Breaking barriers: a commentary on research gaps in cancer and depression among individuals with intellectual disabilities.

The European Commission's Strategy for the Rights of Persons with Disabilities 2021-2030 aims to ensure equal opportunities and rights for all individuals, including those with intellectual disabilities. People with intellectual disabilities are often underrepresented in cancer prevention and screening policies, leading to disparities in health outcomes and early mortality. The intersection of intellectual disability, cancer, and depression represents an underexplored area in healthcare research.

Age-related variations in physical activity, happiness, and psychological well-being: Evidence from Iran.

Background: Physical activity (PA) is associated with higher levels of PWB and happiness. The high prevalence of physical inactivity among the Iranian population is concerning. Moreover, according to the Happiness Report 2024, Iran is ranked 100th out of 143 countries.

Surf therapy for people with mental health disorders: a systematic review of randomized and non-randomized controlled trials.

Background: Surf therapy is gaining popularity for improving mental health. However, there is limited research evidence to substantiate these claims. Therefore, this systematic review aimed to assess randomized or non-randomized studies analyzing the efficacy of surf therapy in improving symptoms of mental illness compared to non-exercising controls and/or alternative intervention, and to identify evidential gaps to inform future research.

Physical activity and sedentary behavior levels among individuals with mental illness: A cross-sectional study from 23 countries.

People with mental illness tend to present low levels of physical activity and high levels of sedentary behavior. The study aims to compare these levels in mental illness patients, exploring the role of socioeconomic development and treatment setting. This cross-sectional study used accelerometers and the Simple Physical Activity Questionnaire (SIMPAQ) to assess physical activity and sedentary behavior in mental illness individuals living in 23 countries.

The importance of cancer prevention policies to inform and guide preventative and screening measures for people with intellectual disabilities: The COST project "Cancer- Understanding Prevention in Intellectual Disabilities".

Cancer is a global public health problem, but its exact prevalence in people with intellectual disabilities is still uncertain. This population, with limited health skills and complex health needs, faces many challenges in cancer prevention, screening, timely diagnosis and treatment. Furthermore, they are often underrepresented in general cancer prevention and screening policies across Europe, leading to widened disparities in health outcomes and premature mortality.

The Glycoside Hydrolase Family 35 β-galactosidase from Trichoderma reesei debranches xyloglucan oligosaccharides from tamarind and jatobá.

Trichoderma reesei (anamorph Hypocrea jecorina) produces an extracellular beta-galactosidase from Glycoside Hydrolase Family 35 (TrBga1). Hydrolysis of xyloglucan oligosaccharides (XGOs) by TrBga1 has been studied by hydrolysis profile analysis of both tamarind (Tamarindus indica) and jatobá (Hymenaea courbaril) seed storage xyloglucans using PACE and MALDI-ToF-MS for separation, quantification and identification of the hydrolysis products. The TrBga1 substrate preference for galactosylated oligosaccharides from both the XXXG- and XXXXG-series of jatobá xyloglucan showed that the doubly galactosylated oligosaccharides were the first to be hydrolyzed.

Executive function is among the most affected cognitive dimensions in depression. Physical exercise may improve executive function (e.g.

Dementia among older adults living in long-term care facilities: an epidemiological study.

Unlabelled: Institutionalization has been associated with social isolation, psychological and cognitive changes, and decreased levels of physical activity in older adults.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence of dementia, mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and functional dependence in older adults dwelling in two different Brazilian long-term care facilities (LTCFs).

Methods: This is a cross-sectional study with 185 older people of both sexes, aged 60 years or over, residing in two LTCFs in the city of Montes Claros-MG, Brazil.

Selective xyloglucan oligosaccharide hydrolysis by a GH31 α-xylosidase from Escherichia coli.

Xyloglucan is ubiquitous in the cell walls of land plants and is also an essential storage polymer in seeds of many species. We studied the hydrolysis of the non-reducing end xylosyl residue of xyloglucan oligosaccharides (XGOs) by the Escherichia coli α-xylosidase (YicI). Electrospray Ionization Tandem Mass Spectrometry (ESI-MS/MS) and ion fragmentation analysis together with high performance anion exchange chromatography with pulsed amperometric detection revealed that YicI preferentially removes the xylosyl residue from the glycosyl residue of non-galactosylated oligosaccharides.

Effect of Aerobic-Based Exercise on Psychological Well-Being and Quality of Life Among Older People: A Middle East Study.

The aimed to evaluate the effects of low and moderate-intensity aerobic exercise on psychological well-being (PWB) and quality of life (QoL) among older people. Forty-five male Iranian adults aged 65-80 years were selected according to the eligibility criteria and randomly assigned to a low-intensity group (LIG) (40-50% of maximum heart rate), moderate-intensity group (MIG) (60-70% of maximum heart rate) and control group (CG). The exercise protocols consisted of 12 weeks of aerobic exercise (two sessions per week).

Web-based exercise interventions for patients with depressive and anxiety disorders: a systematic review of randomized controlled trials.

Objective: The number of people suffering from depression and/or anxiety has increased steadily due to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. In this context, web-based exercise interventions have emerged as a potential treatment strategy. The objective of this study was to synthetize evidence from randomized controlled trials regarding the effects of web-based exercise interventions on patients with depressive and/or anxiety disorders.

2D Virtual Reality-Based Exercise Improves Spatial Navigation in Institutionalized Non-robust Older Persons: A Preliminary Data Report of a Single-Blind, Randomized, and Controlled Study.

Spatial navigation is a prodromal dementia marker. Exercise used alongside virtual reality improves many cognitive functions, but effects on spatial navigation are still unclear. To investigate the effect of virtual reality-based physical exercise with 2D exergames on spatial navigation in institutionalized non-robust older persons.

Immobilization of a β-glucosidase and an endoglucanase in ferromagnetic nanoparticles: A study of synergistic effects.

Nanoparticles can act as support materials for enzymatic immobilization, introducing a balance of characteristics that modulate the efficiency of biocatalysts, such as specific surface area, resistance to mass transfer and effective enzymatic loading. Magnetic nanoparticles can be easily separated using an external magnetic field, and in this work two recombinant enzymes, the β-glucosidase from Humicola insolens (Bglhi) and the endoglucanase from Scytalidium thermophilum (Egst) were immobilized on synthetized FeO nanoparticles derivatized with chitosan/glutaraldehyde/N-(5-amino-1-carboxy-pentyl) iminodiacetic acid and functionalized with NiCl. The immobilization yields were about 20% for Bglhi and Egst with efficiencies of 132% and 115%, respectively.
