Comparing the Efficacy of Intra-articular Platelet-rich Plasma and Corticosteroid Injections in the Management of Adhesive Capsulitis of Shoulder
Adhesive capsulitis is a frequent, agonizing, incapacitating ailment with various management options. Although steroid injections are a common therapy, they frequently have a transient effect. There is limited study on platelet-rich plasma (PRP), but it has become a viable option for managing adhesive capsulitis. This study focuses on analyzing the effectiveness of PRP in adhesive capsulitis.

A slipped disk can happen anywhere along the spine. Despite the name, the intervertebral disk does not slip out of place. Instead, the inner material protrudes through the disk’s outer ring, causing pain that can last weeks or months.
Light exercise can yield significant cognitive benefits, new research shows
Everyday physical activity, like going for a short walk or playing with the kids, may provide short-term benefits for cognitive health, equivalent to reversing four years of cognitive aging. That was a key finding for my colleagues and me in our new study, which was published in the journal Annals of Behavioral Medicine.
Silk Fibroin-Platelet Rich Plasma Injectable Hydrogel with Controlled-Release of Growth Factors for Knee Osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the most common articular diseases globally [1]. Its symptoms include pain and stiffness of the joint, resulting in significant disability and morbidity of the affected population [2]. OA can be classified into primary and secondary according to its aetiology, with the former comprise the majority of the cases. Primary OA is multifactorial in nature and is caused by mechanical stress, inflammation, immunity, genetics and metabolism.
Nano delivery systems in stem cell therapy: Transforming regenerative medicine and overcoming clinical challenges
Stem cell therapy has emerged as a promising approach in regenerative medicine, offering potential treatments for various degenerative diseases and injuries. However, the clinical application of stem cell therapy faces challenges such as low cell viability, inefficient delivery to target sites, and immune rejection. Nanodelivery systems (NDS) have the potential to address these limitations and enhance the efficacy of stem cell-based treatments.
