Due to the high mortality rate of ovarian cancer, there is a need to find novel strategies to improve current treatment modalities. Natural compounds offer great potential in this field but also require the careful design of systems for their delivery to cancer cells. Our study explored the anticancer effects of novel resveratrol (RSV)- and curcumin (CUR)-loaded core-shell nanoparticles in human ovarian cancer cells.

The Europa Imaging System (EIS) consists of a Narrow-Angle Camera (NAC) and a Wide-Angle Camera (WAC) that are designed to work together to address high-priority science objectives regarding Europa's geology, composition, and the nature of its ice shell. EIS accommodates variable geometry and illumination during rapid, low-altitude flybys with both framing and pushbroom imaging capability using rapid-readout, 8-megapixel (4k × 2k) detectors. Color observations are acquired using pushbroom imaging with up to six broadband filters.

Article Synopsis
  • ACL injuries and their reinjury rates are rising despite advances in surgical techniques and prevention programs, showing the need for better rehabilitation approaches that consider neurocognitive deficits that persist after injury.
  • The clinical question focuses on whether incorporating neurocognitive training into rehabilitation can enhance recovery and reduce the risk of re-injury in athletes post-ACL reconstruction.
  • The conclusion suggests updating rehabilitation protocols post-ACLR to include neuroplastic and cognitive training, which could better prepare athletes for the dynamic nature of sports and lower their chances of reinjury.

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury rates are on the rise, despite improved surgical techniques and prevention programs. While traditional rehabilitation emphasizes the restoration of motion, strength, and physical performance, emerging research highlights the importance of addressing neurocognitive deficits that can persist after injury. These deficits, including altered proprioception, impaired motor control and muscle recruitment, as well as heightened reliance on visual feedback, can significantly increase the risk of re-injury and impede return to sport.
