Article Synopsis
- - Neurodegenerative diseases, like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, lead to neuron loss and significantly impact many lives, prompting the search for new therapies beyond current medications.
- - Magnesium (Mg) is an essential mineral important for central nervous system health, but its specific role in human neurodegenerative diseases is not well understood.
- - This review explores the connection between Mg levels and neurodegenerative disorders by analyzing biological samples from patients and animal model studies, suggesting that Mg may have neuroprotective properties; however, further research is needed for clarity on its therapeutic use.
Neurodegenerative disorders, which are currently incurable diseases of the nervous system, are a constantly growing social concern. They are progressive and lead to gradual degeneration and/or death of nerve cells, resulting in cognitive deterioration or impaired motor functions. New therapies that would ensure better treatment results and contribute to a significant slowdown in the progression of neurodegenerative syndromes are constantly being sought.

We also assessed the relationship between resilience and mental health. Finally, we tested the mediating role of COVID-19 anxiety, persistent thinking, and the stress burden in the relationship between mental health and resilience.

This study aims to deepen our understanding of the relationship between religious coping and life satisfaction by analysing the indirect effects of fear of COVID-19.
Methods: This study included 365 people (75% women) aged 18-78 years.
The vast majority of hip or knee arthroplasty finishes with improved limb functional status. Despite this, some patients do not recover; they "save" the operated limb; they cannot trust it. This also happens in patients whose range of motion and muscle strength are rated as very good.

The combination of HIFU with MRI guidance known as MR-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) appears to be particularly promising to ablate tissues located deep in the brain. The method can be the beginning of interventional neurology and an important alternative to neurosurgery.
