Purpose: To investigate the effects of a combination of running and food restriction on the chemical properties of the bone in young female rats using Raman spectroscopy. Furthermore, we investigated whether the chemical property parameters correlated with the bone-breaking strength.

Methods: Female Sprague-Dawley rats (7 weeks old) were randomly divided into four groups: sedentary and ad libitum feeding (SED, n = 8), voluntary running exercise and ad libitum feeding (EX, n = 8), sedentary and 30% food-restricted (SED-FR, n = 8), and voluntary running exercise and 30% food-restricted (EXFR, n = 8).

Article Synopsis
  • * The study involved 40 OSCC patients, using real-time PCR to measure miRNA levels and conducting statistical analyses to understand their correlation with metastasis.
  • * Key findings indicated that miR-423 and miR-125 were effective in diagnosing primary neck lymph node metastases, while miR-5100 was useful for predicting late metastasis, suggesting potential for personalized treatment approaches.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to assess the effects and complications of self-medication among patients at the Maradi RHC, using interviews conducted from June to September 2021.
  • Out of 254 patients surveyed, a 3.63% self-medication frequency was found, primarily among women, with most patients attending Koranic school or working as housewives; common self-medication sources included traditional practitioners and street vendors.
  • Major complications included jaundice and urticaria, with some patients discharged cured and others dying; the authors suggest launching an awareness program to address the health risks associated with self-medication.

Background: This study aimed to assess the longitudinal health-related quality of life (HRQOL) using the Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite (EPIC) and HRQOL change between the nerve-sparing technique in Japanese men treated with robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP).

Methods: A total of 573 patients who received RARP were included in this study. EPIC questionnaire was administered before treatment and up to 36 months after RARP.
