AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
Background: Motivational interviewing (MI) is a strategy for promoting adherence to treatment regimens among patients with diabetes. However, limited evidence exists regarding its effectiveness in reducing A1C.
Objective: To identify and synthesize evidence about the effectiveness of patient, provider, and health system interventions to improve diabetes care among patients with type 1 diabetes.
Design: This was a systematic review of randomized controlled trials.
Methods: A search was conducted of the scientific databases MEDLINE, Elsevier, CINAHL, Google Scholar, ProQuest, Ovid, and PubMed without imposing any time limit. Only four documents met the inclusion criteria and were included in the final analysis. The methodological quality of these four articles was reviewed by three reviewers using the Jadad Scale. The main intervention and the primary outcome in this study were MI or motivational enhancement therapy and A1C, respectively.
Results: The retrieved studies reported that MI promotes self-monitoring of blood glucose and reduces A1C.
Conclusion: MI is effective in enhancing patients' adherence to the treatment regimen and thereby decreasing A1C. Given the fact that the reviewed studies had not eliminated the effects of confounding factors, further studies are needed to assess the pure effects of MI on adherence to treatment regimens and A1C levels.

Purpose: CytoSorb® (CS) adsorbent is a hemoadsorption filter for extracorporeal blood purification often integrated into continuous kidney replacement therapy (CKRT). It is primarily used in critically ill patients with sepsis and related conditions, including cytokine storms and systemic inflammatory responses. Up to now, there is no evidence nor recommendation for the use of CS filters in sepsis (22).

Background: Infertility is a significant issue in spinal cord injury (SCI) patients. Men with SCI often experience erectile and ejaculatory dysfunctions, and low sperm quality leading to impaired fertility. In this study, we investigated the effectiveness of Erythropoietin (EPO)alginate/chitosan (CH-AL) hydrogel on SCI-induced male rat infertility.

Treponema denticola, a bacterium that forms a "red complex" with Porphyromonas gingivalis and Tannerella forsythia, is associated with periodontitis, pulpitis, and other oral infections. The major surface protein (Msp) is a surface glycoprotein with a relatively well-established overall domain structure (N-terminal, central and C-terminal regions) and a controversial tertiary structure. As one of the key virulence factors of T.

An unprecedented global outbreak caused by the monkeypox virus (MPXV) prompted the World Health Organization to declare a public health emergency of international concern on July 23, 2022. Therapeutics and vaccines for MPXV are not widely available, necessitating further studies, particularly in drug repurposing area. To this end, the standardization of in vitro infection systems is essential.

Objective: Our primary objective was to evaluate the safety and feasibility of transcranial direct current stimulation combined with exercise therapy for the treatment of cervicogenic headache. Our exploratory objectives compared symptoms of headache, mood, pain, and quality of life between active and sham transcranial direct stimulation combined with exercise therapy.
Background: Cervicogenic headache arises from injury to the cervical spine or degenerative diseases impacting cervical spine structure resulting in pain, reduced quality of life, and impaired function.
