Complexity of synovial fluid-derived monocyte-macrophage-lineage cells in knee osteoarthritis.

Synovial fluid (SF)-derived monocyte-macrophage (MON-Mϕ)-lineage cells in knee osteoarthritis (KOA) remain poorly understood. We analyzed SF samples from 420 patients with KOA with effusion. The MON-Mϕ cells accounted for 47.

Family Care Partners and Paid Caregivers: National Estimates of Role-Sharing in Home Care.

Background And Objectives: We describe "role-sharing" in home care, defined as family care partners and paid caregivers assisting with the same task(s).

Research Design And Methods: We studied 440 participants in the 2015 National Health and Aging Trends Study (NHATS) receiving paid help with self-care, mobility, or medical care. We describe patterns in receiving paid help only, help from care partners only, and role-sharing.

The influence of photobiomodulation on upper body muscular performance in collegiate athletes.

Background: Photobiomodulation (PBM), has been shown to improve muscular performance during single-joint resistance exercises. It is unclear whether this benefit extends to multiple-joint exercises, such as the barbell bench press.

Methods: In a within-group design, 15 collegiate athletes (mean±SD; age 20.

Potential pathways for CO utilization in sustainable aviation fuel synthesis.

The development of sustainable aviation fuels (SAFs) is a must for the decarbonization of the aviation industry. This paper explores various pathways for SAF production, focusing on innovative catalytic processes for the utilization of CO as a potential feedstock. Key pathways analyzed include the Modified Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis (MFTS), methanol synthesis, and subsequent transformations of methanol into hydrocarbons (MTH), aromatics (MTA) and olefin oligomerization.
