Although the connection between muscular strength and flatfoot condition is well-established, the impact of corrective exercises on these muscles remains inadequately explored. This study aimed to assess the impact of intrinsic- versus extrinsic-first corrective exercise programs on muscle morphometry and navicular drop in boys with flexible flatfoot. Twenty-five boys aged 10-12 with flexible flatfoot participated, undergoing a 12-week corrective exercise program, with a shift in focus at six weeks.

OMVs derived from can lead to cell transformation in gastric epithelium and cancer. Additionally, exosomes (Exos) released by host cells infected with can significantly contribute to the development of diseases such as cancer. In this study, the effects of both Exos from AGS cells treated with -derived OMVs on the expression of genes related to the TGF-β/SMAD signaling pathway in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells were investigated.

Postbiotics are the non-viable bacterial products or the low molecular weight metabolites produced by probiotics that have received considerable attention owing to their health promoting effects. The present study aimed to investigate the safety and antibacterial properties of postbiotic components of Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus (Lra) and Limosilactobacillus reuteri (Lre) for their potential applications in food products. The freeze dried postbiotic metabolites (FD-P) from Lra and Lre were extensively analyzed for their physico-chemical properties and antibacterial actions against common food borne pathogens.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the role of Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) DNA load in the prognosis of Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) patients, comparing it to standard laboratory factors.
  • In a sample of 40 untreated CLL patients, EBV-DNA was detected in over half, showing significant differences in key blood parameters such as lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and platelet counts between EBV positive and negative individuals.
  • The findings suggest that measuring EBV-DNA load can help predict disease severity and potentially improve patient management in CLL cases.

Article Synopsis
  • This study explored how nitric oxide (NO) and ascorbic acid (Asc) can help thyme plants tolerate cadmium (Cd) toxicity by adding them to the growth medium.
  • Results showed that both compounds reduced the negative effects of Cd on plant growth and caused significant changes in DNA methylation patterns, increasing unmethylation rates and affecting specific metabolic genes.
  • The findings suggest that NO and Asc enhance the plant's resilience to Cd by boosting metabolite levels, improving antioxidant enzyme activity, and altering gene expression related to growth and metabolism.
