into three groups: the control group, which received passive static stretch of the hamstring muscle; the neurodynamic slump group, which received neurodynamic slump stretch with passive static stretch; and the suboccipital muscle inhibition group, which received suboccipital muscle inhibition with passive static stretch, for three sessions a week, 10 min each, for four weeks.
Article Synopsis
- * A study in Egypt aimed to determine the prevalence of CT and NG infections among pregnant women attending antenatal clinics, using urine samples for testing and structured questionnaires for data collection.
- * The findings revealed a low prevalence of CT at 0.29% with no cases of NG detected, while a significant number (40.3%) of participants reported gynecological symptoms, emphasizing the need for better STI screening and diagnostic strategies in Egypt.
Article Synopsis
- The research focuses on autophagy-associated genes and MicroRNAs (miRs) in glioma prognosis within the Pakistani population, exploring their roles in glioma development and patient survival.
- Utilizing techniques like real-time PCR and immunohistochemistry, the study analyzed expression levels of genes and miRs in glioma tissues, resulting in comprehensive statistical evaluations tailored to low- and high-grade gliomas.
- Findings showed significant gender and age demographics, with glioblastoma and astrocytoma being common subtypes, while revealing correlations between key prognostic markers and clinicopathological factors, alongside unique molecular signatures related to autophagy in different glioma grades.
Background: Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a lethal type of venous thromboembolic disease. Right ventricular (RV) failure is not an uncommon complication of PE leading to higher adverse outcomes. The tricuspid annular peak systolic excursion/pulmonary artery systolic pressure (TAPSE/PASP) ratio as a surrogate for RV-pulmonary artery coupling has proven to be among the predictor of clinical outcomes in multiple patient groups.
