Hidden hypertension and early cardiac alterations: insights from ambulatory blood pressure monitoring in children and adolescents

Abstract Background Hypertension is increasingly recognized as a significant health concern among children and adolescents, often associated with obesity and lifestyle choices. Early-onset hypertension can elevate the risk of cardiovascular diseases in adulthood, making early det...

Dose-dependent microbiome, metabolome and lipidome shifts in a mouse model of colitis-associated colorectal cancer using azoxymethane and dextran sodium sulphate

Colorectal cancer (CRC) remains a major health burden, underscoring the need for continued research to improve screening methods and treatment outcomes. The colitis-associated azoxymethane (AOM) and dextran sodium sulphate (DSS) mouse model has proven valuable for CRC research, a...

Solar-powered electromagnetic conditioning of saline groundwater: an exploratory assessment of ionic composition and soil-extract salinity

Saline groundwater is a difficult irrigation source in arid and off-grid areas, but a conditioning device must not be described as a desalination process unless net salt removal is demonstrated. This exploratory pilot assessment examined a photovoltaic-powered electromagnetic coi...

A machine learning approach to predict treatment response in myofascial pain patients receiving masseter trigger point injections

BACKGROUND: Trigger point injection (TPI) therapy is widely used for masseter myofascial pain syndrome (MPS), yet outcomes vary substantially. Individualized prediction tools are lacking, often leading to trial-and-error treatment selection. OBJECTIVE: To develop, externally vali...
