Cognitive reserve and executive functions in dual task gait performance in Parkinson's disease.

A higher level of education was correlated with less severe motor impairment in Parkinson's Disease (PD). Nevertheless, there is limited evidence on the relationship between cognitive reserve and motor performance in complex situations in PD. To investigate the association between cognitive reserve and the dual-task gait effect in PD.

Open-loop recycling of end-of-life textiles as geopolymer fibre reinforcement.

The treatment and management of textile waste is an ever-growing issue worldwide, due to the continuously changing trends and the popularity of fast-fashion brands. There are numerous waste management methods besides simple landfilling, including reuse, open-loop or closed-loop recycling options. The described research explores the applicability of an open-loop recycling method, the processing of end-of-life textiles to produce fibres for fibre-reinforced geopolymers, to combine various waste streams for the production of an environmentally friendly binder system.

Professional Athletes Maintain High TNF-Alpha or IFN-Gamma Related Inflammatory Status after Recovering from COVID-19 Infection without Developing a Neutralizing Antibody Response.

Introduction: Professional athletes are endangered by COVID-19 and belong to the high-risk population due to their lifestyle. To obtain information on the behavior of COVID-19 in professional athletes, serological, cytokine, and virus neutralization capacities were analyzed.

Materials And Methods: Hungarian national teams participated in international sports events during the early phases of the COVID-19 epidemic in 2020.

Dynamic valgus knee revealed with single leg jump tests in soccer players.

Background: Dynamic valgus knee occurs in sports that involve jumps and landing such as soccer and pose an increased risk for anterior cruciate ligament injury. Visual estimation is biased by the athlete's body type, the experience of the evaluator and the movement phase at which the valgus is assessed - thus the result is highly variable. The aim of our study was to accurately assess dynamic knee positions during single and double leg tests through a video-based movement analysis system.
