Article Synopsis
- * It involved 289 older adults, predominantly females aged 70-79, and found that those with ongoing hearing impairment were 181% more likely to experience falls compared to those without.
- * The findings underscore the importance of auditory rehabilitation and highlight the need for a comprehensive approach to prevent falls by addressing both hearing health and fall risk factors in older adults.
Objective: several clinical trials have been published in recent years to investigate the potential benefits of physical exercise for women with breast cancer. This meta-epidemiological study aimed to map and critically assess the methodological quality of systematic reviews on physical activity for breast cancer patients.
Methods: a meta-epidemiological study including systematic reviews of randomized clinical trials that evaluated the effects of physical exercise on breast cancer patients.
Article Synopsis
- Canine dirofilariasis, caused by Dirofilaria immitis, is a global concern, but its prevalence in Alagoas, Brazil is largely unstudied.
- A study analyzed blood samples from 426 dogs across 15 coastal municipalities, finding that 12.7% tested positive for the infection.

The conceptual expansion, fast development, and general acceptance of flow analysis are consequence of its adherence to the principles of green and white analytical chemistry, and chemical derivatization plays an essential role in this context. Through the flow analysis development, however, some of its potentialities and limitations have been overlooked. This is more evident when the involved modifications in flow rates, timing and/or manifold architecture deteriorate the analytical signals.
