Better knee function after surgical repair of acute quadriceps tendon rupture in comparison to acute patellar tendon rupture
(2019)Introduction: The purpose of this study was to determine if there is a difference in knee function between patients with quadriceps tendon rupture and patellar tendon rupture after acute surgical repair. Our hypothesis was ... -
Blink reflex habituation in migraine and chronic tension-type headache
(2017)R1 and R2 blink reflex latencies were investigated blind in 55 patients with chronic tension-type headache, 55 patients with migraine, and 55 headache-free controls. Standard electrical stimulation of the supraorbital nerve ... -
Body mass index in patients with Multiple Sclerosis: a meta-analysis
(2019)Background: The impact of nutrition and diet on the etiology of Multiple Sclerosis (MS) has been evaluated through a number of studies. Only a limited number reported findings on the association between body mass index ... -
Breast radiotherapy and early adverse cardiac effects. The role of serum biomarkers and strain echocardiography
(2019)Breast cancer radiotherapy has a clear benefit for both long-term survival and local recurrence rate. However, there is still much concern about the early radiation-induced heart toxicity. This article aimed to clarify the ... -
Bronchial Asthma and Sarcopenia: An Upcoming Potential Interaction
(2022)Background: Sarcopenia seems to be an emerging health issue worldwide, concerning the progressive loss of skeletal muscle mass, accompanied by adverse outcomes. Asthma is a chronic inflammatory respiratory condition that ... -
C-reactive protein as a potential biomarker of residual obstructive sleep apnea following adenotonsillectomy in children
(2016)Study Objectives: Adenotonsillectomy (AT) is first-line treatment for pediatric obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), with most children having improvements in polysomnography (PSG). However, many children have residual OSA ... -
Calprotectin in lung diseases
(2021)Calprotectin (CLP) is a heterodimer formed by two S‐100 calcium‐binding cytosolic pro-teins, S100A8 and S100A9. It is a multifunctional protein expressed mainly by neutrophils and released extracellularly by activated or ... -
