Effectiveness of nonpharmacological conservative therapies for chronic pelvic pain in women: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Małgorzata Starzec-Proserpio, Helena Frawley, Kari Bø, Mélanie Morin Abstract: To evaluate the effectiveness of nonpharmacological conservative therapies for women with CPP. All study data were aggregated, and analyses of the included studies were performed. Effects on pain; sexual measures; psychological and physical function; health-related quality of life; symptom severity/bother; pelvic floor muscle function and morphometry; perceived improvement; and

Digital technologies in nursing: An umbrella review

Larissa Schlicht, Johannes Wendsche, Marlen Melzer, Letizia Tschetsche, Ulrike Rösler Abstract: Digital technologies promise to reduce nurses’ workload and increase quality of care. However, considering the plethora of single and review studies published to date, maintaining a comprehensive overview of digital technologies’ impact on nursing and effectively utilizing available evidence is challenging. Objective: This review aims (i) to map published

Nutrition for optimising immune function and recovery from injury in sports

Nada Rotovnik Kozjek, Gašper Tonin, Michael Gleeson Abstract: The immune system, sports injuries, physical activity and clinical sports nutrition are closely linked. Inadequate nutrition and intense stress in athletes increase the risk of immune dysfunction, injury and disease, while injury reduces the positive effects of physical activity, creating a vicious cycle affecting health and performance. Nutritional support

Pharmacy 3D printing

Jessica T Y Cheng, Edwin C K Tan, Lifeng Kang Abstract: A significant limitation of the ‘one size fits all’ medication approach is the lack of consideration for special population groups. 3D printing technology has revolutionised the landscape of pharmaceuticals and pharmacy practice, playing an integral role in enabling on-demand production of customised medication. Compared to traditional

Genomic analysis and immune response in a murine mastitis model of vB_EcoM-UFV13, a potential biocontrol agent for use in dairy cows

Abstract Bovine mastitis remains the main cause of economic losses for dairy farmers. Mammary pathogenic Escherichia coli (MPEC) is related to an acute mastitis and its treatment is still based on the use of antibiotics. In the era of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), bacterial viruses (bacteriophages) present as an efficient treatment or prophylactic option. However, this makes it

Detection of inflammasome activation in liver tissue during the donation process as potential biomarker for liver transplantation

Abstract Deceased donor liver transplantation (LT) is a crucial lifesaving option for patients with end-stage liver diseases. Although donation after brain death (DBD) remains the main source of donated organs, exploration of donation after circulatory death (DCD) addresses donor scarcity but introduces challenges due to warm ischemia. While technical advances have improved outcomes, challenges persist,

Enhancing mucosal immunity by transient microbiota depletion

Abstract Tissue resident memory CD8+ T cells (Trm) are poised for immediate reactivation at sites of pathogen entry and provide optimal protection of mucosal surfaces. The intestinal tract represents a portal of entry for many infectious agents; however, to date specific strategies to enhance Trm responses at this site are lacking. Here, we present TMDI (Transient

Association between plausible genetic factors and weight loss from GLP1-RA and bariatric surgery

Abstract Obesity is a major public health challenge. Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP1-RA) and bariatric surgery (BS) are effective weight loss interventions; however, the genetic factors influencing treatment response remain largely unexplored. Moreover, most previous studies have focused on race and ethnicity rather than genetic ancestry. Here we analyzed 10,960 individuals from 9 multiancestry biobank
