Although pharmacotherapy with NSAIDs and tricyclic antidepressants comprises the traditional treatment of tension-type headaches (TTHs), the use of other therapeutic approaches in combination with medications can increase the success of treatment. Patients with comorbid mood disorders and unremitting headaches may particularly benefit from some nonpharmacologic approaches. This review focuses on complementary and alternative approaches to TTH treatment, including psychological therapies, acupuncture, and physical treatments.

A fault tolerant CSA in QCA technology for IoT devices.

Sci Rep

January 2025

Department of Computer Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, Bu-Ali Sina University, Hamedan, Iran.

According to recent research, with the ever-increasing use of Internet of Things (IoT) devices, there has arisen an ever-growing need for high-performance yet low-power circuits that can efficiently process information. Quantum-dot Cellular Automata (QCA) has emerged as a promising alternative to conventional complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) technology due to its great potential in digital design at nanoscale levels on account of very low power consumption and very high processing speed. However, QCA circuits are inherently prone to faults due to variations in manufacturing processes and due to the influence of environmental factors.

Background: Conventional treatments for cardiometabolic diseases face limitations related to cost, efficacy, and side effects. Hibiscus sabdariffa (HS) is a common food product and a potential alternative. However, previous studies have shown inconsistent results and lacked assessments of result certainty, intervention safety, and subgroup analysis credibility.

Synthetic nucleic acids, also defined as xenobiotic nucleic acids (XNAs), opened an avenue to address the limitations of nucleic acid therapeutics and the development of alternative carriers for genetic information in biotechnological applications. Two related XNA systems of high interest are the α-l-threose nucleic acid (TNA) and (3'-2') phosphonomethyl threosyl nucleic acid (tPhoNA), where TNAs show potential in antisense applications, whereas tPhoNAs are investigated for their predisposition toward orthogonal genetic systems. We present predictions on helical models of TNA and tPhoNA chemistry in homoduplexes and in complex with native ribose chemistries.
