Article Synopsis
- - The study investigated the impact of a short opponens splint combined with hand exercises on pain, functionality, daily activities, and work performance in computer engineers suffering from wrist pain.
- - Forty-five engineers were split into three groups: one used both splints and exercises, another did exercises only, and the third had no treatment over 8 weeks.
- - Results showed significant improvements in groups utilizing treatments compared to the no-treatment group, indicating that either splints or exercise were effective, but there was no major difference between the two treatment approaches.
Biocidal functionalization in polyester fibers is a really tough challenge because of the lack of tethering groups. This study indicated supercritical carbon dioxide application using -halamine would be an alternative solution for obtaining antibacterial function on the polyester surface. Firstly, -(2-methyl-1-(4-methyl-2,5-dioxo-imidazolidin-4 yl)propan-2 yl)acrylamide was synthesized and applied to the polyester in supercritical carbon dioxide medium, at 120 °C, 30 MPa for different processing times.

A total of 554 T2D cases and 527 normoglycemic controls were examined for association with T2D and other subphenotypes of T2D. With the exception of a strong association of PPARG2/Pro12Ala with T2D (odds ratio, 0.
