Introduction: Parkinson's disease can contribute to the loss of muscle strength, and physical exercise such as Mat Pilates can be effective in improving this, core stability, flexibility, and muscle control.
Objective: To analyze the effects of a 12-week intervention with Mat Pilates in the short and long term, on lower limb and hand grip strength in people with Parkinson's.
Methods: The study included 23 people (61.
Accurate estimation of crop evapotranspiration (ET) is essential for effective agricultural water resource planning. To determine ET it is common multiplying the reference evapotranspiration (ET) by an appropriate crop coefficient (K). Forecasting ET could be particularly beneficial for irrigation scheduling.

Methods: A study registered in PROSPERO (CRD42023474696), with searches carried out electronically in five databases (PubMed Central®, Embase, Web of Science, ScienceDirect, and Scopus Elsevier), over the last 10 years. The risk of bias was assessed using the Cochrane collaboration scale (RoB2 and ROBINS-I).
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to investigate the relationship between phase angle (PhA), a marker of hydration and nutritional status, and the development of sarcopenia in older adults.
- It involved 696 participants aged 75 and older, assessing them for sarcopenia and related physical capabilities over 24 months using various tests and methods.
- While lower baseline PhA was observed in those who developed sarcopenia, it was not confirmed as a significant predictor after accounting for other related factors, raising questions about its practical use as an early marker for sarcopenia risk.
Purpose: To perform a comparative analysis of visual, refractive, and tomographic outcomes of combined topography-guided photorefractive keratectomy (TG-PRK) and corneal crosslinking (CXL) in patients with progressive versus stable keratoconus.
Methods: Longitudinal retrospective case-control study. Patients with keratoconus submitted to simultaneous TG-PRK and CXL were included, with a minimum follow-up of 12 months up to 3 years.
