Objective: The purpose is to investigate the influence of nifedipine, labetalol, and magnesium sulfate on blood pressure control, blood coagulation, and maternal and infant outcome in those suffering from pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH).
Methods: From January 2019 to April 2021, 100 participants with PIH in our center were randomly assigned to a control group and a research group. As a control, nifedipine combined with magnesium sulfate was administered. Nifedipine, labetalol, and magnesium sulfate were administered to the research group. The curative effect, blood pressure level, blood coagulation function, vascular endothelial function, and pregnancy comparisons were made between the two groups.
Results: Based on the results of the study, the effective rate totaled 92.00%, while as for the control group, it was 80.0%, which indicates that there was a statistically significant difference between the effective rates of the research group and that of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( < 0.05). Blood pressure and blood coagulation function did not differ significantly between the two groups before treatment, and the difference was not statistically significant ( > 0.05). After treatment, both groups experienced a significant drop in systolic and diastolic blood pressure. After treatment, a higher PT index was found in the research group than in the control group. Likewise, the Fbg, D-D, and PLT were lower compared to those in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( < 0.05). Neither group had significantly different vascular endothelial function before treatment, and the difference was not statistically significant ( > 0.05). After treatment, the ET-1 of the two groups decreased, and the level of NO increased. There was a lower ET-1 in the research group than in the control group as well as a higher NO level in the research group than in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( < 0.05). Compared with the pregnancy outcome, in comparison to the controls, the research group had a higher vaginal delivery rate. Significantly, fewer cases of fetal distress, intrauterine asphyxia, and placental abruption were reported in the research group than in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( < 0.05).
Conclusion: Nifedipine, in combination with magnesium sulfate and labetalol, is effective at treating PIH, reducing blood pressure, improving blood coagulation, preventing cardiovascular events and vascular endothelial function, and further improve the pregnancy outcome.

Anxiety is known to significantly impair cognitive function, particularly attentional control. While exercise has been demonstrated to alleviate these cognitive deficits, the precise neural mechanisms underlying these effects remain poorly understood. This study examines the effects of exercise on attentional control in individuals with high trait anxiety, based on attentional control theory, which suggests that such individuals have reduced top-down attention.

Background: Human visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is a systemic disease with high case-fatality rates and a widespread distribution. Continuous evaluation of the risk factors for VL is essential to ensure the effective implementation of prevention and control measures. The present study reviews the factors associated with VL in the Americas.

Objective: To investigate the effects of modified twin-block appliances (MTBA) on obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and mandibular retrognathia and the changes in the upper airway, hyoid bone position, and hypoxia-related inflammatory marker levels in children with OSA.
Methods: This study included children with OSA and mandibular retrognathia and those with class I without mandibular retrognathia (n = 35 each). The experimental group comprised children with OSA and mandibular retrognathia managed using MTBA.

Objective: This study examines whether cross-education training of the healthy limb promotes cross-transfer through central nervous system stimulation, enhancing the function, kinematic parameters, dynamic balance, and plantar pressure of the affected knee joint in patients recovering from postoperative anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR).
Methods: Forty anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) patients, 5-6 weeks postoperatively, were included and randomly assigned to either an experimental group (n = 20) or a control group (n = 20). The experimental group participated in six weeks of cross-education (CE) training in addition to conventional rehabilitation, while the control group received only conventional rehabilitation.

Obesity and atherosclerosis are significant metabolic diseases characterized by disrupted lipid metabolism. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small, conserved, non-coding RNA sequences consisting of approximately 22 nucleotides, playing crucial roles in biological and pathological functions. Among these, miR-33a/b is particularly associated with metabolic diseases, notably obesity and atherosclerosis.
