PURPOSE: Recurrence of adhesions after hysteroscopic adhesiolysis is a challenging clinical problem without a unified management approach. Therefore, we conducted a network meta-analysis that considered both direct and indirect comparisons between interventions to identify optimal strategies for preventing recurrence. METHODS: We searched for research trials published up to July 2023 from PubMed, Embase and the Cochrane Database. We selected randomized controlled trials comparing the use of different interventions for the prevention of adhesion recurrence, with no language or regional restrictions...

Used as a veterinary sedative and not approved for human use, xylazine has been increasingly linked with opioid overdose deaths in the United States. A growing number of people have been exposed to xylazine in the illicit opioid supply (especially fentanyl) or in other drugs, particularly in some areas of the Northeast. Xylazine is an α-2 adrenergic agonist that decreases sympathetic nervous system activity. When combined with fentanyl or heroin, it is purported to extend the duration of the opioid's sedative effect and to cause dependence and an associated withdrawal syndrome; however, data to support these concerns are limited...

Duponchelia fovealis (Zeller) (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) is a polyphagous pest that feeds on a variety of ornamental and crop plants. At least 47 plant families have been identified as hosts for D. fovealis in literature based on empirical data and observations. This list is surely incomplete based on the broad feeding habits of D. fovealis. We sought to expand the list of known D. fovealis host plants and to identify species that may be less preferred or not fed upon by D. fovealis. We used laboratory feeding assays to measure D...

BACKGROUND: Spondyloarthritis (SpA) is a chronic inflammatory disorder that affects sacroiliac joints and spine, resulting in substantial disability. Sarcopenia, characterized by the loss of muscle mass and function, is a prevalent comorbidity in various chronic diseases. However, the exact prevalence of sarcopenia in SpA patients remains uncertain. The objective of this study is to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis of the available literature to determine the prevalence of sarcopenia in SpA...

INTRODUCTION: This study focuses on temporomandibular disorders (TMDs), which affect the temporomandibular joint and related muscles and have multiple causes. Recent studies have examined the connection between menstrual cycles, estrogen levels, and TMDs, but results are inconsistent, highlighting the need for more research. The aim is to explore the prevalence of TMDs in pregnant women and consider how hormonal changes during pregnancy might influence these disorders. METHODS: In this cross-sectional case-control study, we compared 32 pregnant women with 35 non-pregnant women...

OBJECTIVES: Pelvic organ prolapse is the descent of one or more reproductive organs from their normal position, causing associated negative symptoms. One conservative treatment option is pessary management. The aim of this study was to investigate the cost-effectiveness of pessary self-management (SM) when compared to clinic-based care (CBC). A decision-analytic model was developed to extend the economic evaluation. METHODS: A randomised controlled trial with health economic evaluation...

OBJECTIVE: Preterm birth (PTB) is one of the most frequent complications of pregnancies in women with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The high indicated PTB proportion due to hypertensive disorders of pregnancy and/or fetal growth restriction is well known, and preventive measures as well as screening for early detection are performed. The risk of spontaneous PTB is less well recognized. The purpose of this study is to determine the proportions of spontaneous and indicated PTB in pregnancies of women with SLE DATA SOURCES: A systematic literature search using Pubmed, Embase, Web of Science and Google Scholar was performed in June 2021 STUDY ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA: Studies in pregnant women with SLE reporting spontaneous and indicated PTB rates were selected...

Enterovirus A71 (EV-A71) infections pose a significant public health concern in the Asia-Pacific region. EV-A71 is primarily responsible for causing hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) in children. However, this virus can also lead to severe and potentially fatal neurological consequences in affected individuals. This review aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the molecular virology, epidemiology, and recombination events associated with EV-A71. The literature extensively covers the clinical manifestations and neurological symptoms that accompany EV-A71 infections...

Nitrogen (N) accumulation in landfills is a pressing environmental concern due to its diverse sources and significant environmental impacts. However, there is relatively limited attention and research focus on N in landfills as it is overshadowed by other more prominent pollutants. This study comprehensively examines the sources of N in landfills, including food waste contributing to 390 million tons of N annually, industrial discharges, and sewage treatment plant effluents. The environmental impacts of N in landfills are primarily manifested in N2 O emissions and leachate with high N concentrations...

Due to the continuous degradation (gradual thawing) of permafrost, supra-permafrost water has become an important component of runoff that occurs in cold regions. However, current research has only focused on the amount of water provided by permafrost, and little has been reported regarding the source and formation mechanisms of supra-permafrost water. Due to the difficulty of observation and sampling in cold regions and insufficient data accumulation, model simulations face various difficulties in regard to solving problems related to hydrological processes...
