Comparative Effectiveness of Massage Gun and Myofascial Release Technique for Releasing Latent Trigger Points of Calf Muscle: A Randomized Clinical Trial

Health Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Latent trigger points (LTrPs) in the calf muscle contribute to localized pain, increased pain sensitivity, and impaired movement. Massage gun (MG) and myofascial release (MFR) are used to manage LTrPs, but there's limited direct evidence comparing their effects. Therefore, we aimed to compare the effects of MG and therapist‐

Alpha-Melanocyte-Stimulating Hormone Maintains Retinal Homeostasis after Ischemia/Reperfusion

Biomolecules
Augmenting the natural melanocortin pathway in mouse eyes with uveitis or diabetes protects the retinas from degeneration. The retinal cells are protected from oxidative and apoptotic signals of death.

Dielectric Barrier Discharge Plasma Deoxidation of Natively Oxide Layer of Copper Powders in a Fluidized Bed

Advanced Engineering Materials, Volume 28, Issue 12, 17 June 2026.
This paper presents a novel approach to reducing oxide layers on metal powders using low‐temperature hydrogen dielectric barrier discharge plasmas at atmospheric pressure. Unlike conventional hydrogen‐plasma reductions, the powders do not contact the plasma directly.
