Introduction: Pulsed Signal Therapy (PST) is a form of therapy that involves directing a series of magnetic pulses through injured tissue. Each magnetic pulse induces a tiny electrical signal that stimulates cellular repair. PST has been used in the treatment of chronic pain associated with connective (bone, cartilage, tendon) tissue injury. A review of the current literature indicates that PST...

The wheat stripe rust fungus, Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst), does not have a known alternate host for sexual reproduction, which makes it impossible to study gene linkages through classic genetic and molecular mapping approaches. In this study, we compared 4,219 Pst expression sequence tags (ESTs) to the genomic sequence of P. graminis f. sp. tritici (Pgt), the wheat stem rust fungu...

Several studies suggest that patient self-management (PSM) may improve the quality of oral anticoagulation therapy as measured by time spent within the international normalised ratio (INR) target range. We performed a prospective randomised control trial to determine whether the improvement in quality of treatment afforded by PSM is greater than that achieved by patient self-testing (PST) alone...

OBJECTIVE To provide preliminary evidence for the impact of problem-solving therapy for diabetes (PST-D) in adults with diabetic retinopathy (DR) and diabetes distress. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS In a pilot randomized controlled trial, 40 participants with DR and diabetes distress were allocated to the PST-D or control groups. Diabetes distress (DDS), depressive symptoms (PHQ-9), self-care a...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to determine the effect of psychosocial skills training (PST) on symptomatology, insight, quality of life, and suicide probability in patients with schizophrenia. METHOD The sample consisted of 22 schizophrenic outpatients diagnosed according to DSM-IV diagnostic criteria. Three PST groups were formed and each group's training lasted approximately 6 months....

BACKGROUND Acute renal injury (AKI) is a common renal complication after cardiac surgery. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of perioperative statin therapy (PST) on postoperative renal outcome in patients undergoing cardiac procedures. METHODS We searched for the reports that evaluating the effect of PST on renal outcomes after cardiac surgery between March 1983 and June 2016 ...
