AI Article Synopsis
- Peroxisome proliferation in rodent livers serves as a biochemical marker for detecting the toxic effects of various xenobiotics, including specific drugs and herbicides.
- Research on peroxisomes highlights the collaboration between basic sciences and applications in biomedical and industrial health.
- A 25-minute educational video showcases techniques for studying peroxisomes, aimed at undergraduate and advanced biology students, covering methods like immunoblotting, mRNA analysis, and cell culture.
Article Abstract
Peroxisome proliferation in rodent liver is a good biochemical marker of toxicology for several classes of xenobiotics, including fibrates; phthalates and adipates; or chlorophenoxy-acetate, a herbicide. Research in peroxisomes provides a good example of the integration of fields related to basic sciences and biomedical and industrial health. A 25min video programme illustrates techniques involved in the characterization of purified peroxisomes (Fig. 1) and membranes, immunoblotting, measurement of proliferation markers, mRNA analysis at the post-transcriptional level, DNA techniques, cell cultures as biological models and computer analysis. It is aimed at undergraduates and non-biochemist advanced students in biology.

Generating context-specific sports training plans by combining generative adversarial networks.
PLoS One

College of Education for the Future, Beijing Normal University, Zhuhai, Guangdong, China.
Personalized sports training plans are essential for addressing individual athlete needs, but traditional methods often need to integrate diverse data types, limiting adaptability and effectiveness. Existing machine learning (ML) and rule-based approaches cannot dynamically generate context-specific training programs, reducing their applicability in real-world scenarios. This study aims to develop a Generative Adversarial Network (GAN)- based framework to create context-specific training plans by integrating numeric attributes (e.

Department of Pediatrics, Rutgers Cancer Institute, New Brunswick, NJ, United States.
Objective: Although childhood cancer survivors require lifelong "risk-based" follow-up care, most adult survivors do not receive such care, and many are lost during the transition from pediatric to adult follow-up care. The goal of this study was to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of the "Managing Your Health" self-management and peer mentoring intervention to improve transition readiness and self-management skills among young adult survivors of childhood cancer.
Methods: Survivors of childhood cancer ages 18-25 years were randomized 1:1 to the Managing Your Health intervention (six video/phone calls with a peer mentor, another young adult survivor, and five online educational modules) or usual care.
Web-Based Exercise and Nutrition Intervention to Improve Leg Muscle Strength and Physical Functioning in Older Adults: Pre-Post Pilot Study.
JMIR Form Res
January 2025
Division of Human Nutrition and Health, Wageningen University & Research, Stippeneng 4, PO Box 17, Wageningen, 6700 AA, Netherlands.
Background: The lifestyle intervention ProMuscle, which combines resistance exercise and an increased protein intake, was effective in improving muscle strength, muscle mass, and physical functioning in older adults. However, due to a growing shortage of health care professionals, the rapidly growing aging population cannot be personally guided in the future. Therefore, Uni2Move, a scalable web-based variant of ProMuscle, was designed to reach larger groups of older adults without putting additional burden on health care professionals.

University of Texas Health Science Center San Antonio, San Antonio, Texas, USA.
Regional infusion centers (RICs) played an integral role in treating high-risk patients with COVID-19, with mild to moderate symptoms, who did not need acute hospitalization, with monoclonal antibodies. While any medical provider could place a RIC referral, it was recognized that many people face challenges with accessing care. A dedicated medical team was created to provide telemedical evaluation of patients and place appropriate referrals to RICs.

Methods: E-learning program was conducted using videos demonstrating biliary cannulation for 24 papillae, targeting trainees with 2-6 years of experience in endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography. Ten consecutive cases of biliary cannulation for native papillae performed by trainees were prospectively assessed before and after the e-learning, respectively.
