Serum Myonectin Levels Are Positively Associated With Physical Function and Lower Frailty‐Related Limitation in Maintenance Hemodialysis Patients: A Cross‐Sectional Study

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients frequently suffer from frailty, characterized by reduced physical function and poor prognosis. Myokines, such as myonectin, secreted by muscle, are emerging regulators of systemic health. This study investigated the relationship between serum myonectin, adipokines (adiponectin, omentin), and ...

The Use of Manual and Myofascial Therapy Techniques in the Recovery of a Patient with Cervical Disc Herniation

Romanian Journal of Physical Therapy
Introduction: Musculoskeletal disorders that affect the functionality of different body segments, associated with certain comorbidities, can lead to different imbalances in body systems and apparatus. One of the most common musculoskeletal pathologies,

The Primal Matter and the all-pervasive impoverishment of the material world [PDF]

Kom: Časopis za Religijske Nauke, 2017
One of the most important discussions in philosophy is concerned with the Primal Matter. It is also a discussion which has existed from the very conception of philosophy.

Enteropathogenic E. coli shows delayed attachment and host response in human jejunum organoid‐derived monolayers compared to HeLa cells

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC) infects the human intestinal epithelium, resulting in severe illness and diarrhoea. In this study, we compared the infection of cancer‐derived cell lines with human organoid‐derived models of the small intestine. We observed a delayed in attachment, inflammation and cell death on primary cells, indicating that host ...

Blending Physical Knowledge with Mathematical Form in Physics Problem Solving [PDF]

, 2019
Equations are about more than computing physical quantities or constructing formal models; they are also about understanding. The conceptual systems physicists use to think about nature are made from many different resources, formal and not, working together and inextricably linked.

Spatiotemporal and quantitative analyses of phosphoinositides – fluorescent probe—and mass spectrometry‐based approaches

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Fluorescent probes allow dynamic visualization of phosphoinositides in living cells (left), whereas mass spectrometry provides high‐sensitivity, isomer‐resolved quantitation (right). Their synergistic use captures complementary aspects of lipid signaling. This review illustrates how these approaches reveal the spatiotemporal regulation and quantitative

Polar-Twisted, Nano-Modulated Nematics: Form Chirality and Physical Properties

Liquids
Recently, two new polymorphs have been added to the nematic class: the polar-twisted nematic (NPT) in 2016 and the ferroelectric nematic (NF) in 2020. Comprised of achiral molecules, both exhibit local polar ordering and adopt modulated structures, right-

Neighbourhood built environment characteristics associated with different types of physical activity in Canadian adults

Health Promotion and Chronic Disease Prevention in Canada, 2017
Introduction: The aim of this study was to estimate the associations between neighbourhood built environment characteristics and transportation walking (TW), recreational walking (RW), and moderate-intensity (MPA) and vigorous-intensity physical activity

Calpain small subunit homodimerization is robust and calcium‐independent

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Calpains dimerize via penta‐EF‐hand (PEF) domains. Using single‐molecule force spectroscopy, we measured the strength and kinetics of PEF–PEF homodimer binding. The interaction is robust, shows a transient conformational step before dissociation, and remains largely insensitive to Ca2+.

Forms of physical activity of the elderly

European Journal of Clinical and Experimental Medicine, 2020
Introduction. Physical activity is known to be an important factor influencing health throughout human life. This issue has become crucial for public health due to the aging of the population in both developed and developing countries. Aim. is to present a literature review on the forms of physical activity undertaken by the elderly, as well as on ...
