Lung Tumors Marked Percutaneously with Indocyanine Green Dye-Soaked Embolization Coils: A Visual Beacon for Accurate Intraoperative Localization during Lung Sparing Surgery.

Thoracic surgeons utilizing minimally invasive techniques for lung nodule resection often rely on localization markers to determine precise nodule location intraoperatively. Transbronchial or transthoracic injection of indocyanine green (ICG) dye has become a popular technique. However, surgery must be performed immediately as dye will dissipate to surrounding tissue.

Assessment of skeletal muscle deformability during clinical paralysis in EAE, a mouse model of multiple sclerosis.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) and its mouse model, experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), are neurodegenerative diseases associated with inflammation and demyelination of the central nervous system, often leading to severe motor deficits, including progressive paralysis and spasticity. Although the neurological aspects of MS and EAE are widely described, the influence of disease progression on skeletal muscle structure and mechanics remains a largely unexplored field. In the present study, we assessed skeletal muscle deformability during EAE-induced paralysis using atomic force microscopy (AFM), histological examination, and analysis of dystrophin and laminin expression in relation to EAE disease severity.

Effects of diamond nanoparticle surface composition and the sp/sp carbon ratio on tumor proangiogenic potential in vitro.

The high proangiogenic potential of tumors is often associated with poor prognosis due to increased invasiveness and malignancy. Diamond nanoparticles (NDs) are considered a promising anti-tumor agent with anti-angiogenic properties; however, their activity is strictly connected with their physicochemical parameters and surface chemical composition. One of the main factors characterizing detonation NDs is the sp surface carbon content, which can determine the character of nanoparticle-cell interaction.

Exploring the Interplay Between Physical Activity and Idiopathic Tinnitus Management: A Scoping Review on Severity Modulation and Perceptual Outcomes.

Unlabelled: Tinnitus, a condition characterized by the perception of ringing or buzzing in the ears, affects millions of individuals worldwide, often leading to significant distress, impaired quality of life, and mental health concerns. Despite the widespread nature of tinnitus, effective treatment strategies remain limited, with few established guidelines for management. Recent studies suggest that Physical Activity may play a role in modulating tinnitus severity and perception, providing potential relief for sufferers.

Beyond virus: Systematic review and meta-analysis on Impact of physical exercises on chikungunya sequelae of pain to functional restoration.

Background Objectives: Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) infection often results in persistent sequelae, including chronic pain and functional limitations, significantly impacting quality of life. Physical exercise is a potential intervention, but its efficacy remains unclear. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the impact of physical exercises on chikungunya sequelae, focusing on pain reduction and functional restoration.
