A Randomized Trial of Intratympanic Drug Delivery: Evaluating the Efficacy and Safety of Dexamethasone-Loaded Exosomes Versus Standard Therapy in Acute Sensorineural Hearing Loss.

Primary Objective To compare the efficacy of a single course of IT Exo-Dex versus conventional IT dexamethasone and exosome vehicle alone, as measured by the mean change in pure-tone average (PTA; 0.5, 1, 2, 4 kHz) from baseline to the 4-week post-treatment endpoint. Secondary Objectives 1. To determine the safety and tolerability profile of IT Exo-Dex. 2. To compare the rate of hearing recovery (defined as \>10 dB improvement in PTA or recovery to within 10 dB of contralateral ear) among the three treatment groups at 1, 4, and 12 weeks. 3. To assess changes in auditory function via Auditory Brainstem Response (ABR) thresholds and Otoacoustic Emissions (OAEs). 4. To characterize the pharmacokinetics and inner ear biodistribution of Exo-Dex using advanced imaging modalities (e.g., MRI with exosome-contrast agents in a sub-study cohort if applicable).

Stress Modulation and Dynamic Balance

This three-arm, parallel-group, randomized controlled trial (RCT) investigates whether dual-task therapeutic exercises (dynamic balance + cognitive task) improve perceived stress and dynamic balance in 72 healthy university students (18-25 years) compared to traditional balance training alone or a control group receiving general health advice. The dual-task group performs the same dynamic balance exercises (e.g., backward walking, tandem gait, single-leg reaches) while simultaneously engaging in cognitive tasks (verbal fluency, arithmetic, or working memory). The intervention lasts 6 weeks (2 sessions/week, 20-30 min each). Primary outcomes are Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10) scores and objective dynamic balance indices (anterior/posterior/lateral deviation, overall stability) measured via the Balance check 636 device. Assessments occur at baseline and post-intervention by a blinded assessor. The study addresses a gap: no prior trial has examined combined effects of dual-task training on both stress modulation and balance in this population.

Effect of Task Specific Electrical Stimulation on Upper Limb Gross Motor Skills in Children With Spastic Quadriplegia

Cerebral palsy is a non-progressive lesion of the brain occurring before 2 years of age resulting in disorders of posture and movement.( Ostensjo S, 2004)( Keles MN, 2018). Although non- progressive, motor impairments develop as the child grows leading to activity and participation restriction. For children with CP, body function and structure impairments include changes in muscle tone and strength that affect the ability to control movement, specifically in regard to postural responses, selective control, regulation of activity, ability to learn unique movements, and inappropriate sequencing.(Ross SA,2007)( Ostensjo S, 2004) . Lack of proper loading and maladaptive muscle pulls over time causes the skeletal system to adapt to positions of malalignment, malformation, and overall bone weakness (Beckung E, 2007) (Elbasan B, 2018). These changes lead to delays in the natural progression of gross motor skills. As the child falls behind in motor function, they also fall behind in cognitive stimulation and development.( Akaya KU, 2018) . Understanding the anatomical and physiological implications that CP has on the developing child is necessary for physical therapists to treat this population, especially when utilizing electrical stimulation. Spastic quadriplegia Is a type of cerebral palsy that affects all four limbs and typically involves significant motor impairment. It results from brain damage that occurs before, during, or shortly after birth, affecting the areas of the brain responsible for movement and coordination. Electrical stimulation is a mode of physical therapy that can be utilized in the treatment of various nerve and muscle injuries, in addition to patients with acute and chronic pain. It involves an electrical pulse applied to a muscle or nerve that activates excitable tissue utilizing internal or external electrodes to build muscle strength, reduce pain, as well as create or support limb movement (Kerr C, 2007). Task-specific electrical stimulation (TASES) is a therapeutic technique used primarily in rehabilitation settings to enhance motor function. The primary aim of TASES is to facilitate movement and improve motor learning by applying electrical stimulation to specific muscles during targeted tasks.

L-PRF Versus Sticky Bone Grafting of the Jumping Gap in AI-assisted Computer-Guided Socket Shield Immediate Implantation

the rationale of the current study is to address a focused and clinically relevant gap in socket shield therapy: which biologic modality best supports healing of the shield-implant gap when SST is performed under a standardized, digitally guided workflow. The study will compare three shield-implant gap filling modalities: (i) L-PRF alone (without membrane), (ii) sticky tooth (autogenous dentin graft +i- PRF), and (iii) sticky bone (particulate graft + i- PRF) under AI-assisted, patient-specific guided implant placement based on IOS/CBCT superimposition, with CBCT follow-up at immediate, 3 months, and 6 months. The working hypothesis is that biologically active, cohesive composites (sticky tooth and sticky bone) will provide superior hard- and soft-tissue dimensional stability compared with PRF alone by improving space maintenance and early wound stability in the shield-implant gap . The null hypothesis is that there will be no statistically significant differences between the three modalities in radiographic and digitally assessed clinical outcomes over the 6-month follow-up period .

Guided Lateral Sinus Lifting Using Autologous Serum Albumin/Platelet-Rich Fibrin

This research aimed to evaluate the effect of an autologous Alb-PRF on bone regeneration after lateral sinus lifting via 3D volumetric analysis. The null hypothesis of this research was that there would be no significant difference between the group that would be treated by lateral sinus lift and Alb-PRF application and that would be treated by lateral sinus lift with bone graft for bone regeneration.

Comparison of Laparoscopic and Open Total Mesocolic Excision With Central Vascular Ligation for Right Colon Carcinoma

The goal of this observational comparative study is to assess whether laparoscopic complete mesocolic excision with central vascular ligation (L-CME with CVL) provides improved short-term surgical outcomes compared with open complete mesocolic excision with central vascular ligation (O-CME with CVL) in patients with right-sided colon cancer. The primary questions this study aims to answer are: Does laparoscopic CME with CVL reduce blood loss, postoperative complications, and length of hospital stay compared with open CME? Does laparoscopic CME with CVL achieve equivalent surgical specimen quality and short-term oncological outcomes compared to the open approach? Researchers compared laparoscopic versus open right hemicolectomy with CME and CVL in adult patients diagnosed with right colon cancer who were eligible for elective surgical resection. Participants underwent standard preoperative assessment, including clinical evaluation, laboratory testing, imaging studies, colonoscopy, and biopsy confirmation. Surgical treatment consisted of either laparoscopic or open complete mesocolic excision with central vascular ligation, performed according to standardized oncologic surgical principles. Postoperative care followed an enhanced recovery protocol. Primary outcome measures included operative time, intraoperative blood loss, time to first flatus, postoperative complications, and duration of hospital stay. Secondary outcomes included quality of the surgical specimen (lymph node yield, mesocolic integrity, and margin status) and short-term oncologic outcomes, including early recurrence during follow-up.
