A case of multiple Vertebrobasilar artery fenestration misdiagnosed as vertebral artery dissection
A case of multiple Vertebrobasilar artery fenestration misdiagnosed as vertebral artery dissection The triple fenestration at vertebrobasilar artery with basilar tip artery aneurysm is extremely rare, and the fenestration at the V1 segment of vertebral artery was easily misdiagnosed as VAD due to the similar imaging morphology. #science #chiropractor #chiropractic #research #education #evidence based #patient […]
Gut microbiota mediates intermittent-fasting alleviation of diabetes-induced cognitive impairment
Gut microbiota mediates intermittent-fasting alleviation of diabetes-induced cognitive impairment Cognitive decline is one of the complications of type 2 diabetes (T2D). Intermittent fasting (IF) is a promising dietary intervention for alleviating T2D symptoms, but its protective effect on diabetes-driven cognitive dysfunction remains elusive. Here, we find that a 28-day IF regimen for diabetic mice improves […]

TACAN Is an Ion Channel Involved in Sensing Mechanical Pain
TACAN Is an Ion Channel Involved in Sensing Mechanical Pain Although the mechanisms for some of these functions have been identified, the molecules essential to the sense of pain have remained elusive. Here we report identification of TACAN (Tmem120A), an ion channel involved in sensing mechanical pain. TACAN is expressed in a subset of nociceptors, […]
Correlation between Findings in Physical Examination, Magnetic Resonance Imaging, and Nerve Conduction Studies in Lumbosacral Radiculopathy Caused by Lumbar Intervertebral Disc Herniation
Correlation between Findings in Physical Examination, Magnetic Resonance Imaging, and Nerve Conduction Studies in Lumbosacral Radiculopathy Caused by Lumbar Intervertebral Disc Herniation Abnormal neurological examination findings can be used to predict nerve root compression in MRI examination. On the contrary, positive findings of physical examination do not predict abnormal NCS, as well as negative findings […]

Association between objectively measured physical behaviour and neck- And/or low back pain: A systematic review.
Association between objectively measured physical behaviour and neck- And/or low back pain: A systematic review. This review indicates that, among blue-collar workers, increased sitting at work may protect against NP and LBP, while increased physical activity during work and/or leisure may increase this risk. There was no evidence supporting physical activity as a prognostic factor […]
Risk of slaughterhouse workers developing work-related musculoskeletal disorders in different organizational working conditions
Risk of slaughterhouse workers developing work-related musculoskeletal disorders in different organizational working conditions In slaughterhouses, there is the challenge of efficiently implementing job rotations due to the predominance of repetitive tasks that require intense movement of the upper limbs. In addition, some limitations are found when creating a job rotation plan, such as: hygienic sanitary […]

The effect of sleep restriction, with or without high‐intensity interval exercise, on myofibrillar protein synthesis in healthy young men
The effect of sleep restriction, with or without high‐intensity interval exercise, on myofibrillar protein synthesis in healthy young men These data suggest that MyoPS is acutely reduced by sleep restriction, although MyoPS can be maintained by performing HIIE. These findings may explain the sleep‐loss‐induced reductions in muscle mass previously reported and also highlight the potential […]
