OBJECTIVE: To develop a follow-up algorithm for urinary stone patients after definitive treatment. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The panel performed a systematic review on follow-up of urinary stone patients after treatment (PROSPERO: CRD42020205739). Given the lack of comparative studies we critically evaluated the literature and reached a consensus on the follow-up scheme. RESULTS: A total of 76 studies were included in the analysis, including 17 RCTs...

BACKGROUND: Postural instability and gait disorder dominant (PIGD) is one of the most common disabling symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD), which seriously affects patients' quality of life. Therefore, it is essential to identify PIGD and develop targeted interventions to reduce the risk of PIGD in PD patients. AIM: This study aimed to investigate the gait characteristics of PD patients based on wearable devices and to establish a predictive model for their related influencing factors...

BACKGROUND/AIM: In precursor B-cell lineage acute lymphoblastic leukemia (BCP-ALL), leukemic cells harbor genetic abnormalities that play an important role in the diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment. A subgroup of BCP-ALL is characterized by the presence of a Philadelphia (Ph) chromosome and a chimeric BCR::ABL1 gene, whereas in another subgroup, leukemic cells exhibit near-haploidy with chromosome number 24-30. This study presents the third documented case of BCP-ALL in which a near haploid clone concurrently displayed a Ph chromosome/BCR::ABL1...

BACKGROUND: Lower limb muscle weakness and reduced balance due to disease progression in multiple sclerosis (MS) may make robust aerobic exercise difficult. Functional electrical stimulation (FES) cycling combined with voluntary cycling may allow people with severe MS to enhance the intensity of aerobic exercise. The aim of this study was to investigate the cardiorespiratory, power, and participant-reported perceptions during acute bouts of FES cycling, voluntary cycling, and FES cycling combined with voluntary cycling (FES assist cycling)...

This study aimed to provide reference values for anthropometric characteristics of elite male and female soccer players, considering a group of individuals from the general population as controls. The anthropometric profiles of 357 elite soccer players [184 males (age 24.3 ± 4.3 y) and 173 females (age 25.2 ± 5.1 y)] participating in the first Italian league (Serie A) and 363 subjects from the general population [188 males (age 24.2 ± 4.8 y) and 175 females (age 25.0 ± 5.1 y)] were measured according to the guidelines of the International Society for the Advancement of Kinanthropometry (ISAK)...

The reflexive responses to resist external forces and maintain posture result from the coordination between the vestibular system, muscle, tendon, and joint proprioceptors, and vision. Aging deteriorates these crucial functions, increasing the risk of falls. This study aimed to verify whether a training program with water bags, an Instability Neuromuscular training (INT) using the inertial load of water, could positively impact balance ability and dynamic stability. This study was conducted with twenty-two healthy older women aged ≥ 65 (mean age: 74...

Oxygen (O2) is required for aerobic energy metabolism but can produce reactive oxygen species (ROS), which are a wide variety of oxidant molecules with a range of biological functions from causing cell damage (oxidative distress) to cell signalling (oxidative eustress). The balance between the rate and amount of ROS generated and the capacity for scavenging systems to remove them is affected by several biological and environmental factors, including oxygen availability. Ectotherms, and in particular hypoxia-tolerant ectotherms, are hypothesized to avoid oxidative damage caused by hypoxia, although it is unclear whether this translates to an increase in ecological fitness...

BMAL2 (ARNTL2) is a paralog of BMAL1 that can form heterodimers with the other circadian factors CLOCK and NPAS2 to activate transcription of clock and clock-controlled genes. To assess a possible role of Bmal2 in the circadian regulation of metabolism, we investigated daily variations of energy metabolism, feeding behavior, and locomotor behavior, as well as ability to anticipate restricted food access in male mice knock-out for Bmal2 (B2KO). While their amount of food intake and locomotor activity were normal compared to wild-type mice, B2KO mice displayed increased adiposity (1...

Hard X-ray absorption spectroscopy is a valuable in situ probe for non-destructive diagnostics of metal sites. The low-energy interval of a spectrum (XANES) contains information about the metal oxidation state, ligand type, symmetry and distances in the first coordination shell but shows almost no dependency on the bridged metal-metal bond length. The higher-energy interval (EXAFS), on the contrary, is more sensitive to the coordination numbers and can decouple the contribution from distances in different coordination shells...

Increased levels of lactate, an end-product of glycolysis, have been proposed as a potential surrogate marker for metabolic changes during neuronal excitation. These changes in lactate levels can result in decreased brain pH, which has been implicated in patients with various neuropsychiatric disorders. We previously demonstrated that such alterations are commonly observed in five mouse models of schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and autism, suggesting a shared endophenotype among these disorders rather than mere artifacts due to medications or agonal state...

Turner syndrome (TS) patients with Y chromosome material face an increased risk of gonadal germ cell tumors (GCTs). This case report discusses the challenges in decision-making regarding prophylactic gonadectomy, considering the risk of malignancy and the desire to preserve fertility. We report a case of a 12-year-old female with mosaic TS and Y chromosome material who initially presented with short stature and obesity. Karyotype analysis showed a mixed cell line (45X and 46XY). Counseling about the increased risk of developing GCT and preservation of gonadal function was provided, and we decided to delay gonadectomy until the age of 12...

BACKGROUND:  It has already been demonstrated by previous studies that Baduanjin training can improve the body's balance. However, its biomechanical mechanism remains unknown. Center of gravity (COG) trajectory analysis is an essential biomechanical test to explore the balance ability of the human body. Previous studies have not used the COG trajectory analysis technique to research Baduanjin training. The study utilizes COG trajectory analysis to analyze the trajectory of COG during Baduanjin training and compare it with that of walking, which is a common exercise for improving balance and aerobic ability, to determine if Baduanjin exercises affect the COG more than walking...

BACKGROUND: Klebsiella pneumoniae has become one of the major threats to public health as it causes nosocomial and community-acquired infections like lobar pneumonia. This infection causes acute inflammation in the lung, characterized by the recruitment of polymorphonuclear cells, generating free radicals, and decreasing the endogenous antioxidant balance system. Many experimental studies have focused on the induction, progression and resolution of infection up to its peak, but these documented processes remain highly random and their sex dependence un-elicited...

OBJECTIVES: Responsive neurostimulation (RNS) is an established therapy for drug-resistant epilepsy that delivers direct electrical brain stimulation in response to detected epileptiform activity. However, despite an overall reduction in seizure frequency, clinical outcomes are variable, and few patients become seizure-free. The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate aperiodic electrophysiological activity, associated with excitation/inhibition balance, as a novel electrographic biomarker of seizure reduction to aid early prognostication of the clinical response to RNS...

Balancing part-time work and studies has become commonplace for university students in Canada and other countries where the costs of education have risen over time. While there is a substantial literature on the impacts of term-time work on studies, little has been written about campus employment programs, which are becoming more commonplace in North American universities. This paper addresses this gap by considering students' experiences in such a program at a western Canadian university. Focusing primarily on qualitative data from a longitudinal study, we examine the various reasons for the attractiveness of this program, which go beyond the promise of professional, career-related work experience...
