Background/objective: Identifying research priorities of Veterans, MS researchers, and key stakeholders is critical to advance high-quality, evidence-based, and Veteran-specific MS care.
Methods: We used a modified Delphi approach to identify research priorities for Veterans with MS. Electronic surveys were distributed to Veterans with MS (n = 50,975), MS researchers (n = 191), VA healthcare providers (1,337), and funding agency representatives (n = 6) asking about their 2-3 most important research questions that would benefit Veterans with MS for researchers to answer in the next 5-10 years.

Background: Mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) are a group of lysosomal storage diseases with substantial unmet medical needs-for both patients and caregivers. Approved therapies are limited, and the perception of investigative ones remains enigmatic.
Method: Using an innovative survey concept based on the discrete choice experiment method (DEC) with neuronopathic and non-neuronopathic patient scenarios, we aimed to evaluate how parents of children with MPS perceive different approved and innovative therapies.

This prospective observational study aimed to compare abdominal hysterectomy (AH), vaginal hysterectomy (VH), and total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH) in terms of oxidative stress (OS) by measuring serum levels of total antioxidant status (TAS), total oxidant status (TOS), and oxidative stress index (OSI). Of the 3 groups, namely, AH, VH, and TLH, 22 patients were enrolled in each to investigate the aim of the study mentioned above. Patient demographics, clinical and surgical characteristics, and preoperative and postoperative (0th and 24th hours) serum TAS, TOS, and OSI levels were investigated.

Methods: The study was a randomized clinical trial. It was done to check the equivalence between two parallel groups of patients with DDH of grade 2 or more who underwent open reduction operations for their hips: Group 1, division of the iliopsoas tendon at the pelvic brim, and Group 2, division of the tendon at the lesser trochanter level.

Objectives: In this investigation, the protective effects of hydroxytyrosol (HT) administered prior to myocardial infarction in rats were examined, with a particular focus on its potential roles within the Notch pathway.
Materials And Methods: The animals were categorized into seven groups (n=7): control, myocardial infarction (MI) 6 hr, MI 24 hr, MI 7 day, MI+HT 6 hr, MI+HT 24 hr, MI+HT 7 day. In order to create infarction, the rats received a subcutaneous injection of isoproterenol at a dose of 200 mg/kg.
