Article Abstract

The purpose of this study is to explore how headphones influence balance performance among young females. Given the increasing popularity of headphones among young people, this study aims to investigate their impact on balance, an area that has not been extensively studied. A convenient sample of 30 females between the ages of 18 and 25 years was included in this comparative study. Time Up and Go test and Balance Master System were used to test balance. The study used the Balance Master System to perform the following four tests; modified clinical test of sensory interaction on balance (mCTSIB), rhythmic weight shift, step-up-and-over, sit-to-stand tests. Tests were conducted with and without headphones to listen to music. The results revealed that participants exhibited significantly better balance, indicated by lower sway values for most of the mCTSIB test when listening to auditory content through headphones ( ≤ 0.05). The other balance tests showed no significant differences between the two conditions. These findings align with the existing knowledge about auditory stimuli in balance control and prompt us to consider the potential implications. Listening to music through headphones may significantly impact balance and stability, raising thought-provoking questions for future research and practical applications.

Stabilizing the retromer complex rescues synaptic dysfunction and endosomal trafficking deficits in an Alzheimer's disease mouse model.

Acta Neuropathol Commun

Disruptions in synaptic transmission and plasticity are early hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Endosomal trafficking, mediated by the retromer complex, is essential for intracellular protein sorting, including the regulation of amyloid precursor protein (APP) processing. The VPS35 subunit, a key cargo-recognition component of the retromer, has been implicated in neurodegenerative diseases, with mutations such as L625P linked to early-onset AD.

Introduction: Complex chromosomal rearrangements (CCRs) are frequently associated with infertility and have been described in the literature. Chromoanagenesis corresponds to a group of CCRs with a high number of chromosome breakpoints. These CCRs involving small structural variations can only be identified by using high-resolution genomic techniques.

Objectives: The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of artificial intelligence-assisted segmentation methods in detecting carotid artery calcification (CAC) in panoramic radiographs and to compare the performance of different YOLO models: YOLOv5x-seg, YOLOv8x-seg, and YOLOv11x-seg. Additionally, the study aims to investigate the association between patient gender and the presence of CAC, as part of a broader epidemiological analysis.

Methods: In this study, 30,883 panoramic radiographs were scanned.

Background: Previous studies indicated that over-dissection of lymph nodes might impair the efficacy of immunotherapy. This study aims to explore the prognostic value of ypN + status and the impact of lymph node dissection (LND) on survival after neoadjuvant immunochemotherapy (NICT) for esophageal squamous cell cancer (ESCC).

Methods: This double-center retrospective study enrolled 206 consecutive ESCC patients who underwent NICT followed by esophagectomy between 2018 and 2024.
