Vestibular Physical Therapy (VPT) plays a crucial role in the rehabilitation of patients with vestibular disorders by promoting vestibular compensation through adaptation, habituation, and substitution mechanisms. While traditional VPT approaches have demonstrated effectiveness in restoring balance and gaze stability, some patients with chronic vestibular dysfunction continue to experience persistent deficits. review of recent advancements in neuroplasticity research suggest the need for updated rehabilitation strategies that integrate sensorimotor substitution, saccadic training, optokinetic stimulation, and cognitive-motor dual-task training to optimize vestibular compensation.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a clinical syndrome that presents as airflow limitation with poor reversibility accompanied by dynamic hyperinflation of the lung. It is a complex disease with chronic inflammatory airway changes caused by exposure to noxious particles or gases, such as cigarette smoke. The disease involves persistent inflammation and oxidative stress, perpetuated by frequent exacerbations.

Cocaine use is a rising global concern, and increased use is accompanied by a significant increase in people entering treatment for the first time. However, there are still no complete therapies, and preclinical tools are necessary to both understand the action of cocaine and mitigate for its effects. Cocaine exposure rapidly impacts cellular and mitochondrial health, leading to oxidative stress.

Titanium is widely recognized for its biocompatibility and utility in maxillofacial and orthopedic surgery; however, its influence on bone remodeling biomarkers remains underexplored. This study investigates the effects of uncoated titanium plates on both the growth factors and diacylglycerols (DAGs) in the periostea of the maxilla and mandible, as DAG signaling is an essential secondary messenger molecule involved in intracellular signaling connected to various growth factors. The study group comprised 20 patients undergoing bimaxillary osteotomies using miniplates and screws made of Ti6Al4V titanium, from whom bone fixations were removed, while the control group included 20 patients operated on for dentofacial deformities (before the insertion of titanium fixations).

BCR-ABL1 kinase is a critical driver of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) pathophysiology. The approval of allosteric inhibitor asciminib brings new hope for overcoming drug resistance caused by mutations in the ATP-binding site. To expand the chemical diversity of BCR-ABL1 kinase inhibitors with positive anti-tumor effect with asciminib, structure-based virtual screening and molecular dynamics simulations were employed to discover novel scaffolds.
