This study investigated the effects of transcranial photobiomodulation (t-PBM) on para-athletes' manual dexterity and intralimbal coordination. Six para-athletes from a Boccia Team participated. t-PBM was administered using a LED helmet with 204 LEDs (660 and 850 nm) emitting 10 mW each, delivering 9 J/cm per LED during 15-min sessions three times a week.

In Honduras, health systems have been faced with a duty and a need to establish surveillance mechanisms in order to understand the pathways of health and disease in the population. The objective of this article is to describe the process of analysis and the strategies used during development of a robust information system for vaccine safety surveillance, which can also be replicated for other forms of surveillance. For this purpose, agile development methods and open-source tools were used to design and develop a baseline monitoring system, incorporating recognized standards for information coding, validation, and verification.

Article Synopsis
  • - Cholestatic liver diseases (CLD) cause damage to the liver cells and can lead to fibrosis and cirrhosis due to bile acid accumulation, with STARD1 playing a potential role in this process.
  • - Research found that patients with primary biliary cholangitis had higher STARD1 levels, and mice lacking STARD1 specifically in liver cells were more resistant to liver damage and inflammation associated with bile duct blockage.
  • - The study suggests that targeting STARD1 could be a promising approach for treating cholestatic liver injury, as it appears to influence bile acid levels and oxidative stress in liver cells.
