Purpose: Despite the high prevalence of ventral hernias worldwide, intraoperative drain placement remains a controversial topic. The benefit in reducing postoperative complications has not yet been clearly demonstrated. This study investigates whether a drain prevents postoperative complications after minimally invasive ventral hernia repair using the extended-totally-extraperitoneal-(eTEP)-technique.

Background: The present study utilized PET imaging to examine how long-term cocaine self-administration (SA) and time-off from cocaine affected kappa opioid receptor (KOR) availability in the brain of previously cocaine-naïve monkeys. In addition, neuronally derived small extracellular vesicles (NDEs) were measured from plasma to identify peripheral measures of KORs.
Methods: Female (n=6) and male (n=7) cynomolgus monkeys, living in stable same-sex social groups, were trained to SA intravenous cocaine.

Introduction: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune neurological disease with a variable prognosis and unpredictable course. Fatigue, pain and low mood are common symptoms that tend to fluctuate in people with MS (pwMS). Disrupted circadian rhythms may have a role in the symptoms' variability.

These instructions can be challenging to adhere to during Ramadan when patients fast for extended periods. The O-SEMA-FAST study assessed the impact of fasting on adherence to oral semaglutide dosing instructions and its subsequent effects on glycaemic control and body weight.

Objective: The aim of the present study was to characterize the antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory activities of postbiotics from lactic acid bacteria against .
Material And Methods: The anti- activity of postbiotics from the CERELA culture collection was assessed by measuring changes in the expression of key host proteins by ELISA and qPCR, the proteolytic activity by a fluorescence and a spectrophotometric method and virulence factors from by qPCR.
Results: Even though CRL1522 and CRL1363 exhibit only a discrete antibacterial activity against , the cell-free supernatants of these strains significantly reduced -induced secretion of interleukins IL-6 and IL-8 by keratinocytes and TNF-α and IL-6 by U937 macrophage-like cells.
