Predictors of the effects of treatment for shoulder pain: protocol of an individual participant data meta-analysis

Abstract Background Shoulder pain is one of the most common presentations of musculoskeletal pain with a 1-month population prevalence of between 7 and 26%.The overall prognosis of shoulder pain is highly variable with 40% of patients reporting persistent pain 1 year after consulting their primary care 5mm clinician.Despite evidence for prognostic

Single-cell RNA sequencing unveils the activation of EGR1-ATF3 signaling in EGR1 + muscle stem cells during human paravertebral muscle degeneration

Background: Paravertebral muscles (PVM) degeneration (PMD) is closely associated with low back pain.Muscle stem cells (MuSCs) can promote muscle regeneration and repair.However, our understanding of the cellular composition of PVM and the key genes-mediated MuSCs functions is limited.Methods: We analyzed cells heterogeneity and identified key genes

Long-term aerobic exercise protects against cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity by modulating the expression of IL-6 and HO-1.

Nephrotoxicity is substantial side effect for 30% of patients undergoing cancer therapy with cisplatin and may force them to change or even abandon the treatment.Studies regarding aerobic exercise have shown its efficacy for the Cross Bar treatment of many types of diseases and its capacity to reduce tumors.However, little is known about the impact

Circadian Control of Metabolism by the Clock Component TOC1

Photosynthesis in chloroplasts during the day and mitochondrial respiration during the night execute nearly opposing reactions that are coordinated with the internal cellular status and the external conditions.Here, we describe a mechanism by which the Arabidopsis clock component TIMING OF CAB EXPRESSION1 (TOC1) contributes to the diurnal regulatio
