Ultrasound for diagnosing paediatric intestinal malrotation and midgut volvulus: a retrospective study in a single-centre high-suspicion cohort.

Background Intestinal malrotation (IM) is a critical, surgery-requiring condition in children, potentially leading to life-threatening midgut volvulus. Prompt and accurate diagnosis is essential to prevent catastrophic outcomes. While the upper gastrointestinal series (UGI) has been a traditional diagnostic tool, ultrasonography (US) offers a nonradiation-based alternative. Objective To evaluate the diagnostic value of ultrasound (US) in detecting IM and midgut volvulus in a high-clinical-sus...

Multimodal integration of carotid plaque ultrasound radiomics and dynamic systemic immune-inflammation trajectories for subacute risk stratification after stroke thrombectomy: development and internal validation of an exploratory prognostic model.

Background We hypothesized that integrating macroscopic carotid plaque architecture, quantified via ultrasound radiomics, with downstream micro-cellular temporal dynamics, defined by longitudinal immune trajectories, would yield a highly accurate prognostic framework for 90-day functional outcomes in patients undergoing endovascular thrombectomy (EVT). Methods This single-center, retrospective cohort study consecutively included 316 AIS-LVO patients who underwent successful EVT (modified Thro...

Applications and mechanisms of therapeutic ultrasound in skin repair and regeneration.

Ultrasound modulates cellular and tissue processes underlying skin repair and regeneration via thermal and mechanical effects, including cavitation, and can act as an external trigger to facilitate transdermal delivery or activate ultrasound-responsive materials. This review summarizes the acoustic fundamentals and Mechanotransduction pathways of different types of ultrasounds, as well as research advances in wound healing, pathological scar intervention, skin tissue remodeling, skin appendage r...

A study on the diagnostic value of ultrasound combined with serum MK and TSP-1 in diagnosing placental abruption.

Objective To explore the clinical value of combined detection of Midkine (MK) and thrombospondin-1 (TSP-1) in serum with ultrasound in the diagnosis of placental abruption. Methods A total of 138 pregnant women with suspected placental abruption during antenatal check-ups at Shandong Provincial Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital Affiliated to Qingdao University from July 2022 to July 2025 were enrolled. They were divided into a placental abruption group (n = 88) and a non-placental abrup...

Comparative efficacy of time-restricted eating combined with different exercise modalities for improving body composition, metabolic health, and physical performance in adults: a systematic review and fat-mass network meta-analysis.

Background Time-restricted eating (TRE) is commonly combined with exercise, but the relative effects of different exercise modalities remain uncertain. Objective To compare usual diet or control, TRE alone, exercise alone, TRE plus aerobic exercise, TRE plus resistance training, TRE plus high-intensity interval training (HIIT), and TRE plus mixed or concurrent training. Methods PubMed/MEDLINE, Web of Science, Scopus, Embase, the Cochrane Library, and Google Scholar were searched from 2016 t...

Thermophysiological responses to occupational heat stress during simulated wildland firefighting in females and males: influence of fitness and body composition.

This study compared thermophysiological responses to prolonged exercise during prolonged occupational heat stress in female and male participants involved in wildland firefighting activities while wearing standard personal protective equipment. Twenty-two participants (11 females and 11 males) performed a graded exercise test followed by a prolonged submaximal protocol simulating wildfire suppression tasks in a controlled environment (30 °C, 30% relative humidity). Physiological responses, gastr...

Determinants of MoCA improvement in post-ischemic stroke patients receiving acupuncture: a retrospective study.

Background Acupuncture is commonly integrated into multimodal rehabilitation programs for post-ischemic stroke cognitive impairment (PSCI), but the factors associated with cognitive improvement in this complex treatment context remain unclear. This retrospective study investigated factors associated with cognitive improvement in stroke patients receiving acupuncture as part of a standardized multimodal inpatient rehabilitation program. Methods In this single-center retrospective cohort study,...

Effects of brain–computer interface output modalities on motor recovery after stroke: a systematic review and network meta-analysis.

Background The relative effects of different brain-computer interface output modalities for post-stroke motor rehabilitation remain unclear. Objectives To synthesize randomized evidence on brain–computer interface-assisted motor rehabilitation after stroke, with emphasis on functional electrical stimulation-triggered and robot-assisted output modalities and the certainty of evidence. Methods Sixteen randomized controlled trials published from January 2020 to October 2025 were identified fro...

Comparative effects of different magnetic stimulation modalities on upper limb motor function and activities of daily living in patients with stroke: a systematic review and network meta-analysis.

Objective To systematically evaluate the effects of different magnetic stimulation (MS) modalities on upper limb motor function and activities of daily living (ADL) in patients with stroke through a network meta-analysis. Methods Embase, Web of Science, PubMed, Wanfang, VIP, and CNKI were searched from inception to January 2026 for randomized controlled trials evaluating MS interventions for upper limb motor function and activities of daily living (ADL) in patients with stroke.

Delivery of selected guideline-based care processes in adult stroke rehabilitation: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background Clinical practice guidelines provide evidence-based recommendations for stroke rehabilitation, but the extent to which guideline-concordant care is delivered in routine practice remains uncertain. The goal of this study was to estimate the pooled rate of patient- or chart-level delivery of selected guideline-based care processes in adult stroke rehabilitation. Methods A systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted to identify studies reporting patient-, chart-, or care-episode...

Determinants of personal protective measures use to prevent the spread of respiratory infectious diseases in early 2024, Canada: a cross-sectional study.

This study explored how people in Canada make decisions regarding the use of personal protective measures (PPMs) to protect themselves and others from respiratory infectious diseases (RIDs). It examined patterns and perceptions of PPM use post-COVID-19 pandemic and potential determinants of ongoing PPM use. A cross-sectional survey with 6,611 respondents, selected from online panels to represent the Canadian population, was conducted in February 2024. Descriptive statistics and multivariate line...

Enhanced mitochondrial respiratory metabolism in UV-damaged HDF cells based on metabolomics analysis of fermented Galla rhois gallnut extract.

UV-induced photoaging disrupts mitochondrial homeostasis in skin cells, which in turn exacerbates skin aging. In this study, we developed a novel fermented Galla rhois gallnut extract (FGRE) using Lactiplantibacillus plantarum with mitochondrial respiratory homeostasis amelioration. Biochemical assays showed that FGRE exhibited stronger antioxidant and anti-elastase activities than the unfermented extract. Using Seahorse XF Cell Mito Stress Test, 1% FGRE significantly enhanced mitochondrial resp...
