Resolution of inflammation is poorly understood in Achilles tendon disorders. Herein, we investigated the bioactive lipid mediator profiles of tendon-derived stromal cells isolated from patients with Achilles tendinopathy (AT) or Achilles rupture (AR) under baseline and IL-1β-stimulated conditions. We also determined whether incubating these cells with 2 of the mediators produced by tendon-derived stromal cells, 15-epi-Lipoxin A (15-epi-LXA) or maresin (MaR)-1, moderated their proinflammatory phenotype.

Walking can also be promoted using population health approaches. We systematically reviewed the effectiveness of population approaches to promote walking among individuals and populations.

- - Recent research indicates that inflammation plays a crucial role in the development and worsening of tendon diseases, particularly in the Achilles tendon, which has not been as thoroughly studied as the rotator cuff tendons.
- - Biopsies from patients with Achilles tendinopathy or rupture showed high levels of inflammation markers, including specific immune cells (CD14+ and CD68+), and activation of inflammatory pathways, suggesting chronic inflammation in these conditions.
- - Findings imply that both acute inflammation and chronic inflammatory responses are involved in Achilles tendon injuries, and targeting chronic inflammation could offer new treatment options.
Starvation Resulting From Inadequate Dietary Planning for a 50-Day Rowing Expedition.

Unlabelled: Meeting the energy demands of prolonged arduous expeditions and endurance sport may be a significant barrier to success. Expedition rowing is associated with high levels of body-mass loss, reflecting the challenge of meeting energy expenditure in this exacting environment.
Purpose: To use the doubly labeled water (DLW) technique to calculate the total energy expenditure (TEE) and body-composition changes of two 28-y-old healthy male athletes during a 50-d continuous and unsupported row around Great Britain.
