Treatment of Gluteal Tendinopathy: A Systematic Review and Stage-Adjusted Treatment Recommendation

Background: Gluteal tendinopathy is the most common lower limb tendinopathy. It presents with varying severity but may cause debilitating lateral hip pain. Purpose: To review the therapeutic options for different stages of gluteal tendinopa...

Hesperidin encapsulation in mung bean isolate protein-dextran conjugate-stabilized nanoemulsions: Preparation and characterization

Encapsulation and protection of hesperidin (HES) in mung bean protein isolate (MPI)-dextran (DX) conjugate-stabilized nanoemulsions (MDC NEs) were investigated in this study. The degree of grafting of MDC prepared by a dry-heating method re...

Health technology assessment in Mexico

OBJECTIVES: The history of health technology assessment (HTA) in Mexico is examined, starting with the efforts to incorporate this topic into the policy agenda and culminating with the recent creation of a specialized public agency. METHODS...

Geometric nonlinear analysis of Timoshenko beams with variable cross-section using co-rotational formulation

The geometrically nonlinear analysis of Timoshenko beams with variable cross-sections remains a challenging task in engineering practice, particularly for structures subjected to large deformations. While co-rotational (CR) formulations hav...

Psychosocial Risk Factors on Mining Workers Processing Copper and Gold Minerals during Covid-19 Pandemic

Introduction: In the era of the Covid-19 pandemic, psychosocial issues as part of health and safety have become a popular mental health issue, particularly among gold and copper miners. This situation has led some companies to fire their un...

Rap GTPase Interactor: A Potential Marker for Cancer Prognosis Following Kidney Transplantation

Post-transplant (post-Tx) kidney cancer has become the second-highest cause of death in kidney recipients. Late diagnosis and treatment are the main reasons for high mortality. Further research into early diagnosis and potential treatment i...

Association between Higher Blood Pressure and Risk of Diabetes Mellitus in Middle-Aged and Elderly Chinese Adults

BackgroundTo examine the prospective association between higher blood pressure (BP) and risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in middle-aged and elderly Chinese adults.MethodsA total of 9,642 middle-aged and elderly Chinese adults (≥45 ye...

Formation and Analysis of Volatile and Odor Compounds in Meat—A Review

The volatile composition and odor of meat and meat products is based on the precursors present in the raw meat. These are influenced by various pre-slaughter factors (species, breed, sex, age, feed, muscle type). Furthermore, post-mortem co...

Semi-enclosed experimental system for coal spontaneous combustion for determining regional distribution of high-temperature zone of coal fire

Abstract Temperature variation and gas generation at different depths and positions in the coal combustion process were studied to determine the propagation and evolution of high temperature regions in the process of coal spontaneous combus...

Healthy lifestyle attenuates the clonal hematopoiesis-associated coronary artery disease risk

Lifestyle factors and clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP) both contribute to the risk of developing coronary artery disease (CAD), but whether a healthy lifestyle could attenuate CHIP-related CAD risk is unknown. A total ...

Spatiotemporal analysis of hospitalizations, mortality and access to intravenous thrombolysis for ischemic stroke in Southern Brazil

Abstract Background Globally, stroke is a leading cause of mortality and disability, affecting approximately 15 million people annually. This study aimed to analyze hospitalizations, deaths, and thrombolysis for ischemic stroke in Southern ...

Expression of Renal Vitamin D and Phosphatonin-Related Genes in a Sheep Model of Osteoporosis

Osteoporosis is a significant public health issue around the world, with post-menopausal osteoporosis due to estrogen deficiency resulting in approximately ¾ of cases. In this study, 18 aged Merino ewes were ovariectomized, and 10 were cont...

Effects of maternal exercise during pregnancy on neonatal weight and subcutaneous fat thickness

BackgroundExercise during pregnancy is closely related to maternal and infant health. Previous studies in developed countries have linked maternal exercise during pregnancy with newborn body weight as well as subcutaneous fat thickness. How...
