Impact of a Long-Term Home-Based Rehabilitation Program on Quality of Life, Balance, and Autonomy in Adults with Disabilities.

Background: Rehabilitation is a critical process for enhancing functionality, independence, and quality of life in individuals with disabilities. Grounded in the biopsychosocial model, it addresses physical, emotional, and social dimensions through personalized, evidence-based interventions. By integrating standardized assessments and continuous evaluation, rehabilitation has the potential to promote recovery and support active participation in society.

Study of the effect of bleaching agents on the crystalline index of cellulose-based materials derived from corn husk by CP/MAS C NMR and FT-IR spectroscopies.

This work proposes an evaluation of the Crystalline Index (CrI) in function of the bleaching process employed during cellulose extraction from corn husk, for further characterization using CP/MAS C NMR, XRD, and FT-IR. In that sense, CrI values were calculated by FT-IR and the bands associated with the crystalline and amorphous regions were observed at 1424 cm and 896 cm, respectively. Similarly, the signals due to ordered (89.

Comparative Analysis of Ventilatory Responses during Stress Tests in Patients with Chronic Pain: Implications for Therapeutic Interventions.

Understanding the differences in ventilatory responses during exercise between patients with fibromyalgia and those with other chronic pain disorders is crucial for developing effective therapeutic interventions, especially in exercise to identify the better physical therapy prescription. Both populations face unique challenges that impact their ability to engage in physical activity; yet, the underlying physiological responses can vary significantly. In this context, the methodology of this study entailed conducting a comparative analysis of the ventilatory response during exercise in patients with fibromyalgia and those with other chronic pain disorders.

Sex-dependent niche responses modulate steady-state and regenerative hematopoiesis.

Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) adapt to organismal blood production needs by balancing self-renewal and differentiation, adjusting to physiological demands and external stimuli. Although sex differences have been implicated in differential hematopoietic function in males versus females, the mediators responsible for these effects require further study. Here, we characterized hematopoiesis at a steady state and during regeneration following hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HST).
