Published: October 2016

A lysosome-accessing nanoprobe is designed for recognition of lysosomal neuraminidases (Lyso-Neus), which can cleave the 4-methylumbelliferone moieties of the substrate from the nanoprobe, and lead to the escape of the moieties from acidic lysosomes into the neutral cytosol assisted by cationic poly(ethyleneimine) to light up the pH-responsive fluorescence for visual detection and dynamic tracking of Lyso-Neu activity in living cells.

Background: Beyond the use of conventional short-lived PET radionuclides, there is a growing interest in tracking larger biomolecules and exploring radiotheranostic applications. One promising option for imaging medium-sized molecules and peptides is ⁵⁵Co (T₁/₂ = 17.5 h, β⁺ = 76%), which enables imaging of new and already established tracers with blood circulation of several hours.

Tailoring Exercise Prescription for Effective Diabetes Glucose Management.

Department of Kinesiology and Health, Rutgers University, New Brunswick, NJ 08901, USA.

Context: Physical activity, exercise, or both are a staple of lifestyle management approaches both for type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and type 2 diabetes (T2DM). While the current literature supports both physical activity and exercise for improving glycemic control, reducing cardiovascular risk, maintaining proper weight, and enhancing overall well-being, the optimal prescription regimen remains debated.

Evidence Acquisition: We searched PubMed and Google Scholar databases for relevant studies on exercise, insulin sensitivity, and glycemic control in people with T1DM and T2DM.

Does Self-Compassion Expressive Writing Benefit People With an Ostomy? A Randomized Controlled Trial.

J Wound Ostomy Continence Nurs

January 2025

Lauren Harris, PG, DipHealthPsych, Health Psychologist, Cancer Services, Te Whatu Ora - Waitemata, New Zealand.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate whether a self-compassion expressive writing activity could improve psychological well-being in people with an ostomy, as assessed by changes in body image distress, ostomy-specific quality of life (QOL), self-compassion, and dispositional disgust.

Design: Randomized controlled trial design was used.

Subjects And Setting: The sample comprised 175 English-speaking patients over 18 years of age with a fecal or urinary ostomy; all participants resided in Australia and New Zealand.
