Effects of blenderized watermelon consumption on satiety and postprandial glucose in overweight and obese adolescents.

Background: Watermelon and its rind are rich in fiber, vitamins, minerals, and L-citrulline. Despite these nutritional benefits, research on the effects of blenderized watermelon (WM), especially in adolescents, remains limited. This study aimed to address this gap by examining the impact of blenderized WM (, including both flesh and rind) on satiety, postprandial glucose responses, and overall acceptability among overweight and obese adolescents.

The engagement of healthcare providers in implementing the selfBACK randomised controlled trial - A mixed-methods process evaluation.

Background: People with low back pain (LBP) are often recommended to self-manage their condition, but it can be challenging without support. Digital health interventions (DHIs) have shown promise in supporting self-management of LBP, but little is known about healthcare providers' (HCPs) engagement in implementing these.

Aims: We aimed to examine HCPs' engagement in patient recruitment for the selfBACK app clinical trial and explore their perceptions of the app.

Organizational strategies of eldercare work and health - Is the daily number of residents cared for over 14 months associated with back pain?

Objectives: The growing care demands of an aging population and a smaller workforce is a big societal problem. Therefore, knowledge on how to organize eldercare work without hampering workers` health is needed. We aimed to investigate if workers` daily number of residents cared for over 14 months is associated with low-back pain in eldercare workers.

In vivo scanning laser fundus and high-resolution OCT imaging of retinal ganglion cell injury in a non-human primate model with an activatable fluorescent-labeled TAT peptide probe.

The optical imaging agent TcapQ488 has enabled imaging of retinal ganglion cell (RGC) injury in vivo in rodents and has potential as an effective diagnostic probe for early detection and intervention monitoring in glaucoma patients. In the present study, we investigated TcapQ488 in non-human primates (NHPs) to identify labeling efficacy and early signals of injured RGC, to determine species-dependent changes in RGC probe uptake and clearance, and to determine dose-limiting toxicities. Doses of 3, 6, and 12 nmol of TcapQ488 were delivered intravitreally to normal healthy NHP eyes and eyes that had undergone hemiretinal endodiathermy axotomy (HEA) in the inferior retina.

Accuracy and reliability of the AO/OTA classification for tibial shaft fractures.

Background: Available literature lacks information regarding the accuracy and reliability of the AO/OTA classification for tibial shaft fractures. This study aimed to assess the inter- and intra-observer agreement and accuracy of the AO/OTA 42 classification (4-signs) for adult patients with tibial shaft fractures.

Materials And Methods: The study design is an accuracy, inter- and intra-observer agreement study.
