Background: Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) can perform tasks of key relevance in fat cells, contributing, when defective, to the burden of obesity and its sequelae. Here, scrutiny of adipose tissue transcriptomes before and after bariatric surgery (GSE53378) granted identification of 496 lncRNAs linked to the obese phenotype. Only expression of linc-GALNTL6-4 displayed an average recovery over 2-fold and FDR-adjusted p-value <0.

- Some breast cancer patients continue to relapse because their cancer becomes resistant to treatment.
- This study focused on a group of tiny molecules called microRNAs, specifically the microRNA-449 family, and how they are involved in making breast cancer more resistant to a drug called doxorubicin.
- The researchers found that levels of these microRNAs are low in a specific type of breast cancer (triple-negative), and they could be helpful for doctors to diagnose and treat this kind of cancer better.
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a disease with a high prevalence and major impact on global health. Body composition (BC) data are of great importance in the assessment of nutritional status. Ultrasound (US) is an emerging, accessible and non-invasive technique that could be an alternative when it is not feasible to perform computed tomography (CT).
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: This study focuses on the relationship between forearm muscles, carpal ligaments, and their impact on scapholunate joint stability across varying forearm rotations. This is crucial for optimizing pre and postoperative rehabilitation strategies for scapholunate joint dysfunction.
Purpose: Our study aims to understand the kinetic influence of forearm muscles on scapholunate joint instability.
Background: Recent research interest has grown in exploring the role of muscles, isometric contraction, proprioception, and neuromuscular control in addressing dynamic scapholunate and lunotriquetral joint instability, marking a shift in the understanding of wrist stability.
Purpose: To present a comprehensive review of the carpal ligaments anatomy and wrist biomechanics, with a particular focus on the role of proprioception in dynamic carpal stability and their role in managing scapholunate (SL) and lunotriquetral (LTq) dynamic instabilities.
Study Design: We conducted a systematic search of the literature and review of the most relevant papers published and indexed in pubmed, related to wrist biomechanics, proprioception and its contribution to carpal dynamic stability.
