Background: Round shoulder posture (RSP), characterized by forward shoulder positioning from weakened and tense muscles, disrupts normal biomechanics and can cause Subacromial impingement syndrome (SIS), resulting in pain during specific movements or positions. This study examines the immediate effects of Kinesio taping (KT) on pain, proprioception, and posture in individuals in round shoulder individuals with SIS.

Methods: The study involved 114 patients diagnosed with RSP and SIS.

The Effects of Different Treatments on Serum Trace Element Levels in Dogs with Heart Failure.

Animals (Basel)

November 2024

Department of Internal Medicine, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Istanbul University-Cerrahpasa, Istanbul 34320, Turkey.

Article Synopsis
  • * A total of 107 dogs were divided into treatment groups, and the serum levels of several trace elements, including magnesium and iron, were measured using advanced spectroscopy techniques.
  • * Results showed significant changes in serum magnesium and iron levels with longer treatment durations, indicating that the use of these heart medications could affect trace element levels in dogs with heart failure.

Introduction: Os odontoideum (OO) is a rare anatomic variant of the axis characterized by the separation of a part of the axis. It may cause cervical instability, atlantoaxial dislocation, myelopathy, or permanent paralysis. We present an extremely rare case of an OO with posterior atlantoaxial dislocation in a child.

Article Synopsis
  • This study compared outcomes of emergency versus planned cesarean sections for pregnancies complicated by placenta previa (PP), including subgroups with and without placenta accreta spectrum (PAS).
  • The research analyzed 128 patients and found that emergency cesarean sections resulted in poorer neonatal outcomes and a higher rate of hysterectomy compared to planned cesarean sections.
  • The authors recommend considering planned delivery strategies for patients with PP to achieve better obstetric, neonatal, and surgical outcomes, emphasizing the need to weigh maternal and fetal risks.

Objectives: To determine the effects of hyperandrogenemia and other phenotypic parameters on endometrial vitamin D receptor (VDR-X2 and VDR-X4) expression in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) undergoing ovarian stimulation and total embryo freezing.

Methods: Forty-four PCOS patients were divided into four phenotypes according to the criteria for hyperandrogenemia (HA), ovulatory dysfunction (OD), and polycystic ovary morphology (PCOM): phenotype A (HA+OD+PCOM), phenotype B (HA+OD), phenotype C (HA+PCOM), and phenotype D (OD+PCOM). Endometrial VDR expression was determined by real-time PCR and immunohistochemistry.

Purpose: This study aimed to examine the anatomical variations and morphometric characteristics of the sulci in the dural venous sinuses within the intracranial cavity, with a particular focus on sex differences and asymmetry.

Methods: Thirty fixed cadaveric heads were used to measure the dimensions (length, width, and depth) and spatial relationships of the dural venous sinus sulci within the intracranial cavity, including the distance to the midline, distance to each other, and lateral margin of the skull. Comparisons were made between sexes and sides of the body.

Article Synopsis
  • TNF inhibitor (TNFi) therapy is used for autoimmune diseases like ankylosing spondylitis and rheumatoid arthritis but can lead to drug-induced lupus (DIL), though this is rare.
  • DIL from TNFi usually presents with mild symptoms, and most patients show anti-double-stranded DNA positivity without severe complications, meaning major organ involvement is uncommon.
  • Management strategies differ; some patients can remain on TNFi therapy, while others need different treatments, indicating a need for more research to enhance treatment protocols and patient outcomes.
