Background: Menopause driven decline in estrogen exposes women to risk of osteoporosis. Detection of early onset and silent progression are keys to prevent fractures and associated burdens.
Methods: In a discovery cohort of 120 postmenopausal women, we combined repeated quantitative pulse-echo ultrasonography of bone, assessment of grip strength and serum bone markers with mass-spectrometric analysis of exhaled metabolites to find breath volatile markers and quantitative cutoff levels for osteoporosis.
Although both central and peripheral inflammation have been observed consistently in depression, the relationship between the two remains obscure. Extra-axial immune cells may play a role in mediating the connection between central and peripheral immunity. This study investigates the potential roles of calvarial bone marrow and parameningeal spaces in mediating interactions between central and peripheral immunity in depression.

White light was used rather than the commonly used near-infrared light, which is unsuitable for the examination of diffractive IOLs. For this purpose, a special optical setup was developed to investigate the influence of the IOL design on two-dimensional retinal images .

- - The study investigates the impact of mindfulness-based online yoga on emotional distress and quality of life for high-grade glioma patients and their caregivers compared to a waiting control group receiving standard care.
- - Conducted as a multicentre randomized controlled trial, it involves an 8-week online yoga intervention alongside data collection for stress and anxiety using questionnaires and biological samples.
- - The primary focus is on measuring anxiety levels, with additional outcomes including fear of disease progression, depression, and overall quality of life, aiming to determine if yoga leads to better mental health results compared to the control group.
