Foot position during landing directly influences knee mechanics. Thus, the purpose of this study was to determine success in practicing, repeating, and transferring a desired foot progression angle (FPA) during landing, as well as changes in knee mechanics. Twenty females were randomly assigned to a control or verbal instruction group.

The antibacterial properties of Cu/CMC and Ag/CMC were assessed on infected porcine intestinal enterocyte IPEC-J2, an in vitro model mimicking the small intestine. The lower average particle size (218 nm) and polydispersity index [PDI]: 0.

- The study investigated contamination in raw milk and cheese from small farms in Brazil, focusing on various pathogenic bacteria and their characteristics.
- Pathogenic strains, including EPEC, STEC, and ExPEC, were found in both milk and cheese, with high antimicrobial resistance to several common antibiotics.
- Genetic analysis showed that identical virulence genes appeared at different production stages, indicating widespread contamination risks and the urgent need for improved hygiene practices.
