Muscle-Derived Bioactive Factors: MyoEVs and Myokines.

Overview of the functions and applications of myokines and MyoEVs.

Everolimus in pituitary tumor: a review of preclinical and clinical evidence.

Although pituitary tumors (PTs) are mostly benign, some PTs are characterized by low surgical resection rates, high recurrence rates, and poor response to conventional treatments and profoundly affect patients' quality of life. Everolimus (EVE) is the only FDA-approved mTOR inhibitor, which can be used for oral treatment. It effectively inhibits tumor cell proliferation and angiogenesis.

Effects of innovative modular prone positioning tools in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome due to COVID-19 during awake prone position: a prospective randomized controlled trial.

Objectives: Our aim is to investigate the effects of a innovative modular prone positioning tools on patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) caused by COVID-19 during awake prone positioning (AW-PP).

Methods: This prospective randomized controlled study initially enrolled 168 patients with COVID-19 due to ARDS. However, 92 were subsequently disqualified, leaving 76 patients who were randomly assigned to either the observation group (n = 38) or the control group (n = 38).

Assessment of dermal safety of petroleum ether extract from L.

(), known for its aromatic leaves and rhizomes, is extensively used in traditional medicine to treat digestive issues, inflammation, pain, anxiety, and stress. The petroleum ether extract of isolates specific bioactive compounds using petroleum ether, a nonpolar solvent effective in dissolving nonpolar plant compounds. This extract potentially offers antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and analgesic benefits.

Silica Waveguide Thermo-Optic Mode Switch with Bimodal S-Bend.

A silica waveguide thermo-optic mode switch with small radius bimodal S-bends is demonstrated in this study. The cascaded multimode interference coupler is adopted to implement the E and E mode selective output. The beam propagation method is used in design optimization.
