Since the beginning of the corona virus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, nursing home residents had been under strict quarantine, which greatly affected their lifestyle and health. In this follow-up study, we analysed whether lifestyle changes during the lockdown had an impact on their body composition and nutritional status. For this purpose we determined body composition, nutritional status, and osteosarcopenic adiposity (OSA) prevalence in 24 volunteer nursing home residents just before the February 2020 COVID-19 lockdown and about 15 months into the lockdown.

Background: Many patients with constipation also suffer from varying degrees of malnutrition, and the relationship between the two conditions is a vicious cycle. Surgery is the final step in the treatment of constipation, with a success rate of up to 95%. This study aims to investigate the effects of surgical treatment on the nutritional status of patients with chronic constipation and malnutrition.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a prevalent joint disorder characterized by cartilage and bone degradation. Medical therapies like glucosaminoglycan (GAG), chondroitin sulfate (CS), and hyaluronic acid (HA) aim to preserve joint function and reduce inflammation but may cause side effects when administered orally or injection. Microneedle arrays (MNAs) offer a localized drug delivery method that reduces side effects.

Article Synopsis
- Oily wastewater from the oil industry and spills poses a significant environmental issue, prompting research for effective solutions.
- A novel magnetic Ni-Al oxide/ZnCoFO mesoporous aerogel (MNA) was developed as a selective adsorbent for oil removal, with oleic acid (OA) enhancing its hydrophobic properties more effectively than Triton X-100 (TX).
- The MNA-OA exhibited a remarkable oil removal efficiency of about 97% and maintained high stability and reusability across five uses, thanks to the strong chemical bonding of OA.
