Article Abstract
The study was designed to evaluate the modulation of mTOR complex 1 (mTORC1) and IL-6 genes following the use of mirror therapy (MT) and pregabalin in complex regional pain syndrome type-1 patients. Two groups of 20 patients: MT group received MT and pregabalin, control therapy group received pregabalin. Neuropathic pain symptom inventory (NPSI), numeric rating scale - pain, modified motor activity log, SF-12 questionnaire for quality of life and IL-6 and mTORC1 expression were evaluated. Group MT demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in NPSI burning, NPSI allodynia and numeric rating scale pain scores, modified motor activity log and SF-12 scores. Significant downregulation of mTORC1 and IL-6 observed in both. MT is a significant adjunct to pregabalin in improving motor function, quality of life and alleviating pain in complex regional pain syndrome type 1. : CTRI/2019/01/017272 (ClinicalTrials.gov).

Background: Cross-sector collaboration is increasingly recognized as essential for addressing complex health challenges, including those in mental health. Industry-academic partnerships play a vital role in advancing research and developing health solutions, yet differing priorities and perspectives can make collaboration complex.
Objective: This study aimed to identify key principles to support effective industry-academic partnerships, from the perspective of industry partners, and develop this into actionable guidance, which can be applied across sectors.

Background: The high and increasing rate of poor mental health among young people is a matter of global concern. Experiencing poor mental health during this formative stage of life can adversely impact interpersonal relationships, academic and professional performance, and future health and well-being if not addressed early. However, only a few of those in need seek help.

Background: Electronic health records (EHRs) are a cornerstone of modern health care delivery, but their current configuration often fragments information across systems, impeding timely and effective clinical decision-making. In gynecological oncology, where care involves complex, multidisciplinary coordination, these limitations can significantly impact the quality and efficiency of patient management. Few studies have examined how EHR systems support clinical decision-making from the perspective of end users.

Background: Labor shortages in health care pose significant challenges to sustaining high-quality care for people with intellectual disabilities. Social robots show promise in supporting both people with intellectual disabilities and their health care professionals; yet, few are fully developed and embedded in productive care environments. Implementation of such technologies is inherently complex, requiring careful examination of facilitators and barriers influencing sustained use.

Background: Scrub typhus (ST), also known as tsutsugamushi disease, is a common febrile vector-borne illness in South Korea, transmitted by trombiculid mites infected with Orientia tsutsugamushi, with rodents serving as the main hosts. Although vector-borne diseases like ST require both a One Health approach and a spatiotemporal perspective to fully understand their complex dynamics, previous studies have often lacked integrated analyses that simultaneously address disease dynamics, vectors, and environmental shifts.
Objective: We aimed to explore spatiotemporal trends, high-risk areas, and risk factors of ST by simultaneously incorporating host and environmental information.
