Construction Remedy involving Nano-Crystalline Small Substances Using MicroED along with Solid-State NMR Dipolar-Based Studies.
The scores of BBS, TUG, PASE, EQ-5D and POMA (balance and gait subscores) of the aged who have a fear of falling were significantly different from the control group (p<0.001). Additionally, the completion time of both TUG
and TUG
test of the aged who have a fear of falling was significantly longer than the control group (p<0.001).

There were in deterioration in balance, dual task performance and quality of life and a decrease in physical activity level in elderly individuals in elderly with fear of falling.

Parkinson's disease is a common neurodegenerative problem. Pramipexole (PPX) plays protective role in Parkinson's disease. Nevertheless, the mechanism of PPX in Parkinson's disease-like neuronal injury is largely uncertain.

1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium (MPP
)-stimulated neuronal cells and 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP)-induced mice were used as the model of Parkinson's disease. MPP
-induced neuronal injury was assessed via cell viability, lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) release and apoptosis. microRNA-96 (miR-96) and BCL2/adenovirus E1B 19kDa interacting protein 3 (BNIP3) abundances were examined by quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) or Western blotting. Mitophagy was tested by Western blotting and immunofluorescence staining. MPTP-induced neuronal injury in mice was investigated via behavioral tests and TUNEL.

PPX alleviated MPP
-induced neuronal injury via increasing cell viability and decreasing LDH release and apoptosis. PPX reversed MPP
-induced miR-96 expression and inhibition of mitophagy. miR-96 overexpression or BNIP3 interference weakened the suppressive role of PPX in MPP
-induced neuronal injury. miR-96 targeted BNIP3 to inhibit PTEN-induced putative kinase 1 (PINK1)/Parkin signals-mediated mitophagy. miR-96 overexpression promoted MPP
-induced neuronal injury via decreasing BNIP3. PPX weakened MPTP-induced neuronal injury in mice via regulating miR-96/BNIP3-mediated mitophagy.

PPX mitigated neuronal injury in MPP
-induced cells and MPTP-induced mice by activating BNIP3-mediated mitophagy via directly decreasing miR-96.

This study aimed to establish the topographical and zonal T2 patterns of multi-resolution MRI in medial tibial cartilage in a canine model of osteoarthritis (OA), initiated by the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) transection surgery, and studied after 8-weeks and 12-weeks post-surgery.

Articular cartilage from healthy, two stages of contralateral, and of OA knees were quantitatively imaged by the MRI T2 protocols at two imaging resolutions (100 and 17.6μm/pixel). The zonal T2 changes at five topographical locations (anterior (AMT), exterior (EMT), posterior (PMT), central (CMT) and interior (IMT) medial tibia) and subsequent two averaged regions (covered by meniscus and exposed) were analyzed. At each location, full-thickness cartilage was studied in four sub-tissue zones (superficial, transitional, upper and lower radial zones).

Tissue degradation can be detected by measurable changes of T2, which is resolution- and orientation-dependent. T2 changes ranging from +28.82% increase (SZ, PMT) to -23.15% decrease (RZ1, AMT) in healthy to disease (8C), with the largest increase of T2 in the surface tissue. Various location-dependent patterns of degradation are found over the tibial surface, most commonly shown in early-stage OA (8C) on the anterior site, different from the posterior. Finally, the contralateral cartilage has specific degradation patterns, different from those in OA cartilage.

This is the first quantitative and highest multi-resolution characterization of cartilage at five topographical locations over the medial tibial plateau with fine zonal resolution in an animal model of OA, which would benefit future investigation of human OA in clinics.

The DAR Global survey of Ramadan-fasting during the COVID-19 pandemic aimed to describe the characteristics and care in participants with type 2 diabetes (T2D) with a specific comparison between those <65years and ≥65years.

Participants were consented to answer a physician-administered questionnaire following Ramadan 2020. Impact of COVID-19 on the decision of fasting, intentions to fast and duration of Ramadan and Shawal fasting, hypoglycaemia and hyperglycaemia events were assessed. Specific analysis comparing age categories of <65years and ≥65years were performed.

Among the 5865 participants, 22.5% were ≥65years old. Concern for COVID-19 affected fasting decision for 7.6% (≥65years) vs 5.4% (<65years). More participants ≥65years old did not fast (28.8% vs 12.7%, <65years). Of the 83.6%, participants fulfilling Ramadan-fasting, 94.8% fasted ≥15days and 12.6% had to break fast due to diabetes-related illness. The average number of days fasting within and post-Ramadan were 27 and 6days respees education and self-monitoring to reduce and prevent complications, with particular emphasis in older adults.
Diabetes mellitus imposes a significant burden around the world generally and in the Middle East and North Africa specifically. Glucose monitoring is a cornerstone of diabetes management.

Glycated haemoglobin has always been the main metric for assessing glycaemic control, but its use is linked with multiple pitfalls. As an alternative, continuous glucose monitoring is becoming a standard of care in many countries. Intermittent scanning glucose monitoring (isCGM) has acquired a worldwide popularity and has been proven to improve glycaemic control, hypoglycaemia detection and prevention, and quality of life.

The most recent International Society of Paediatric and Adolescent Diabetes practice. guidelines recommended its use in young people with diabetes observing Ramadan to ensure safe fasting. At a meeting in Abu Dhabi in November 2019, the Arab Society for Paediatric. Endocrinology and Diabetes brought together a number of regional diabetes experts, patient. BIBR 1532 representatives and international expert advisors to review the evidence for isCGM and propose.
