Pelvic magnetic stimulation added to pelvic-floor muscle training for female vaginal laxity: a randomized controlled trial

To evaluate the short-term efficacy of pelvic magnetic stimulation combined with pelvic floor rehabilitation training (Intervention) versus isolated pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) among women diagnosed with vaginal laxity (Population). The Vaginal Laxity Questionnaire (VLQ)...

One-Tube Nested MGB Probes Real-Time PCR Assay for Detecting Echinococcus multilocularis Eggs

Echinococcus multilocularis is a zoonotic cestode capable of causing disease in humans and animals. Its eggs are released into the environment via the feces of definitive hosts and are the direct infectious source of human alveolar echinococcosis. Therefore, sensitive and species...

Polysaccharide-Based Biomaterials in Oral Regenerative Medicine: Mechanisms, Engineering Strategies, and Translational Perspectives

Oral regenerative medicine seeks to repair or regenerate the pulp-dentin complex, periodontal tissues, jawbone, and oral mucosa. Nevertheless, this field confronts considerable challenges, including the intricate oral microenvironment, the body’s limited intrinsic regenerative ca...

Development of a symptom cluster scale for breast cancer patients undergoing adjuvant chemotherapy based on the Chinese population: a Delphi-based study

Breast cancer is the most common malignancy among women in China.Postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy can reduce the risk of recurrence, but it can also give rise to complex symptom clusters that significantly affect patients’ quality of life and treatment adherence. Currently, sp...

Triple primary cancer with concurrent detection of two tumor components in a lung biopsy specimen: a case report

Multiple primary cancers (MPCs) are uncommon, and triple primary cancers are particularly rare. Their diagnosis and treatment are challenging because they can be mistaken for recurrence or distant metastasis, resulting in missed or incorrect diagnoses. A 70-year-old Chinese man u...

Longitudinal associations between cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic stage and cognitive trajectories among middle-aged and older Chinese adults

Cardiovascular–kidney–metabolic (CKM) dysfunction and cognitive decline frequently coexist, but the temporal direction and potential biomarker pathways linking stage-based CKM burden to cognitive change remain uncertain. We analysed 5547 adults aged 45 years or older from the 201...

Clinical applications of selected liquid biopsy biomarkers in pancreatic cancer with a focus on ctDNA CTCs and exosome derived biomarkers

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) remains a major clinical challenge because reliable biomarkers for early detection, risk stratification, and treatment monitoring are still limited. Liquid biopsy has emerged as a promising complementary approach that enables minimally inva...

Resolution of severe autoimmune hemolytic anemia and thrombocytopenia associated with Plasmodium vivax malaria without corticosteroid therapy: A case report

Rationale: Autoimmune hemolytic anemia is a rare but potentially life-threatening complication of Plasmodium vivax malaria. Most reported cases required corticosteroid therapy in addition to antimalarial treatment. Patient concerns: We report the case of a 28-year-old Ethiopian m...
