Association between obstructive sleep apnea and hyperuricemia/gout in the general population: a cross-sectional study.

Background: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is linked to various health conditions, including cardiovascular diseases and metabolic disorders. Hyperuricemia and gout may be associated with OSA, but large-scale studies on this are limited. This study aimed to investigate the association between hyperuricemia/gout and OSA using data from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Survey (KNHANES).

Evaluating current status of network pharmacology for herbal medicine focusing on identifying mechanisms and therapeutic effects.

Introduction: Network pharmacology has gained significant traction as a tool for identifying the mechanisms and therapeutic effects of herbal medicines. However, despite the usefulness of these approaches, their diversity underscores the critical need for a systematic evaluation to ensure consistency and reliability.

Objectives: We aimed to evaluate the network pharmacological analyses, focusing on identifying the mechanisms and therapeutic effects of herbal medicines.

Regulatory effects of extract and Diphlorethohydroxycarmalol on skin barrier function.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: The pharmacological potential of marine organisms remains largely unexplored. commonly known as Pae, is extensively distributed over Asia. Its antioxidant, antibacterial, antiobesity, and anti-inflammatory properties are also being investigated.

Concurrent validity and test reliability of the deep learning markerless motion capture system during the overhead squat.

Marker-based optical motion capture systems have been used as a cardinal vehicle to probe and understand the underpinning mechanism of human posture and movement, but it is time-consuming for complex and delicate data acquisition and analysis, labor-intensive with highly trained operators. To mitigate such inherent issues, we developed an accurate and usable (5-min data collection and processing) deep-learning-based 3-Dimensional markerless motion capture system called "Ergo", designed for use in ecological digital healthcare environments. We investigated the concurrent validity and the test-retest reliability of the Ergo system measurement's whole body joint kinematics (time series joint angles and peak joint angles) data by comparing it with a standard marker-based motion capture system recorded during an overhead squat movement.

Preliminary Research to Assess the Possibility of Grinding Selected Plastics Using Crushers.

This study aims to investigate the effect of the shredding machine used on the recyclability of plastic fractions after primary crushing. This work presents a method for producing aggregates that has yet to be used in the plastics industry. This study included crushing of polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), polyamide (PA-6), acrylonitrile butadiene-styrene (ABS), polycarbonate (PC), polystyrene (PS), and polypropylene (PP) waste in a jaw, a hammer, and a cone crusher.
