significantly increased the muscular thickness compared with 5.84% dietary leucine level (P less then 0.05). Furthermore, compared with the control group, the villus height and goblet cell counts were significantly improved in fish fed with 2.77% of dietary leucine (P less then 0.05). These results indicated that the optimum dietary leucine plays…[Read more]

In DPN patients, DRG volume was negatively correlated with the neuropathy disability score (r = -0.43; 95%CI = -0.66 to -0.14; p = 0.02), a measure of neuropathy severity. DRG volume showed negative correlations with triglycerides (r = -0.40; 95%CI = -0.57 to -0.19; p = 0.006), and LDL cholesterol (r = -0.33; 95%CI = -0.51 to -0.11; p = 0.04).…[Read more]

Analyses of secondary outcomes indicated significant time effects (ps<.001) and no significant group-by-time interactions (ps from .07 to .91) on other sleep diary parameters, sleep medication use, depression, anxiety, fatigue and quality of life scores.

The efficacy of stepped care CBT-I is not inferior to that of a standard face-to-face…[Read more]

In recent years, a growing body of research has shown sex differences in the prevalence and symptomatology of psychopathologies, such as depression, anxiety, and fear-related disorders, all of which show high incidence rates in early life. This has highlighted the importance of including female subjects in animal studies, as well as delineating…[Read more]

BACKGROUND Insulin lowers not only blood glucose levels but also serum potassium levels by driving potassium into the cells. Hypokalemia can occur during aggressive treatment of hypoglycemia in patients with insulin overdose and is a well-documented clinical phenomenon; however, there are no studies describing delayed hyperkalemia occurring after…[Read more]

TTM is an effective treatment that can lower the risk of neurological disability in such patients and ideally delivered as part of a comprehensive, goal-directed post-resuscitation management by a multidisciplinary team in a tertiary medical center.

There is substantial risk of neurological injury in cardiac arrest survivors who remain…[Read more]
