Introduction: Overuse injuries are common in sports involving jumping, running, and landing, due to the repetitive nature of these activities and the strain they place on the lower extremity. The objective of the study was to determine the role of strengthening exercises in the management of overuse sports injuries of lower extremity and its effects on prevention of injury recurrence.

Evidence Acquisition: This study employed a systematic review design.

High-risk hypertension patients are more susceptible to cardiovascular disease, stroke, and mortality. Monotherapy and triple combination drug therapy are two different approaches to treating hypertension. Monotherapy involves using a single medication to manage hypertension, whereas triple combination therapy involves the simultaneous use of three different antihypertensive medications from different drug classes.

There is a developing trend of using wearable electronic devices as health aides, spurred on by telecommunication companies as fitness devices and marketed as such. They have been shown to count steps, pulse, and record arrhythmias, doubling as communication devices and prompting healthcare providers in some instances. We sought to determine if there was a direct correlation between device use and increased physical activity as recommended by the World Health Organization, or if this physical activity increase was only marginal at best.

Multidrug-resistant/rifampicin-resistant tuberculosis (MDR/RR TB) is a global concern, with 450,000 new cases and 191,000 deaths in 2021. TB and chronic kidney disease (CKD) have been associated since 1974, with suggested explanations such as oxidative stress, malnutrition, dysfunction in vitamin D metabolism, and a compromised cell-mediated immune response. End-stage renal failure patients are more likely to acquire drug resistance due to poor adherence, adverse drug reactions, and inappropriate dose adjustment.

The production of vaccines in plant cells, termed plant-made pharmaceuticals or molecular farming, is a promising technology for scalable production. Compared to mammalian cell lines, like Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) or bacterial cells, plants can be grown with less cost on a large scale to make vaccines antigens and therapeutics affordable and accessible worldwide. An innovative application of this alternative system is the production of vaccines in edible tissues that can be consumed orally to deliver protein antigen without any further processing.
