Understanding the Research Needs and Educational Methods of Surgeons to Help Guide Future Spine Deformity Research: A Survey of AO Spine Members

Study Design Cross-sectional survey. Objective Outcomes research has significantly shaped patient management in spine deformity care, while the dissemination of research remains a challenge. To guide future research directions, this study surveyed AO Spine members to identify the...

ACUTE EFFECTS OF FOAM ROLLING AND PNF STRETCHING AS WARM-UP STRATEGIES ON MUSCLE FLEXIBILITY, STRENGTH, AND PRESSURE PAIN THRESHOLD IN AMATEUR ATHLETES

Objective: This study aimed to compare the acute effects of foam rolling (FR) and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) stretching on hamstring flexibility, isometric knee flexion strength, vertical jump performance, and pressure pain threshold (PPT) in amateur athletes...

Transcriptional Regulation of Receptor-Mediated Mitophagy in Sunitinib-Resistant Renal Cancer Cells: Response to Succinic Acid

Background/Objectives: Drug resistance is a major challenge in cancer therapy, and mitochondria contribute to this process by controlling both metabolic adaptability and cell survival signaling. Mitophagy, the selective lysosomal removal of dysfunctional mitochondria, has been im...

Multiple ipsilateral recurrences of vestibular neuritis: longitudinal vestibular findings

OBJECTIVE: Recurrent vestibular neuritis (RVN) is a rare peripheral vestibular disease whose clinical course remains poorly understood. This study aimed to examine temporal changes in vestibular findings in a patient with multiple RVN attacks and to evaluate the effects of vestib...

Quality of Life Outcomes in Patients with Pulmonary Hypertension Receiving Prostacyclin Therapy: Impact of Anxiety, Depression, Sociodemographic Characteristics, and Treatment-Related Factors

OBJECTIVE: Despite advances in prostacyclin therapy, pulmonary hypertension (PH) continues to impair patients' quality of life (QoL). This study aimed to identify the clinical and psychological factors associated with QoL in patients receiving prostacyclin therapy. METHOD: This c...

Effectiveness of Movement Representation Techniques in Chronic Non-Specific Spinal Pain: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Background and Objectives: Movement representation techniques (MRTs), including motor imagery and mirror therapy, have been investigated in several chronic pain conditions; however, their effectiveness in chronic non-specific spinal pain (CNSP) has not been specifically synthesiz...

Wearable Assessment of Dynamic Trunk Sway Reveals Directional Balance Adaptations During Sling-Assisted Walking After Stroke

Background: Quantitative assessment of dynamic balance remains challenging in clinical practice. Wearable inertial measurement unit (IMU)-based technologies offer an objective and accessible approach for monitoring postural control. This study aimed to develop and preliminarily v...

TRAIL PLGA/Gelucire 48/16 and exosome carrier systems enhance anti-tumor efficacy by enabling autophagic motility

Tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) is a potent anticancer protein that selectively reduces the viability of malignant cells but is limited clinically by its short half-life. This study developed novel TRAIL-loaded drug carrier systems to prolong its m...

Affective Organizational Commitment Links Job Satisfaction to Quiet Quitting in Healthcare Workers: The Amplifying Role of Career Engagement

Background/Objectives: This study examined the relationships among job satisfaction, affective organizational commitment, career engagement, and quiet quitting in healthcare workers. Specifically, we tested a moderated mediation model in which affective organizational commitment...
