AIMS:To investigate the association between a standardized ankle fascial manipulation protocol and improvements in symptoms and quality of life for patients with urinary incontinence (UI). METHODS:This retrospective study reviewed the clinical records of 81 patients (aged 30-75) with stress, urgency, or mixed UI who completed a standardized intervention. The protocol consisted of 16 sessions of ankle fascial manipulation over 8 weeks. Primary outcomes included the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Short Form (ICIQ-SF) score and 24-h pad test volume. Secondary outcomes included the King's Health Questionnaire (KHQ). Assessments were performed at baseline, 8 weeks, and a 3-month follow-up. RESULTS:Significant improvements were observed. The mean ICIQ-SF score decreased from 14.3 ± 3.2 to 6.8 ± 2.9 (p < 0.001), and the 24-h pad test volume reduced by 63.7% (p < 0.001). Patients with stress UI demonstrated the greatest reduction in leakage (72.4%), compared to urgency (54.8%) and mixed (61.3%) UI (p = 0.023). Quality of life improved significantly, with the mean total KHQ score decreasing from 65.3 to 31.8 (p < 0.001). Improvements were largely maintained at the 3-month follow-up. CONCLUSIONS:Ankle fascial manipulation was associated with significant improvements in urinary incontinence symptoms and quality of life, particularly for stress UI. These findings suggest it may be a promising complementary therapy. Rigorous randomized controlled trials are needed to confirm efficacy and investigate underlying mechanisms.
Background and Objective:Cough is an essential defensive reflex that plays a critical role in airway protection. Dysfunction of this reflex, often manifesting as chronic cough or cough hypersensitivity, involves complex alterations in both peripheral and central nervous systems. While previous studies primarily focused on brainstem-mediated reflexes, recent neuroimaging highlights the pivotal role of higher cortical areas in regulating both voluntary and involuntary cough. This review aims to comprehensively summarize the application of multimodal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in delineating these central mechanisms and identifying therapeutic targets. Methods:For this narrative review, we conducted a structured literature search using PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science to identify relevant studies published up to January 2026. Search terms included "cough", "chronic cough", "multimodal MRI", "structural MRI (sMRI)", "functional MRI (fMRI)", and "diffusion MRI (dMRI)". Relevant articles focusing on neural substrates of cough and neuroimaging-guided interventions were selected and synthesized. Key Content and Findings:By integrating sMRI, fMRI, and dMRI, current research has delineated a dynamic cough-related neural network. Key hubs identified include the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC), anterior cingulate cortex (ACC), and nucleus tractus solitarius (NTS). The review further describes mechanisms of central sensitization and neuroplasticity that may characterize refractory cough. Additionally, we explore how these imaging biomarkers can guide pharmacological and non-invasive interventions, such as transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS). Conclusions:Multimodal MRI facilitates a deeper understanding of the central functional alterations associated with cough dysfunction. Identification of specific imaging biomarkers provides reliable neuroimaging targets for novel diagnostic and therapeutic strategies, ultimately facilitating the development of precision medicine for patients with cough-related neurological disorders.
Background/Aims: Epidemiological associations between metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) and sleep disturbances point to shared mechanisms, yet the underlying central pathways remain unexplored. We hypothesized that high-fat diet (HFD)-induced MAFLD disrupts sleep architecture via hippocampal neuroinflammation and dysregulation of the IRS-1/Akt/mTOR signaling axis. Methods Male BALB/c mice were fed a control diet (CD) or a 60% HFD for 16 weeks to induce MAFLD. Sleep–wake architecture was assessed by 24-h EEG/EMG recordings. We evaluated hepatic steatosis, serum cytokines, hippocampal histology, and pro-inflammatory cytokines. Hippocampal expression and phosphorylation of IRS-1 (Ser307), Akt (Ser473), and mTOR (Ser2448) were analyzed by Western blot. Results HFD-fed mice developed hepatic steatosis, elevated liver enzymes, and increased serum TNF-α and IL-1β. These mice exhibited reduced non‑rapid eye movement (NREM) and rapid eye movement (REM) sleep duration, severe sleep fragmentation (reflected by increased bout numbers and shorter mean bout durations), and diminished NREM sleep delta power. Cosinor analysis revealed a dampened circadian rhythm of NREM sleep delta power. In the hippocampus, HFD induced neuronal injury, elevated TNF-α and IL-1β levels, and a bifurcated signaling profile: increased p-IRS-1 (Ser307), decreased p-Akt (Ser473), yet paradoxically elevated p-mTOR (Ser2448). Conclusion Our findings establish a novel liver–hippocampus–sleep axis in which MAFLD-driven systemic inflammation and hippocampal IRS-1/Akt/mTOR dysregulation are associated with profound sleep disruption. Targeting this axis may offer new therapeutic strategies for sleep disorders in MAFLD.
This cross-sectional study examines the association between coffee and caffeine consumption and depressive symptoms in postpartum women. In total, 821 postpartum women who met the study's inclusion criteria were interviewed. Data were extracted from the 2007-2018 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Coffee consumption and 11 confounding variables were considered and analyzed as baseline data. Weighted logistic regression models were constructed by adjusting the variables, and the odds ratios of total coffee, caffeinated coffee, and decaffeinated coffee were assessed for their impact on depression status. In addition, subgroup analyses were conducted according to race, breastfeeding status, and postpartum period. The results show that generic coffee and caffeinated coffee intake have a potentially protective effect in postpartum women. Drinking more than three cups of caffeinated coffee may lower the risk of postpartum depression, particularly in the 1-2 year postpartum period and in non-breastfeeding women. The association between decaffeinated coffee consumption and postpartum depression remains unclear.
腹直肌分离(diastasis rectus abdominis,DRA)是产后最常见疾病之一,其发病率在产后6周可达60%[1],二胎及以上产妇产后腹直肌分离的发病率较一胎更高[2].腹直肌分离若不及时治疗,不仅可导致产后体态不良,亦可导致腰骶骨盆区长期慢性疼痛,甚至脐疝等更为严重后果[3-5].随着国家政策的引导及妇女对产后生活质量的要求,产后腹直肌分离的有效治疗将成为产后康复的重要任务.
Firefighters' high-intensity training often leads to injuries in the musculoskeletal system. Studies have found that these injuries in the musculoskeletal system may contribute to poor psychological issues. At the same time, low psychological well-being increases the risk of injuries, illness, and mortality. According to research reports, firefighters generally have a good psychological state. So this study aims to survey and analyze the training-related injuries and psychological states of firefighting and rescue personnel in Beijing. This cross-sectional study employed a questionnaire survey to gather data from a total of 214 firefighters in a certain city. The participants were required to complete a questionnaire about musculoskeletal injuries and psychological status, and then these data were statistically analyzed. The incidence of training-related injuries is relatively high among firefighting and rescue teams, with the highest proportions observed in the lower back, knees, and ankles. Overweight and obese firefighters are more prone to ankle injuries. In the group with injuries, the subjective well-being index is lower compared to the group without injuries. Firefighters experiencing moderate to severe pain due to injuries exhibit lower subjective well-being indices compared to those with mild pain. Psychological resilience and the impact of pain on training and sleep can predict the subjective well-being index of firefighters. It is recommended that firefighting and rescue teams enhance preventive measures for musculoskeletal injuries during training to elevate the subjective well-being of firefighters.

Background The cough reflex is a protective reflex of the human body. Increases or decreases in cough reflex sensitivity may be related to chronic cough, aspiration pneumonia and other diseases. The right primary somatosensory cortex (RS1) is the main activation centre for the urge to cough. Here, we discuss the effects of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) of RS1 on the cough reflex and urge to cough. In addition, we explored the role of the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (lDLPFC) in cough using tDCS. Methods 24 healthy young adults completed this pilot randomised controlled crossover experiment. Each person was tested three times, receiving, in random order, anodal tDCS of RS1 or lDLPFC or sham stimulation. The current intensity was set to 2 mA, the stimulation time was 30 min and the interval between any two stimuli was ≥1 week. After each intervention, the citric acid cough challenge test was used immediately to assess the urge to cough and cough reflex sensitivity. Results The cough reflex thresholds, expressed as LogC2 and LogC5, were significantly reduced after RS1 anodal stimulation compared to sham stimulation, accompanied by increased urge-to-cough sensitivity (urge-to-cough log–log slope 1.19±0.40 point·L·g−1 versus 0.92±0.33 point·L·g−1, p=0.001), but the threshold for the urge to cough did not change significantly. There were no significant changes in the urge to cough and cough reflex sensitivity after tDCS anodal lDLPFC stimulation. Conclusion Anodal tDCS stimulation of the RS1 can increase urge-to-cough sensitivity and reduce cough reflex threshold. The effects of tDCS on cough reflex, as well as the underlying mechanisms driving those effects, should be explored further.
BackgroundRandomized controlled trials (RCTs) have shown conflicting results regarding the effects of perioperative cognitive training (CT) on the incidence of postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) and postoperative delirium (POD). We, therefore, performed a meta-analysis to assess the overall effects of studies on this topic.MethodsWe searched PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, and Web of Science for all RCTs and cohort studies that investigated the effects of perioperative CT on the incidence of POCD and POD. Data extraction and quality assessment were conducted independently by two researchers.ResultsThis study included nine clinical trials with a total of 975 patients. The results showed that perioperative CT significantly reduced the incidence of POCD compared with the control group [risk ratio (RR) = 0.5, 95% CI (confidence interval): 0.28–0.89, P = 0.02]. Nevertheless, for the incidence of POD, the difference between the two groups was not statistically significant (RR = 0.64; 95% CI: 0.29–1.43, P = 0.28). In addition, the CT group had less postoperative decline in the cognitive function scores compared with the control group [mean differences (MD): 1.58, 95% CI: 0.57–2.59, P = 0.002]. In addition, there were no statistically differences in length of hospital stay between the two groups (MD: −0.18, 95% CI: −0.93–0.57, P = 0.64). Regarding CT adherence, the proportion of patients in the cognitive training group who completed the planned duration of CT was 10% (95% CI: 0.05–0.14, P = 0.258).ConclusionOur meta-analysis revealed that perioperative cognitive training is possibly an effective measure to reduce the incidence of POCD, but not for the incidence of POD.Systematic review registrationhttps://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero/display_record.php?ID=CRD42022371306, identifier: CRD42022371306.

Feng spinal mobilization (FSM) is one of the most widely practiced techniques in traditional Chinese osteopathy, especially in China. However, whether this FSM technique is more effective than the Maitland posteroanterior mobilization (MM), which is widely used all over the world, is still unknown. The purpose of this study was to retrospectively analyze and compare the efficacy of these 2 treatments in patients with chronic nonspecific low back pain (CNLBP) as to provide a basis for the clinical treatment of chronic low back pain. A total of 83 patients, including 43 patients in the FSM group and 40 in the MM group, were enrolled in this cohort study. FSM or MM was performed on patients 3 times during a period of 2 weeks. Changes in the subjective and objective measurements were measured before and after the third treatment. The subjective symptoms recorded included the visual analogue scale (VAS), Oswestry disability index, and Patient Health Questionnaire-9. The objective symptoms, including the lumbar range of motion (ROM), and straight leg raise (SLR) height were also checked for any changes. The VAS scores were reassessed at the 1-year follow-up visit. The results showed that 2 weeks of FSM treatment significantly improved CNLBP patients modified Schober test (P < .05), extension ROM (P < .01), and SLR height (P < .05) while MM treatment did not. Both treatments significantly decreased the values of VAS, Oswestry disability index, and Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (P < .01). Compared to the MM treatment, the FSM treatment showed a much more significant improvement in VAS score (P < .01), range of motion of extension (P < .01), and SLR of both sides (P < .05). At the 1-year follow-up, VAS scores in both groups decreased significantly compared to pretreatments; however, there was no significant difference between the 2 groups. Our data suggested that the FSM treatment can provide better efficacy than MM in CNLBP patients, improving the VAS scores, lumbar extension ROM, and SLR height in a shorter time.
