Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates frozen shoulder syndrome, which causes pain and limited movement, focusing on the differences in posture and shoulder motion between primary and secondary cases in 55 female patients.
- - Using various measurement tools, results revealed that those with primary frozen shoulder exhibited greater rounded shoulder and kyphosis angles compared to those with secondary frozen shoulder, indicating worse posture.
- - Although overall shoulder motion was similar between groups, the primary frozen shoulder group struggled more with external rotation, highlighting distinct postural issues and movement limitations.
Background: Current evidence suggests that health literacy (HL) impacts self-care behaviors and quality of life (QOL) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). This study aimed to evaluate the impact of a short-time health literacy promotion program (HeLPP) on self-care behaviors and QOL in rural patients with type 2 diabetes.
Methods: Conducted from 2018 to 2019 in Chaldoran county, Iran, this randomized controlled trial followed the Solomon four-group design.
Encapsulation of essential oils (EOs) is an important strategy that can be applied to intensify the stability and efficiency of these compounds in integrated pest management. The present study aimed to investigate the sub-lethal activity of polymer-based EOs nanoparticles against red flour beetle, Tribolium castaneum adults as an important critical pest of stored products. Chitosan nanoparticles (CSNPs) containing garlic and cinnamon essential oils (GEO and CEO) prepared using the ionic cross-link technique.

Methods: A comparative cross-sectional analysis of upper eyelid curvature was performed for different severities of patients with unilateral blepharoptosis (congenital and aponeurotic) and normal controls. Mean upper lid contour index (ULCI) and area circularity index (ACI) were calculated for each group by dividing the intercanthal distance by upper eyelid margin length (ULCI) and dividing the interpalpebral area by the area of a circle enclosing the eye (ACI).
Conventional techniques for purifying macromolecular conjugates often require complex and costly installments that are inaccessible to most laboratories. In this work, we develop a one-step micropreparative method based on a trilayered polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (MP-PAGE) setup to purify biological samples, synthetic nanoparticles, as well as biohybrid complexes. We apply this method to recover DNA from a ladder mixture with yields of up to 90%, compared to the 58% yield obtained using the conventional crush-and-soak method.
