Background: Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is a prevalent degenerative joint disorder that significantly impairs physical function and daily activities. While conventional treatments focus on symptom management, complementary therapies such as aromatherapy massage have gained attention for their potential benefits.
Objective: This study evaluates the effects of peppermint oil aromatherapy massage on functional impairments in KOA patients.

Background: Several studies have investigated the risk of complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) and its prevention with vitamin C. However, evidence regarding the effectiveness of vitamin C for prevention of CRPS development or recurrence after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is lacking.
Methods: This retrospective single-center observational cohort study, which utilized propensity-score matching (PSM), was conducted from January 2017 to December 2021.

Background And Objectives: Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is recognized as a major cause of wintertime illness in children. Two forms of immunization to protect infants against severe infection have recently been approved. Information on the effects of infections on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) supports well-informed policy decisions.

This study investigated the correlation between the strength of correlated effective neural drive (END) to the antagonistic muscles and the fluctuations in neural/electrical and mechanical output around the joint during steady co-contraction, and whether the correlated END strength estimated from conventional surface EMG is correlated with that determined from motor unit (MU) discharges. Fourteen young male participants performed isometric steady co-contractions with their medial gastrocnemius and tibialis anterior muscles at 10% of maximal EMG while sitting. Correlated END strength was quantified as the maximum value of the cross-correlation function between the conventional surface EMG signals and between MU discharges decomposed from high-density surface EMG of each muscle.

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a serious inflammatory bowel disease with a significantly increasing incidence globally. Current treatment options often exhibit unstable efficacy and notable side effects, making the exploration of alternative therapies particularly important. Peucedanum praeruptorum Dunn, a traditional Chinese medicine, contains various bioactive compounds, among which praeruptorin A (PA) has garnered attention for its anti-inflammatory potential.
