Effectiveness of FIFA injury prevention programs in reducing ankle injuries among football players: a systematic review.

Background: Ankle injuries are some of the most common injuries among footballers and can prevent players from participating in sport. The Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) developed FIFA injury prevention programs to reduce overall football injuries, but their effectiveness on a particular joint, such as the ankle, was not assessed. Therefore, this project aims to investigate if these FIFA injury prevention programs are particularly effective in reducing ankle injuries.

Butyrate (short-chain fatty acid) alleviates lipopolysaccharide-binding proteins and improves physical function in knee osteoarthritis patients.

Knee-osteoarthritis (OA) is often associated with increased intestinal permeability, potentially causing sarcopenia, and mobility issues. Current treatments are ineffective. The objective of this study was to investigate if butyrate improves sarcopenia and physical function in knee-OA patients, and if improvements correlate with changes in gut health, specifically intestinal permeability, and bacterial load.

Effectiveness of Electromagnetic Field Therapy in Mechanical Low Back Pain: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Background: Between half and three quarters of the working-age population in today's industrialized globe suffers from lower back pain. The presence of a myofascial trigger point-a hyperirritable painful area comprised of a small number of muscle fibers-identifies mechanical back pain sufferers as suffering from myofascial pain syndrome, a chronic pain disorder. This research objectives to determine whether mechanical back pain patients' pain severity and functional disabilities are influenced by electromagnetic field therapy.

Empowering vital fruit crops with enhanced nutritional contents.

Increasing the nutritional value of any crop plant through various Conventional or non-Conventional methods is known as Biofortification. Deficiency of proteins, essential amino acids, vitamins and minerals leads to ailing health and increased vulnerability to various diseases, which in turn lead to uncountable and unpredicted loss in Gross Domestic Product leading to poor economic growth of the country. It is forthcoming and cost-effective approach that will provide a balance of micronutrient deficiency among the people of developing & underdeveloped nations not having the availability to diverse nutritional access.

Associations of plasma Neurofilament light chain with sarcopenia and physical capacity in patients with Alzheimer's diseases.

Background: Despite the close association of Alzheimer's disease (AD) with muscle decline, the biomarkers of age-related muscle loss, termed sarcopenia, in AD remain elusive.

Objectives: We investigated the plasma neurofilament light (NfL) chain levels as potential biomarkers of sarcopenia in AD patients. DESIGN SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, MEASUREMENTS: We conducted a cross-sectional, observational study on older adults, including controls and patients with AD (n = 38-44/group).
