Calcitonin gene‐related peptide concentration in cerebrospinal fluid and serum in horses affected by trigeminal‐mediated headshaking

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Trigeminal‐mediated headshaking (TMHS) in horses shares clinical features with human trigeminal neuralgia (HTN). Increased levels of the neuropeptide calcitonin gene‐related peptide (CGRP) have been found in the blood and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of HTN patients. Inhibition of CGRP in humans has shown promise for pain relief.

Transvaginal hemiperitoneal cervical cerclage for cervical insufficiency: A single‐center retrospective study

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Cervical insufficiency (CI) is thought to be responsible for 8% of miscarriages and preterm births. Cervical cerclage is the main treatment for CI. There are different approaches to cervical cerclage, and it is particularly important to find a method of cervical cerclage that is simple to perform and results in better pregnancy ...

No differences in functional and clinical outcomes after rehabilitation between modified kinematic and mechanical alignment in total knee arthroplasty: A randomized controlled trial

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Despite advancements in total knee arthroplasty (TKA), patient dissatisfaction remains notably high (15%–25%). This dissatisfaction will be multifactorial, one of which may be the alignment of the components. Kinematic alignment (KA), aimed at restoring pre‐arthritic knee anatomy, is proposed as a promising alternative to mechanical ...
