Background: Photobiomodulation (PBM), also referred to as low-level light therapy (LLLT), is an emerging non-pharmacological approach. This treatment is considered low-risk, cost-effective, and non-invasive, utilizing near-infrared light (NIR). The p...
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that affects over 2% of the population worldwide and is characterized by repetitive behaviors, restricted areas of interest, deficits in social communication, and high levels of anxiety....
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the selective loss of dopaminergic (DA) neurons in the midbrain. While dopamine precursor levodopa and D2 receptor agonists are commonly used to alleviate PD...
Environmental noise has been repeatedly linked to negative effects on cognitive functioning among children and adolescents. This research sought to systematically assess studies investigating the relationship between noise exposure and cognitive outc...
In recent years, in the pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis, emphasis has been placed on mitochondrial processes that influence the onset of the disease. Oxidative stress would be one of the consequences of mitochondrial dysfunction, and its impact on...
Background: Stroke and traumatic brain injury (TBI) represent two major health concerns worldwide. There is growing evidence suggesting a potential association between TBI and stroke. In this systematic review and meta-analysis, we aim to explore the...
People with bipolar disorder (BD) present with mood instability resulting from more frequent and intense emotions in response to environmental conditions relative to healthy subjects. The aim of this study was to investigate the time course of emotio...
Insufficient sleep and circadian misalignment increase inflammatory agents. This triggers neuroinflammation and can result in health issues including depression, dementia, lifestyle-related diseases, and industrial accidents. Lactoferrin (LF) confers...
(1) Background: Multiple lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) is a degenerative disease that is increasingly prevalent with global aging. Multilevel fusion surgery is burdensome to perform in elderly patients, especially with osteoporosis and underlying dise...
Background: Amputation poses significant physical, psychological, and emotional challenges, with chronic pain being one of the most debilitating outcomes. Pain Pressure Threshold (PPT), a measure of nociceptive sensitivity, is a valuable tool for ass...
Background: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the fifth leading cause of death for Americans older than 65. Though fluctuations have been noticed over the past two decades, the mortality of Alzheimer’s patients increased considerably during the...
Background: Fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS), a chronic pain syndrome affecting 0.2–6.6% of the general population, is known for its challenging diagnosis and treatment. The known dysregulation in the Endogenous Pain Modulatory System (EPMS) charact...
Objective: As outlined in our previous study, this study aims to investigate the role of body mass index (BMI) as an effect modifier in the relationship between conditioned pain modulation (CPM) and clinical outcomes, including depression, quality of...
Pattern separation is considered a crucial process that allows us to distinguish among the highly similar and overlapping experiences that constitute our episodic memory. Not only do different episodes share common features, but it is often the case...
Introduction: The current literature suggests hyperglycemia can predict poor outcomes in patients with primary intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Chronic hyperglycemia is seen in patients with pre-existing diabetes (DM); however, acute hyperglycemia in...
Alzheimer’s disease is the most common form of dementia. Benzodiazepines are the most widely used pharmacological class in the treatment of insomnia and other sleep disorders. Some literature suggests that the chronic use of benzodiazepines is...
This study investigates employment rates and their determinants among individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI) in Romania using data from the Romanian National Spinal Cord Injury Survey (RO-InSCI), part of the International Spinal Cord Injury (InSCI...
Hypoxia due to stroke is a major cause of neuronal damage, leading to loss of cognition and other brain functions. Sevoflurane preconditioning improves recovery after hypoxia. Hypoxia interferes with protein expression at the translational level; how...
Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) is a transitional stage between normal aging and Alzheimer’s disease. Differentiating early MCI (EMCI) from late MCI (LMCI) is crucial for early diagnosis and intervention. This study used free-water diffusion te...
Background: Hypokinetic dysarthria is a speech disorder observed in almost 90% of PD patients that can appear at any stage of the disease, usually worsening as the disease progresses. Today, speech therapy intervention in PD is seen as a possible the...
Background: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative condition characterized by the degradation of dopaminergic pathways in the brain. As the population in the United States continues to age, it is essential to understand the...
Dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD), presents critical challenges for correctional systems, particularly as global populations age. AD, affecting 60–80% of dementia cases, primarily impairs memor...
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a multifactorial disease, with diet and lifestyle playing an important role in its development. The Mediterranean diet has been considered to be particularly beneficial for MS patients. The aim of the present study was to i...
This review emphasises the importance of the cardiovascular response to facial cooling (FC) and breath holding in both sexes. The trigemino-cardiac reflex, triggered by FC, reduces heart rate (HR) and constricts blood vessels. When combined with brea...
Human point-light displays consist of luminous dots representing human articulations, thus depicting actions without pictorial information. These stimuli are widely used in action recognition experiments. Because humans excel in decoding human motion...
Background: Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) is a rare, immune-mediated inflammatory disorder of the central nervous system (CNS), typically characterized by the acute onset of multifocal demyelination. The pathogenesis of ADEM remains unc...
