Article Synopsis
  • miRNAs, particularly miR-133b, miR-155-5p, and let-7a-5p, were found to be elevated in runners with musculoskeletal pain compared to those without pain, indicating a potential link to inflammation.
  • A total of 34 runners participated in the study, where researchers analyzed the expression of these miRNAs and their target genes using advanced techniques like qRT-PCR and bioinformatics.
  • The findings suggest that these miRNAs could play a significant role in mediating inflammation and tissue repair, highlighting the need for further research on their implications in managing pain, particularly in athletic populations.

Article Synopsis
  • * Physical activity is highlighted as a beneficial self-care practice that can mitigate burnout by improving psychological resilience and physiological responses to stress.
  • * A systematic review of 21 studies revealed a wide prevalence of burnout among healthcare workers, ranging from 7% to 83%, with inconsistent measures and definitions applied across different research efforts.

miRNAs are involved in the generation and progression of musculoskeletal pain, a condition that causes significant clinical, economic and social burden. In runners, the presence of musculoskeletal pain related to an inflammatory state or ongoing underlying tissue damage may result in poor training ability and performance. This study aims to evaluate the association between circulating and salivary miRNAs and pain in runners with and without musculoskeletal pain and to observe whether dysregulated miRNAs can distinguish between responders and nonresponders to a kinesiological intervention.
