Plants and algae harbor diverse molecules with antioxidant activity and have been demonstrated to directly inhibit cancer cell growth and mitigate the oxidative damage associated with certain antitumor therapies. While antioxidant supplementation, either alone or in combination with chemotherapy, has shown promise in improving quality of life, further research is needed to explore the effects of antioxidant combinations on specific cancer cell lines. In this study, the in vitro cytotoxic and apoptotic properties of natural compounds derived from plants and algae, as well as certain dietary supplements, were investigated against various human cancer cell lines, including bone, leukemia, colorectal, breast, and prostate cancers.

Background: A mobile application (app) may facilitate the administration of the 6-minute walk test (6MWT), a commonly used tool in cardiac rehabilitation. This pilot study, conducted with cardiac rehabilitation patients, aimed to evaluate: 1) the criterion validity of the PEDOMETER® app compared to the 6MWT in assessing cardiorespiratory fitness and fatigue resistance, and 2) the construct validity of the PEDOMETER ® app in relation to the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) and the Health Index of the EuroQol-5D 3L questionnaire (EQ-5D).
Methods: Twenty patients undergoing cardiac rehabilitation at HM Puerta del Sur Hospital (Mostoles, Spain) performed the 6MWT while using the PEDOMETER ® app on a smartphone worn on their arm.

Introduction: In Chile, small and medium-sized enterprises employ approximately 5,000,000 workers, of whom only 10% are formally protected from accidents and occupational diseases, and there is little information on their exposure to occupational hazards and demographic characteristics.
Objectives: To identify some occupational musculoskeletal and psychosocial risks and sociodemographic characteristics in small and medium-sized enterprises workers in the region of Antofagasta, Chile.
Methods: Using a descriptive and exploratory design, their sociodemographic characteristics and the jobs of a sample of 273 workers were evaluated to determine the risks due to manual handling of loads, work-related upper extremity musculoskeletal disorders, and psychosocial factors.
