Physical Activity and Exercise Interventions in Abdominal Wall Hernia Patients: Impact on Quality of Life and Health Outcomes - A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Objective: Abdominal wall hernias are a common pathology in the surgical field, often leading to symptoms such as pain and tightness that can significantly reduce quality of life. Some studies have suggested that exercise and physical activity may improve both quality of life and health outcomes. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of exercise on quality of life and health outcomes in abdominal wall hernia patients through a qualitative systematic review and a quantitative meta-analysis.

Osteoblastoma of the temporal bone.

Benign osteoblastoma is an uncommon primary tumor of the bone. Any area of the skeleton may be affected by this tumor, but its occurrence in the temporal bone and middle ear is extremely rare. Clinical symptoms are nonspecific, even in the middle ear, and the diagnosis is often difficult in spite a complete physical and radiological examination.

High prevalence of human papillomavirus type 58 in patients with cervical pre-malignant lesions in southern Brazil.

Cervical cancer is the second most common type of cancer in women worldwide. Several human papillomavirus (HPV) genotypes, sexual behavior, and socioeconomic profile represent major risk factors for the development of this carcinoma. Cervical invasive cancer is preceded by cellular abnormalities that can be identified by cytological or histological exams.

Aging defined by a chronologic-replicative protein network in Saccharomyces cerevisiae: an interactome analysis.

Aging is a multifactorial condition that results in the loss of an organism's fitness over time. Different theories have been formulated to explain the mechanisms of aging, but a synthesis of these theories has not been possible until now. In addition, the increase in molecular data gathered by proteomics projects utilizing different organisms has permitted a better picture of proteins that function in aging.

In silico analyses of a new group of fungal and plant RecQ4-homologous proteins.

Bacterial and eukaryotic RecQ helicases comprise a family of homologous proteins necessary for maintaining genomic integrity during the cell cycle and DNA repair. There is one known bacterial RecQ helicase, and five eukaryotic RecQ helicases that have been described: RecQ1p, RecQ4p, RecQ5p, Bloom, and Werner. While the biochemical functions of Bloom and Werner helicases are well understood, the same is not true for RecQ4p helicase.
