Mosaic Trisomy 5: Prenatal Genetic Diagnosis and Outcomes of a New Case.

Chromosomal mosaicism is defined as the presence of two or more different cell lines in an organism that originate from the same embryo. Trisomy of chromosome 5 is one of the most severe forms of autosomal trisomy and only seven cases of mosaic trisomy 5 have been reported to date. Mosaicism at prenatal level constitutes a challenge in genetic counseling, particularly in the case of mosaic trisomy 5, due to its low incidence.

The Effect of Moderate- Versus High-Intensity Resistance Training on Systemic Redox State and DNA Damage in Healthy Older Women.

Unlabelled: This study investigated effects of a 16-week progressive resistance training program (RTP) with elastic bands at two different intensities on systemic redox state, DNA damage, and physical function in healthy older women.

Methods: Participants were randomly assigned to the high-intensity group (HIGH; n = 39), moderate-intensity group (MOD; n = 31), or control group (CG; n = 23). The exercise groups performed an RTP twice a week with three to four sets of 6 (HIGH) or 15 (MOD) repetitions of six overall body exercises at a perceived exertion rate of 8-9 on the OMNI-Resistance Exercise Scale for use with elastic bands.
