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.

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.
