Evaluation of the quality of life in patients with segmental dystonia by Basurović Nataša, Svetel Marina, Pekmezović Tatjana, Kostić Vladimir S.

“…Segmental dystonia is an abnormal movement, characterized by involuntary, sustained and repetitive muscular contractions, causing twisting and abnormal posturing of two or more adjacent body parts. It is not a life-reducing condition, but it deteriorates physical, mental and social functioning. …”

Pathogenic aspects of fructose consumption in metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD): A narrative review by Katharina Burger, Michael Trauner, Ina Bergheim

“…Results of more recent experimental studies suggest that an elevated intake of fructose may also affect gut microbiota composition, alter small intestinal morphology and impair intestinal barrier function subsequently leading to an increased translocation of pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) into the portal circulation. …”

Improved estimates for extinction probabilities and times to extinction for populations of tsetse (Glossina spp) by Damian, Kajunguri, Elisha B., Are, John W., Hargrove

“…We provide these proofs, together with a more compact way of reaching the same results. We also show that, while the published equations hold good for the case where tsetse produce male and female offspring in equal proportion, a different solution is required for the more general case where the probability (β) that an offspring is female lies anywhere in the interval (0, 1). …”

Extended Framework for Preventive Maintenance Planning: Risk and Behaviour Analysis of a Proposed Optimization Model by Pablo Viveros, Marco Espinoza, Rodrigo Mena, Fredy Kristjanpoller

“…The proposed optimization model is formulated under a mixed integer linear programming (MILP) paradigm and its objective function seeks to minimize the unavailability of the system associated with the execution times of the activities developed, generating different experimental cases, and varying the start time scheduling under a tolerance factor from 0% up to a maximum of 25% for advance or delay. …”

Complex Synchronization Dynamics of Electronic Oscillators–Part I: A Time-Domain Approach via Phase-Amplitude Reduced Models by Konstantinos Metaxas, Paul P. Sotiriadis, Yannis Kominis

“…The influence of global isochron geometry on the map validates their critical role in phase locking, extending previous results in the theory of electronic oscillators. For more general forcing scenarios, the full Phase-Amplitude reduction effectively describes the synchronization dynamics. …”

The comparative effects of injecting intra-articular platelet-rich plasma and hypertonic dextrose prolotherapy in osteoarthritis knee - A randomized control trial by Neeraj Singh, Anil K. Gupta, Dileep Kumar, Sudhir Mishra, Ganesh Yadav, Shreya Singh

“…Result: Overall, the baseline to 6 weeks change of LKI-Pain in group I (PRP) was significantly more than the group II (DEXTROSE) (P < 0.001). On considering the parameter of LKI-Pain at baseline and 6 weeks for PRP and Dextrose, it was found that in Group I, the mean ± SD reduced more at 6 weeks from 4.81 ± 1.55 to 2.44 ± 1.76 as compared to participants in Group II with 4.83 ± 1.17 at baseline to 6 weeks 3.64 ± 0.98, LKI-Activities of Daily Living (ADL) for group I PRP the Mean ± SD score dropped more from 4.66 ± 1.40 to 2.95 ± 1.35 whereas for group II Dextrose the Mean ± SD score dropped from 4.68 ± 1.40 to 3.65 ± 1.51 at baseline and 6 week respectively and At baseline, the mean LKI-Total score in group I was 12.85 ± 3.59 while in group II the mean score was 13.11 ± 3.15. …”
