Patients with vibration disease caused by local vibration and those with the disease caused by general vibration demonstrate similar changes in regulation of central nervous system, as shown by EEG--diffuse changes and locus of pathologic activity mostly in right temporal cortex. Unlike local vibration, the combined one acting long (over 10-15 years) causes more pathologic changes in brain, not only in cerebral cortex, but also in brainstem and diencephalic structures.

Itching tends to worsen at night in patients with itchy skin diseases, such as atopic dermatitis. Unconscious scratching during sleep can exacerbate symptoms, cause sleep disturbances, or reduce quality of life. Therefore, evaluating nocturnal scratching behaviour is important for better patient care.

Background & Aims: Current guidelines recommend a 2-step approach for risk stratification in patients with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) with Fibrosis-4 index (FIB-4) followed by liver stiffness measurement (LSM) by vibration-controlled transient elastography (VCTE) or similar second-line tests. This study aimed to examine to prognostic performance of this approach.
Methods: The VCTE-Prognosis Study was a longitudinal study of patients with MASLD who had undergone VCTE examinations at 16 centres from the US, Europe and Asia with subsequent follow-up for clinical events.

Chalcones are organic substances that have diverse biological activities and exhibit potential for the treatment of various diseases. The properties of these substances depend on the type and position of the functional group attached to their aromatic rings. As a result, in this work the chalcone (2E)-1-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-prop-2-en-1-one (CHO) was investigated by Raman spectroscopy and computational calculations at high pressures with the objective of analyzing its structural stability.

Pelvic floor dysfunction and sexual health issues are common postpartum due to weakened pelvic muscles, significantly impacting women's quality of life (QoL). Pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) is a widely used approach to address these issues. This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of two rehabilitation methods-vibrating vaginal cones (VCG) and PFMT exercises (CG)-in improving pelvic floor muscle strength, reducing dyspareunia, and enhancing sexual function in postpartum women.

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disease that increasingly affects people every year. It is known that with its progression and poor management, metabolic changes can lead to organ dysfunctions, including kidneys. The study aimed to combine Raman spectroscopy and biochemical lipid profiling, complemented by machine learning (ML) techniques to evaluate chemical composition changes in kidneys induced by Type 2 Diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
