Pharmacokinetics of propranolol (P), 4-hydroxy-propranolol sulfate (4HOP-Sulf), and glucoronides of pharmacologically active S-enantiomer P (S-PG) and ballast R-enantiomer of P (R-PG) in the blood serum of 21 patients with chronic ischemic heart disease and/or arterial hypertension has been studied at a single and course oral P administration. The values od AUC and T1/2 for potentially active 4HOP-Sulf were significantly higher than those for unchanged P at a single and course administration. The values od AUC and T1/2 for for S-PG were approximately three times higher than those for P-PG after both a single and course administration. Thus the results presented show that potentially active 4HOP-Sulf and S-PG (which undergoes a partial deconjugation in an organism at oral administration) may contribute essentially to the value and duration of the P pharmacological effect.

Integrating genomic, hyperspectral imaging (HSI), and environmental data enhances wheat yield predictions, with HSI providing detailed spectral insights for predicting complex grain yield (GY) traits. Incorporating HSI data with single nucleotide polymorphic markers (SNPs) resulted in a substantial improvement in predictive ability compared to the conventional genomic prediction models. Over the course of several years, the prediction ability varied due to diverse weather conditions.

Background And Objectives: Reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome (RCVS) is a rare cause of stroke characterized by headache, seizures, focal deficits, or encephalopathy. Very little is known about this rare condition from the Indian subcontinent. Here, we present the clinical and imaging characteristics and short-term outcomes of RCVS patients from South India.

Background: While several studies have reported on outcomes of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in patients with single ventricle physiology, few studies have described outcomes of extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) in this unique population. The objective of this study was to determine survival and risk factors for mortality after ECPR in single ventricle patients prior to superior cavopulmonary anastomosis, using a large sample from the Extracorporeal Life Support Organization (ELSO) Registry.
Methods: We included single ventricle patients who underwent ECPR for in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) between January 2012 and December 2021.

Background: To overcome the challenge of psychotherapist scarcity in applying pain psychotherapy in clinical practice, we developed a virtual reality (VR) program delivering weeks of pain psychotherapy without psychotherapists, with a focus on minimizing the risk of motion sickness.
Objectives: We conducted a single-arm pilot study to assess the efficacy and motion sickness associated with a VR session delivering guided imagery and breathing techniques selected from the initial course of our VR program, involving patients suffering from various acute and chronic pain.
Methods: Patients underwent a 15-min VR session.

Purpose: To evaluate whether cumulative impact load and serum biomarkers are related to lower-extremity injury and to determine any impact load and cartilage biomarker relationships in collegiate female basketball athletes.
Methods: This was a prospective longitudinal study evaluating lower-extremity impact load, serum cartilage biomarkers, and injury incidence over the course of a single collegiate women's basketball season. Data were collected from August 2022 to April 2023; no other follow-up after the cessation of the season was conducted in this cohort.
