Background: This study compares the functional capacity and handgrip strength of older women with and without type 2 diabetes (T2D) who practiced physical exercises.
Methods: Twenty-six older women who practiced physical exercises participated in the study (13 with T2D - DM; 13 without T2D - CON). Functional capacity and handgrip strength were assessed.
Results: The groups were similar in age. Regarding functional capacity, there were no significant differences between the groups in any of the tests performed (p > 0.05): chair stand (rep); arm curl (rep); chair sit and reach (cm); 8-foot up-and-go (sec); back scratch (cm) and 6-min walk (m). There was also no difference in handgrip strength (kg) between groups (p > 0.05).
Conclusion: The functional capacity and handgrip strength of older women with T2D who practice exercise seems similar to that of older women without the disease who practice regular exercise.

This study presents a hybrid microfiltration technology designed for high-performance lead (Pb(II)) remediation, especially from aqueous solutions with high Pb(II) concentrations, by utilizing two-dimensional (2D) TiCT-MXene layers deposited on dry mycelium membranes. The hybrid TiCT-MXene/mycelium (MyMX) membranes were fabricated via a single-step electrochemical deposition (ECD) technique, which enabled a uniform coating of 2D TiCT-MXene onto individual hyphal fibers of a prefabricated mycelium membrane. Optimized ECD parameters for high Pb(II) uptake were identified using scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy.

Physisorbents are poised to address global challenges such as CO capture, mitigation of water scarcity and energy-efficient commodity gas storage and separation. Rigid physisorbents, those adsorbents that retain their structures upon gas or vapour exposure, are well studied in this context. Conversely, cooperatively flexible physisorbents undergo long-range structural transformations stimulated by guest exposure.

Background: Colon adenocarcinoma (COAD) is a malignancy with a high mortality rate and complex biological characteristics and heterogeneity, which poses challenges for clinical treatment. Anoikis is a type of programmed cell death that occurs when cells lose their attachment to the extracellular matrix (ECM), and it plays a crucial role in tumor metastasis. However, the specific biological link between anoikis and COAD, as well as its mechanisms in tumor progression, remains unclear, making it a potential new direction for therapeutic strategy research.

Introduction: Osteosarcoma (OS), a prevalent metastatic cancer among young individuals, is associated with a grim prognosis. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), including C1QTNF1-AS1, are pivotal regulators of cancer cell proliferation and motility. As an oncogene, C1QTNF1-AS1 is implicated in various tumor types, such as colorectal, pancreatic, hepatocellular carcinomas, and OS.

Low fracture toughness, low-temperature degradation (LTD) susceptibility, and inadequate soft tissue integration greatly limit the application of zirconia ceramic abutment. Integrating the "surface" of hard all-ceramic materials into the gingival soft tissue and simultaneously promoting the "inner" LTD resistance and fracture toughness is challenging. Composite ceramics are effective in improving the comprehensive properties of materials.
