Background: Previous studies have suggested oxidative stress may play a key role in the pathogenesis of retinopathy, while evidence from observational studies directly linking oxidative biomarkers to clinically relevant outcomes has been limited. This study aims to investigate the association between oxidative balance score (OBS) and prevalence of retinopathy in a nationally representative sample of U.S.

Purpose: Tranexamic acid is widely accepted for hip fractures but there is no agreement about dose or application method and the use is still off label for hip fractures. The aim of our study was to find the best application method of tranexamic acid in patients with femoral neck fractures comparing total blood loss, hemoglobin and transfusion rate.

Methods: A retrospective single centre cohort study (level I trauma centre) with 2008 patients treated operatively for a proximal femur fracture between January 2016 and January 2022 was performed.

Daily contact with considerable amounts of polystyrene nanoparticles (PSNPs) may cause harmful effects on the living organisms, through mechanisms that are not fully understood. The study aimed to evaluate the cytotoxic and genotoxic effects of PSNPs (size 200 nm and 40 nm) in mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). In order to estimate cellular uptake and retention of nanoplastics, PSNP-treated cells have been analyzed by transmission electron microscopy.

Background: This study aims to assess the effectiveness of low-dose Escitalopram (10 mg) or low-dose Desvenlafaxine (25 mg) combined with mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) in addressing challenges in treating generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), particularly in patients resistant to conventional therapies.

Methods: A prospective cohort study was conducted with individuals diagnosed with treatment-resistant GAD. group A included patients unresponsive to citalopram, imipramine, paroxetine, and sertraline, who were then treated with low-dose Escitalopram (10 mg) combined with MBCT.
