AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
D-Penicillamine (5 mg/kg), prednisolone (0.5 mg/kg), tolfenamic acid and thiabendazole (10 mg/kg) were chronically administered to male and female mice of MRL/1 strain. The treatment was started either at 4 weeks of age (prophylactic dosing) or at 12 weeks of age (therapeutic dosing) and continued until the termination at 24 weeks of age. In male mice all the drugs caused a significant retardation in IgM-RF formation with one of the dosing regimes. D-Penicillamine and prednisolone also had an inhibitory effect on lymph node enlargement. In female mice, however, only thiabendazole retarded the RF activity significantly. None of the drugs had any marked effect on anti-ssDNA antibody formation, and none of the treatments affected the development of renal disease or modified the survival of these mice.

ASD Luiss SportLab, Rome, Italy.
Background: Assessing player readiness is crucial in elite basketball. This study aims to provide a practical method for monitoring player readiness through the handgrip test and identify associations with wellness scales.
Methods: Fifteen players (age: 25.
Objectives: This report describes changes in total, early, and late fetal mortality between 2022 and 2023 (provisional), as well as fetal mortality by maternal race and Hispanic origin and state of residence. Comparisons are made with findings from 2021 to 2022.
Methods: Data are based on reports of fetal death filed in the 50 states and the District of Columbia and collected via the National Vital Statistics System.
Prevalence of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in Canada during the COVID-19 pandemic: results from the Survey on COVID-19 and Mental Health.

January 2025
Department of Psychology, University of Regina, Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada.
Introduction: This study provides a descriptive overview of the prevalence of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in Canada, across sociodemographic characteristics, mental health-related variables and negative impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Methods: Data were obtained from cycles 1 and 2 of the Survey on COVID-19 and Mental Health (SCMH), collected in fall 2020 (N = 14 689) and spring 2021 (N = 8032). The prevalence of PTSD was measured using the PTSD Checklist for DSM-5 (PCL-5) Cross-sectional associations were quantified using logistic regression, while controlling for sociodemographic characteristics.
Risk Factors and Pharmacological Interventions Impacting Cerebrovascular Ischemic Events in Giant Cell Arteritis: A Narrative Review.
Immun Inflamm Dis
January 2025
Faculty of Medicine, Alzaiem Alazhari University, Khartoum, Sudan.
Introduction: Giant cell arteritis (GCA) is a common vasculitis predominantly affecting larger vessels, especially in individuals aged 70-79. Cerebrovascular ischemic events (CIE), such as stroke and transient ischemic attacks, are serious but rare complications of GCA, with a pooled prevalence of 4%. Some studies found that within 2 weeks of GCA diagnosis, 74% and 34% of patients experience transient or severe ischemic events, respectively.

Exp Physiol

Department for Automatics, Biocybernetics and Robotics, Jožef Stefan Institute, Ljubljana, Slovenia.
The physiological sequelae of pre-term birth might influence the responses of this population to hypoxia. Moreover, identifying variables associated with development of acute mountain sickness (AMS) remains a key practically significant area of altitude research. We investigated the effects of pre-term birth on nocturnal oxygen saturation ( ) dynamics and assessed the predictive potential of nocturnal -related metrics for morning AMS in 12 healthy adults with gestational age < 32 weeks (pre-term) and 12 term-born control participants.
