Background: The core is important in providing local strength and balance and is central to almost all kinetic chains of daily activities.
Objective: This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of additional Core Stability Exercises (CSE) to conventional physiotherapy (CP) versus CP alone to improve dynamic sitting balance, coordination, trunk function, and stepping (gait) as a primary outcome and functional sitting balance, postural control, standing balance and fall risk, lower limb spasticity, activities of daily living, degree of disability, and quality of life for early subacute stroke recovery.
Methods: A multicentre parallel, randomized, controlled, assessor-blinded trial was conducted.
Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the relationship between mineral metabolism (MM) and cardiac rehabilitation (CR) in patients who experienced acute coronary syndrome (ACS).
- A total of 58 patients undergoing CR were compared with 116 control patients, revealing significant differences in hypertension prevalence and medication use.
- Results showed that after six months, klotho levels increased significantly in CR patients, while controls experienced a decrease, suggesting a potential positive effect of CR on MM that warrants further exploration.
Aims: Abnormalities of mineral metabolism (MM) have been related to cardiovascular disorders. There are no reports on the prognostic role of MM after an acute coronary syndrome (ACS). We aim to assess the prognostic role of MM after an ACS.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFTwo-dimensional conjugated polymers (2DCPs), composed of multiple strands of linear conjugated polymers with extended in-plane π-conjugation, are emerging crystalline semiconducting polymers for organic (opto)electronics. They are represented by two-dimensional π-conjugated covalent organic frameworks, which typically suffer from poor π-conjugation and thus low charge carrier mobilities. Here we overcome this limitation by demonstrating two semiconducting phthalocyanine-based poly(benzimidazobenzophenanthroline)-ladder-type 2DCPs (2DCP-MPc, with M = Cu or Ni), which are constructed from octaaminophthalocyaninato metal(II) and naphthalenetetracarboxylic dianhydride by polycondensation under solvothermal conditions.

- Porphyrins are aromatic compounds useful for solar energy applications, but their ability to absorb sunlight effectively is limited by a large optical energy gap.
- By fusing porphyrins with nanographenes, researchers can reduce this energy gap, allowing for the creation of panchromatic dyes that can more efficiently convert solar energy.
- Advanced techniques, like time-dependent density functional theory, show that this combination enhances the formation of certain triplet states, which could improve interactions with electron scavenging materials in solar technologies.
