Objectives: Special aerial gymnastics instruments (SAGI) are permanent elements of specialist training for cadet pilots. Appropriate physical activity and fitness are essential for performing the tasks of military pilots. Therefore, one of the main goals of cadet training is to develop adaptation to the extreme conditions of a military pilot's work.

Current treatments, including nerve transplantation and drug therapies, face limitations such as invasiveness and incomplete recovery of nerve function. Physical therapies, like pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMF) and low-intensity ultrasound (LIPUS), are gaining attention for their potential to enhance regeneration.

Depression arises from intricate interplay among social, psychological, and biological factors. Recently, there has been growing focus on the involvement of miRNAs in depression, with suggestions that abnormal miRNA processing locally at the synapse contributes to MDD.

This study investigates the protective effects of noradrenaline (NA) on human microglial cells exposed to lipopolysaccharides (LPS) and Aβ aggregates-major contributors to inflammation and cellular damage in AD. The reduced Aβ aggregation in the HMC3 human microglial cells co-treated with Aβ and NA was confirmed by thioflavin T (ThT) assay, fluorescent ThT staining, and immunocytochemistry (ICC).

In this study; we aimed to investigate the gene expression and plasma protein levels of three neuroprotective genes-heat shock proteins (HSP90 and HSP60) and glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF)-in MS patients compared to healthy controls. Forty patients with relapsing-remitting MS and 40 healthy volunteers participated in this study.
