Objective: Amnion allograft injections have emerged as potential regenerative therapy for degenerative musculoskeletal diseases. In this study, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the effectiveness of amnion allograph injections in patients with degenerative musculoskeletal diseases.
Design: A search was conducted across the PubMed, Embase, Cochrane, and Web of Science databases to identify studies reporting on amnion allograft injections in patients with degenerative musculoskeletal diseases.
Controlling the redox ability is crucial for optimizing catalytic processes in clean energy, environmental protection, and CO reduction, as it directly influences the reaction efficiency and electron transfer rates, driving sustainable and effective outcomes. Here, we report the plasma-electrified synthesis of composition-controlled FeAu bimetallic nanoparticles, specifically engineered to enhance the redox catalytic performance through precise tuning of their chemical states. Utilizing atmospheric-pressure microplasmas, FeAu nanoparticles were synthesized under ambient conditions without the need for reducing agents or organic solvents, thereby providing a green and sustainable approach.

- This study examines the link between disordered eating behaviors and mental health issues like anxiety and depression, focusing on how school-based programs can reduce risk factors such as low self-esteem and body dissatisfaction.
- Researchers analyzed 13 articles and 14 studies, finding 17 eating disorder prevention programs, of which 10 were effective in enhancing adolescent mental health through topics like body acceptance, self-esteem, and coping strategies.
- The effective programs highlighted the importance of body acceptance strategies, suggesting that brief interventions by trained facilitators can successfully promote mental well-being in schools.
Article Synopsis
- * The authors present a new method for creating MOFs using non-equilibrium flame aerosol synthesis, which allows for the creation of both nano-crystalline and amorphous MOFs.
- * This innovative synthesis can produce complex MOFs with multiple metal cations and has the potential for high-performance applications, such as using these materials in catalysts for CO oxidation, making it suitable for scalable industrial production.
Objective: Not all women experience the same changes in depression from pregnancy through the years following childbirth, but the patterns of prenatal and postnatal depression are underexplored. This study investigated the trajectories and associated predictors of depressive symptoms in women from pregnancy through the first 3 years postpartum.
Method: We followed 340 pregnant women from an antenatal clinic in Hong Kong, first at 20-24 weeks of gestation, then at 4 weeks after childbirth, and again at 3 years after childbirth.
