Plantar fasciitis (PF) is one of the most common causes of heel pain, typically characterized by a sharp pain in the plantar aponeurosis, specifically near the insertion site close to the medial process of the calcaneal tuberosity. It has been reported that 1 in 10 people are expected to be affected by PF in their lifetime. A comprehensive internet-panel survey conducted among the adult United States population revealed the population-based prevalence of self-reported PF with pain in the last month was 0.85 percent. Approximately 1 million patients are diagnosed with this disease each year in the United States. PF was believed to be an acute inflammatory disease, but patient samples show it is actually a chronic degenerative process caused by various factors such as repetitive stresses, vascular and metabolic disorders, excess free radicals, high temperatures, genetic factors, and conditions like rheumatoid arthritis and spondyloarthropathies. PF may be associated with impaired health-related quality of life, including reduced life functioning, poor perceived health status and social isolation. Additionally, a recent study indicates that the annual cost associated with PF is $284 million. The first-line treatments recommended by guidelines for PF encompass physical therapy (including manual therapy, stretching, and others), pharmacological therapy (involving corticosteroids or platelet-rich plasma), and surgical treatment. However, the definite effects of physical therapy still require confirmation. Pharmacological treatments, such as local corticosteroid injections, exhibit a short maintenance period. Some studies indicate that the relief provided by corticosteroid injections lasts up to one month, yet its efficacy diminishes after 6 months. Surgical treatment is generally advised 6 to 12 months after unsuccessful conservative treatment, albeit with the drawback of higher costs, post-surgery recovery time, and patient apprehension. Acupuncture is one of the most common complementary alternative therapy for the treatment of pain-related diseases such as musculoskeletal muscle, and recent guidelines recommend dry needling as a treatment for relief of plantar fasciitis, with a level of evidence of B. Dry acupuncture is different from acupuncture in terms of theoretical basis, therapeutic apparatus, technical operation and scope of indications, however, the American Alliance for Professional Acupuncture Safety also believes that dry needling falls under the umbrella of acupuncture, but under a different name. In addition, there are systematic evaluations that suggest acupuncture can be a safe and effective treatment for PF, and most of the trials in the systematic evaluations used 4-week treatment courses. Our prior study demonstrated that a 4-week intervention of both electroacupuncture and manual acupuncture resulted in improved pain outcomes among patients with PF. The frequency of acupuncture stands as a crucial factor influencing its efficacy. A study revealed that needling trials with negative results had a significantly lower frequency compared to those yielding positive results. Furthermore, several studies indicate that acupuncture once a week can be help in conditions such as simple obesity, functional dyspepsia, and overactive bladder in women. There is no universally accepted standard of frequency of treatment for many conditions, including PF. In China, patients with chronic diseases usually receive 3-5 acupuncture treatments per week. However, in most previous trials, individuals with chronic diseases received 1-2 needling sessions per week. An increase in the frequency of acupuncture means an increase in the pain, time, and financial investment associated with the acupuncture process. Therefore, it is critical to optimize the frequency of acupuncture to ensure the effectiveness and feasibility of the treatment while avoiding increasing the burden on the patient. Accordingly, we designed the current trial to compare the effects of different acupuncture sessions (1 session per week versus 3 sessions per week) in a randomized controlled trial (RCT) of chronic PF. The hypothesis is that 1 session per week compared with 3 sessions per week of electroacupuncture treatment over a total of 4 weeks of treatment will provide a similar effect on pain relief in chronic PF.
This study objectively analyzes the safety and survival evaluation of perioperative immunotherapy combined with chemotherapy in locally advanced gastric cancer patients through a prospective randomized controlled trial research method; By comparing the pathological response rate, disease-free survival rate, and incidence of adverse events between the combination therapy and chemotherapy alone group, we aim to verify the efficacy and safety of tirelizumab combined with SOX/XELOX chemotherapy in disease control of locally advanced gastric cancer patients, laying the foundation and providing a basis for large-scale multicenter clinical research.
To explore and compare the effects of esketamine and remimazolam on postoperative sleep disturbance in patients undergoing oocyte retrieval
The LD-ITUK is a multicenter, prospective, randomized, double-blind, blind endpoint, placebo-control design trial. All eligible patients with the diagnosis of severe aSAH will be randomly assigned to the treatment group or the placebo group. Patients in the treatment group will receive standard treatment with the addition of lumbar drainage combined with intrathecal urokinase injection started within 24 hours after aneurysm treatment with 30000 IU urokinase, once a day for 3 consecutive days. Patients in the control group will receive standard treatment with the addition of lumbar drainage combined with intrathecal placebo (0.9%NaCl) injection. The primary outcome measure is favorable functional outcome, defined as a score of 0 to 2 on the modified Rankin Scale (mRS), at 6 months after aneurysmal SAH. Primary outcome will be determined by a member of the Independent Committee on Terminal events.
Cancer associated fibroblasts (CAFs) can promote tumor cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and angiogenesis through immunosuppressive effects and the production of mediators, thereby promoting tumor growth and progression. The characteristic of CAFs is high expression of fibroblast activation protein (FAP). In approximately 90% of epithelial derived tumors, FAP is highly overexpressed on the membrane of CAFs. Contrary to CAFs, FAP expression is lower or absent in normal tissues. Therefore, FAP inhibitors (FAPI) targeting FAP can overcome the limitations of 18F-2-fluoro.2-deoxy-D-glucose fluorodeoxyglucose(18F-FDG) PET imaging. But like 18F-FDG, wound healing, fibrosis, and inflammation can also uptake FAPI.. Therefore, a comparison of the performance of 18F-FDG and 18F-FAPI PET imaging in diagnosing primary and metastatic lesions of various types of cancer is conducted to evaluate the potential value of these new radiopharmaceuticals as effective alternatives to 18F-FDG, highlighting their advantages and limitations.
This study will evaluate the effect of triple ICS/LAMA/LABA therapy with BGF MDI 320/14.4/9.6 μg on cardiopulmonary outcomes relative to LAMA/LABA therapy with GFF MDI 14.4/9.6 μg in a population with COPD and elevated cardiopulmonary risk.
In Ease Asia clinical trials, P2Y12 inhibitor (ticagrelor or clopidogrel) monotherapy after 3-month dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) resulted in a lower incidence of clinically significant bleeding, without increasing risk of major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events, even if acute coronary syndrome (ACS) following complex percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) when compared with standard DAPT. Although better understood "East Asian Paradox", finding the right CYP2C19 genotype-guided P2Y12 inhibitor selection to balance maintaining ischaemic prevention and less bleeding remains a topic in real-world clinical practice.
