Senior and senile age is characterized by psychological, social and somatic heterogeneity of patients. To ensure high level of quality of life and to optimize the functioning of staff of geriatric hospitals we propose to introduce the distribution of pensioners within departments based on their psychosomatic status. On the analogy of the «medical triage», authors propose to introduce socio-psychological grading of older persons living in geriatric centers, focusing on their ability for self-care, the degree of preservation of cognitive functions, individual psychological characteristics. Testing of this grading was made on the basis of the Scientific and Methodological Gerontological Center. As a result of introduction of the principle of socio-psychological grading, positive dynamics in the psychological state of patients, better performance of the staff, and improved subjective assessment of the quality of life of older persons were registered.

Importance: Rotator cuff tendinopathy represents the most prevalent cause of shoulder pain, the third most common musculoskeletal disorder after low back pain and knee pain.
Objective: The objective of this study was to determine the effectiveness of corticosteroid injection(s), alone or in combination with anesthetic injection or any other physical therapist interventions, compared to physical therapist interventions alone in adults with rotator cuff tendinopathy.
Design: This study was a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

Importance: Secondary lymphedema is a common, harmful side effect of breast cancer treatment. Robust risk models that are externally validated are needed to facilitate clinical translation. A published risk model used 5 accessible clinical factors to predict the development of breast cancer-related lymphedema; this model included a patient's mammographic breast density as a novel predictive factor.

High-fructose and high-fat diet (HFHFD) has been associated with impaired spermatogenesis, leading to decreased sperm quality and increased male infertility, with similar effects observed in offspring. Cyanidin-3-O-glucoside (C3G), a recognized food antioxidant, has shown promise in protecting in male reproduction and modulating epigenetic modifications. However, its potential role in ameliorating intergenerational inheritance induced by HFHFD remains underexplored.

Deficiency or excess of mineral elements in the environment is a primary factor limiting crop yields and nutritional quality. Lotus (Nelumbo nucifera) is an important aquatic crop in Asia, but the mechanism for accumulating mineral nutrients and coping with nutrient deficiency/excess is still largely unknown. Here, we identified NnMTP10, a member of the cation diffusion facilitator family, by screening the cDNA library of lotus.
