Objective: To study the effectiveness of sublingual misoprostol for cervical ripening before MVA in women aged between 35 and 55 years old.
Material And Method: Women aged between 35 and 55 years old who had indications for endometrial sampling were recruited. Exclusion criteria were gross pathology of cervix, pregnancy, allergy to misoprostol, and abnormal coagulopathy. Eighty women who had indication for MVA were then assigned by randomization (block of four). Participants were treated with either sublingual 200 microg of misoprostol (study group) or placebo (controlled group) for cervical priming at two hours before procedure. The largest diameter of the Hegar's dilator through internal so without any resistance before MVA was the primary collected data. Secondary data were operating time, immediate pain score, satisfactory score, complications, and side effects.
Results: Mean age of misoprostol and controlled group were 44.8 +/- 5.2 and 45.5 +/- 5.0 years old, respectively. One third of both groups had previously experienced uterine curettage. The initial cervical diameter before MVA of individuals receiving misoprostol and controlled group were 6.9 +/- 2.0 and 5.5 +/- 2.4 mm, respectively. The MVA time in misoprostol group was significantly shorter than controlled group (5.1 +/- 1.7 vs. 8.0 +/- 3.9 min, p < 0.001). The additional analgesia was not different in both groups. Side effect before MVA were more significantly found in misoprostol group (p = 0.001). Lower post MVA pain and satisfactory score were better reported in misoprostol group than placebo's (p < 0.001).
Conclusion: Two hundred micrograms of sublingual misoprostol administration prior to MVA gave significantly effective result of cervical priming. Satisfactory and pain scores were more favorable in misoprostol group with manageable side effects.

The efficacy of Lacticaseibacillus paracasei MSMC39-1 and Bifidobacterium animalis TA-1 probiotics in modulating gut microbiota and reducing the risk of the characteristics of metabolic syndrome: A randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled study.

Modern treatment, a healthy diet, and physical activity routines lower the risk factors for metabolic syndrome; however, this condition is associated with all-cause and cardiovascular mortality worldwide. This investigation involved a randomized controlled trial, double-blind, parallel study. Fifty-eight participants with risk factors of metabolic syndrome according to the inclusion criteria were randomized into two groups and given probiotics (Lacticaseibacillus paracasei MSMC39-1 and Bifidobacterium animalis TA-1) (n = 31) or a placebo (n = 27).

Background: Motor imagery is the mental representation of a movement without physical execution. When motor imagery is performed to enhance motor learning and performance, participants must reach a temporal congruence between the imagined and actual movement execution. Identifying factors that can influence this capacity could enhance the effectiveness of motor imagery programs.

Background: Postinfectious cough was a common clinical symptom, which troubled patients and increased economic burden. The efficacy of pharmacotherapy for this symptom was unsatisfactory. This study aimed to explore the intervention effect of intensified mask-wearing on patients with post-upper respiratory tract infection cough and its role in reducing the economic burden of patients.

Background: This study evaluates the efficacy and safety of sitagliptin versus gliclazide, combined with metformin, in treatment-naive patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and glucotoxicity.
Methods: In this single-center, randomized, controlled noninferiority trial, 129 treatment-naive patients with T2DM with glucotoxicity (fasting plasma glucose [FPG] ≥ 200 mg/dL and glycated hemoglobin ≥ 9.0%) were randomized to receive sitagliptin plus metformin (n = 66) or gliclazide plus metformin (n = 63) for 12 weeks.
