Purpose: To investigate the light transmission (LT) of UV-A and green light through infected corneas saturated with riboflavin or rose bengal in an ex vivo porcine model for infectious keratitis.
Setting: University of Zurich and EMPA.
Design: Laboratory study.
Context: Sclerostin inhibits canonical Wnt signaling, a pathway promoting bone formation. The effects of vitamin D3, omega-3 fatty acids (omega-3s), and exercise on serum sclerostin levels and bone metabolism are unclear.
Objective: To investigate the effects of 2000 IU/d vitamin D3, 1g/d omega-3s, and a simple home-based strength exercise program (SHEP), alone or in combination, on serum sclerostin and bone turnover marker levels.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the link between fall risk-increasing drugs (FRIDs) and fall rates among generally healthy older adults living in the community, an area that has not been thoroughly researched before.
- It observes 2,157 participants aged 70 and older over three years to evaluate how FRID use (both single and multiple) correlates with total falls, injurious falls, and recurrent falls.
- Results indicate that a significant portion of participants using FRIDs experienced a higher incidence of falls during the study period, underscoring the potential risks of these medications in older adults.
