Dissociation Between Instrumented Mobility and Self-Reported Function in Adults Aged 70 Years or Older After Unilateral Total Knee Arthroplasty: A Preliminary Longitudinal Study Using an Inertial Sensor and the WOMAC

Background and Objectives: Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) reliably reduces pain and improves self-reported function, yet objective mobility may remain impaired in older adults. We examined the relationship between inertial-sensor-based mobility and the Western Ontario and McMaster...

Salivary biomarkers of inflammation, angiogenesis, and aging in hookah smokers, cigarette smokers, and non-smokers

Hookah smoking is an increasingly prevalent form of tobacco consumption, particularly among young adults. Although conventional cigarette smoking is well established as a modulator of inflammatory and biological processes in the oral environment, salivary inflammatory and protect...

From Pineapple Crown Waste to Functional Cellulose and Carboxymethylcellulose: Processing–Structure–Function Relationships for Circular Biorefinery Applications

Pineapple crown waste is a cellulose-rich residue generated along fresh-fruit and processing chains and is increasingly investigated as a feedstock for higher-value cellulosic materials. This review critically examines conversion of pineapple crown and related residues into cellu...

SGA-based volleyball teaching with explicit life skills instruction is associated with technical-tactical, psychosocial, and motivational improvements in school students

This quasi-experimental study examined whether a school volleyball unit based on the Step-Game-Approach model combined with explicit life skills teaching (SGA + LS) was associated with changes in technical-tactical performance, life skills, motivation, and perception of success....

Role of aerobic exercise training on myocardial infarction induced-cardiac dysfunction, dysautonomia and oxidative stress in female ob/ob mice.

We investigated the effects of aerobic exercise training (ET) on cardiac function, autonomic modulation, and inflammatory and oxidative stress markers in an experimental model of diabetes and obesity underwent myocardial infarction (MI). Female ob/ob mice were randomized into: sh...
