Fingertip skin autofluorescence as a non‐invasive marker for vascular complications in patients with type 2 diabetes

open access: yesJournal of Diabetes Investigation, EarlyView.
This multicenter study demonstrated that fingertip autofluorescence, measured non‐invasively, correlates with clinical risk factors and vascular complications in patients with type 2 diabetes. Our findings suggest that fingertip autofluorescence may serve as a convenient marker for evaluating both microvascular and macrovascular complications in ...

Achilles tenocytes from diabetic and non diabetic donors exposed to hyperglycemia respond differentially to inflammatory stimuli and stretch

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Scheme depicting the experimental set up of the study. Achilles tendons and tenocytes were isolated from heterozygous (fa/+, non diabetic: non DMT2) and homozygous (fa/fa, diabetic: DMT2) Zucker Diabetic Fatty (ZDF) rats. Tendon degeneration, collagen type 1 alpha 1 chain (COL1A1) and alpha smooth muscle actin (αSMA) expression was determined in rat ...

Collagen organisation in the fibrous joint capsules in the digits of the human hand

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
The function of the finger joints is important for daily life. In this review of the literature, we consider the role of collagen and its organization within the fibrous finger joint capsules of the interphalangeal (IP) joints and investigate the relationships between collagen orientation and joint function. Abstract Normal function of the hand and, in

Multidimensional associations of physical performance, balance, wellness and daily activities with frailty in older adults with coexisting frailty and diabetes

open access: yesJournal of Clinical Nursing, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The coexistence of frailty and type 2 diabetes mellitus in the older population heightens the risk of adverse events. However, research on functional and wellness factors associated with frailty in this population is limited. Purpose To investigate the associations of physical performance, functional dependency, physical activity ...

The Gfr Uptake System Provides a Context‐Dependent Fitness Advantage to Salmonella Typhimurium SL1344 During the Initial Gut Colonization Phase

open access: yesMolecular Microbiology, EarlyView.
Diet–microbiota interactions shape colonization resistance. While the microbiota restricts pathogens like Salmonella through nutrient competition, Salmonella can exploit private nutrients such as fructoselysine (FL), abundant in processed foods but inaccessible to most microbes.

Regional corneal biomechanics assessment as a function of age using Strain–Stress Index maps

open access: yesOphthalmic and Physiological Optics, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To gain a better understanding of corneal Stress–Strain Index (SSI) maps in healthy eyes and to determine their changes with age. Method The eyes of 72 participants (age 43.1 ± 20.9 years, 69.5% female) were included in the analysis, considering the left and right eyes separately.
