Objective: To explore perceptions of well-being, family support, and economic resources in relation to level of contact with migration to the U.S. among a sample of elderly males from rural Mexico.
Method: The snowballing technique was used to obtain a sample of 372 participants. Four groups were created according to the level of contact with migration among older adults and their children.
Results: Greater level of contact with migration was associated with a higher likelihood that an older adult was literate, married or living with someone, self-employed, and retired or pensioned. In addition, greater level of contact with migration to the U.S. was associated with a higher level of perceived well-being, family support, and economic security.
Discussion: Elderly, rural Mexican men with a greater degree of contact with migration to the U.S. seem to have more security and well-being in their old age.

The EFSA Panel on Food Contact Materials (FCM) assessed the safety of the recycling process NGR LSP (EU register number RECYC328). The input is hot washed and dried poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) flakes mainly originating from collected post-consumer PET containers, with no more than 5% PET from non-food consumer applications. The flakes are dried (step 2), melted in an extruder (step 3) and decontaminated during a melt-state polycondensation step under high temperature and vacuum (step 4).

Plasmodium vivax is the predominant malaria parasite in Latin America. Its colonization history in the region is rich and complex, and is still highly debated, especially about its origin(s). Our study employed cutting-edge population genomic techniques to analyze whole genome variation from 620 P.

Background And Purpose: Early migration of the uncemented cruciate-sacrificing rotating platform ATTUNE and Low Contact Stress (LCS) tibial components was classified as at-risk for aseptic loosening rates exceeding 6.5% at 15 years based on recent fixation-specific migration thresholds. In this secondary report of a randomized controlled trial (RCT) we aimed to evaluate whether the 5-year migration, inducible displacement, and the clinical outcome of the ATTUNE components were comparable to those of the LCS.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFPaxillin (PXN) and focal adhesion kinase (FAK) are two major components of the focal adhesion complex, a multiprotein structure linking the intracellular cytoskeleton to the cell exterior. PXN interacts directly with the C-terminal targeting domain of FAK (FAT) via its intrinsically disordered N-terminal domain. This interaction is necessary and sufficient for localizing FAK to focal adhesions.

Objectives: The present study aimed to assess the antiproliferative and pro-apoptotic effects of hinokitiol in osteosarcoma cells and targeting of glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK3).
Materials And Methods: The (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) assay was used to evaluate the cytotoxic potential of hinokitiol in osteosarcoma cells. Various concentrations of hinokitiol (5, 10, 20, 40, 60, and 80 μg/mL) were tested, and the half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC) was calculated.
