XeCl excimer lasers have already been used to ablate bone, however, until now the results have been unsatisfactory until now. First, ablation of bone in air produced macroscopic noticeable carbonizations similar to those produced by thermal infrared lasers. Second, ablation rates were very low even on meniscus tissue. A new tool combination, XeCl excimer laser and tapered fibers, obtain higher ablation rates, because of its efficient light guiding capability. Using a liquid medium (water, normal saline solution) during laser application prevents macroscopic noticeable carbonizations.

Current virtual reality-based rehabilitation interventions in neuro-developmental disorders at developmental ages.
Front Behav Neurosci
January 2025
Economic, Psychological and Communication Sciences Department, Niccolò Cusano University, Rome, Italy.
This mini-review examines the available papers about virtual reality (VR) as a tool for the diagnosis or therapy of neurodevelopmental disorders, focusing on Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), and Specific Learning Disorders (SLD). Through a search on literature, we selected 62 studies published between 1998 and 2024. After exclusion criteria, our synoptic table includes 32 studies on ADHD (17 were on diagnostic evaluation and 15 were on therapeutic interventions), 2 on pure ASD, and 2 on pure SLD.

Background: The predictive role of the lymphocyte-associated inflammation index in post-stroke cognitive impairment (PSCI) remains controversial. Therefore, we performed an updated meta-analysis to update the evidence.
Methods: This meta-analysis was conducted following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines.
analysis of the effect of HCV genotype-specific polymorphisms in Core, NS3, NS5A, and NS5B proteins on T-cell epitope processing and presentation.
Front Microbiol
January 2025
Department of Biomedical Sciences, Nazarbayev University School of Medicine, Astana, Kazakhstan.
Background: HCV genotypes are 30-35% polymorphic at the nucleotide level, while subtypes within the same genotype differ by nearly 20%. Although previous studies have shown the immune escape potential of several mutations within the HCV proteins, little is known about the effect of genotype/subtype-specific gene polymorphism on T-cell immunity. Therefore, this study employed several methods to examine the impact of genotype/subtype-specific polymorphisms in Core, NS3, NS5A, and NS5B sequences on T cell epitope processing and HLA-epitope interactions.

FPRL2 has been shown to be associated with a variety of tumours but has not been well studied in breast cancer. In this study, We combine molecular biology techniques with bioinformatics to analyze the role of FPRL2 in breast cancer and adriamycin resistance. By utilizing bioinformatics, we mine TCGA and GEO public databases to assess FPRL2 expression in breast cancer patients and its correlation with patient prognosis.
