Post-graduate Program in Collective Health, Federal University of Espírito Santo, Vitória, Espírito Santo, Brazil.
Introduction: Aging in rural areas is challenging and has very specific characteristics in the way these elderly people live their old age, from the perspectives of cognition, functionality and life purpose.

December 2024
Health Rehabilitation Group (GRES), Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, School of Medicine, University of Antioquia, Medellín, Colombia.
Background: A significant number of Colombian farmers who are transtibial amputees are civilian victims of landmines. Current prostheses are inadequately adapted for agricultural work, resulting in functional challenges in this context.
Objectives: This study aims to analyze and categorize the functional problems of transtibial prostheses in the Colombian agricultural context, incorporating perspectives from prosthesis users, manufacturers, and designers.
Evaluating the impacts of area closure on soil properties in south central highland of Ethiopia.
Heliyon
November 2024
Wondo Genet College of Forestry and Natural Resource, Hawassa University, P.O.box 128, Shashemene, Ethiopia.
Article Synopsis
- Soil degradation negatively impacts land quality and productivity, prompting the implementation of soil and water conservation (SWC) measures such as area closure in Ethiopia.
- A study involving interviews with 80 households found that 98% believe area closure helps restore degraded lands, with 86% noting reduced erosion and improved soil fertility.
- Results indicated that area closure with SWC significantly improved soil properties, showing higher levels of organic carbon, total nitrogen, and other nutrients compared to open grazing methods.
Epidemiological investigation of traumatic spinal cord injury caused by object strike in China: strategies for workplace safety improvement.
J Rehabil Med
November 2024
China Rehabilitation Research Center, Beijing, China; Wenzhou Medical University, Wenzhou, Zhejiang.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the causes and characteristics of traumatic spinal cord injuries from being hit by objects in China, focusing on data from 435 cases between 2013 and 2022.
- Findings show a significant male predominance (11.8:1 ratio), with the highest injuries seen in the 30-44 age group, particularly among workers and farmers.
- The research highlights the need for improved safety education in high-risk workplaces, as injuries mainly affect manual laborers working in environments like construction sites (89.4% of cases).
A live online exercise program for older adults improves depression and life-space mobility: A mixed-methods pilot randomized controlled trial.
PLoS One
November 2024
Department of Kinesiology, McMaster University, Hamilton, ON, Canada.
Background: Aging is the primary risk factor for sarcopenia and mobility limitations. Exercise reduces these risks, but older adults have low levels of participation in physical activity and exercise. We investigated the preliminary effectiveness of a live, online exercise program on community-dwelling older adults' physical activity levels.
