One-day low-residue diet is equally effective as the multiple-day low-residue diet in achieving adequate bowel cleansing: a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

Background/aims: Colonoscopy is widely used as a diagnostic and preventive procedure for colorectal diseases. The most recent guidelines advocate the use of a low-residue diet (LRD) for bowel preparation before colonoscopy. LRD duration varies considerably, with recommended 1-day and multiple-day regimens in clinical practice.

Exploring the association of adverse drug reactions with medication adherence and quality of life among hypertensive patients: a cross-sectional study.

Background: Effective hypertension management requires medication adherence to prevent complications. However, adverse drug reactions (ADRs) can undermine adherence and negatively affect patients' quality of life. Limited research has explored the association between ADRs, medication adherence, and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in individuals with hypertension.

Midfacial toddler excoriation syndrome (MiTES): case series, diagnostic criteria and evidence for a pathogenic mechanism.

Background: PRDM12 polyalanine tract expansions cause two different disorders: midfacial toddler excoriation syndrome (MiTES; itch with normal pain sensation associated with 18 homozygous alanines (18A); and congenital insensitivity to pain (CIP) with normal itch associated with 19 homozygous alanines (19A). Knowledge of the phenotype, genotype and disease mechanism of MiTES is incomplete. Why 18A vs.

Evidence of a genetic background predisposing to complex regional pain syndrome type 1.

Background: Complex regional pain syndrome type 1 (CRPS-1) is a rare, disabling and sometimes chronic disorder usually arising after a trauma. This exploratory study examined whether patients with chronic CRPS-1 have a different genetic profile compared with those who do not have the condition.

Methods: Exome sequencing was performed to seek altered non-synonymous SNP allele frequencies in a discovery cohort of well-characterised patients with chronic CRPS-1 (n34) compared with population databases.

Acute and sub-chronic oral toxicity study of purple sweet potato ( [L.] Lam) yogurt in mice ().

Background And Aim: Food safety is an important aspect to be evaluated in preventing any potentially harmful side effects of food product such as yogurt. The purple sweet potato yogurt product was developed to combine the benefits of probiotic activities in yogurt and the bioactive effects of anthocyanin in purple sweet potato. This study was performed to investigate acute and sub-chronic oral toxicity of purple sweet potato yogurt (PSPY) in mice.

The Ethanol Extract of Marine Sponge Aaptos suberitoides Suppress Cell Viability, Cell Proliferation and Cell Migration in HER2-Positive Breast Cancer Cell Line.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the cytotoxicity, anti-proliferation and anti-migration effect of the ethanol extract of Aaptos suberitoides on trastuzumab-resistant HER2+ breast cancer cell line.

Methods: Aaptos suberitoides was collected from Tinjil Island, Banten, Indonesia, and was processed with maceration and ethanol extraction. HCC-1954 cells were treated with the ethanol extract and then followed by 3- [4, 5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl] -2.

Temporal association between serious bleeding and immunization: vitamin K deficiency as main causative factor.

Background: Bleeding as an adverse event following immunization (AEFI) that is rarely reported in children, although it can be a parental concern. Bleeding episodes ranging in severity from mild to severe and defined as any external and/or internal bleeding can be caused by acquired or hereditary disorders. This study analyzes whether bleeding episodes in children that were recorded as AEFIs are causally associated with immunization and elaborates their etiology.
