The effects of ultrasound (0, 300 and 600 W for 20 min at the frequency of 20 kHz) followed by postmortem aging (0, 4 and 8 d aging time) on beef quality were evaluated. Ultrasound treatment, aging time and their interaction all significantly affected the pH and tenderness of beef (p < 0.05). Furthermore, ultrasound improved the cathepsin B + L activities and the solubility of collagen compared with the control without ultrasound treatment (p < 0.05). In terms of microstructure, the perimysium was ruptured by the ultrasound treatment which caused the collagen fibers to be disorderly and loosely arranged. In addition, ultrasound could affect the structural stability of collagen resulting in a significant reduction of thermal denaturation temperature (p < 0.05). The results showed that ultrasound could improve beef tenderness during postmortem aging by changing collagen structure and regulating the activities of cathepsin B + L.

Lumbar Spine Injuries in Recreational Athletes: A Review.
J Am Acad Orthop Surg
January 2025
From the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery (Dr. Hsu), Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, Chicago, IL, the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Atrium Health (Dr. Turk), Carolinas Medical Center, Charlotte, NC, and the OrthoCarolina Spine Center (Dr. Spector), Charlotte, NC.
Back pain that is associated with lumbar spine pathology is a growing issue in the athlete population. As an aging population continues to remain active, it is essential for primary care physicians, general orthopaedic surgeons, and spine surgeons alike to understand the nuances of diagnosis and management in the recreational athlete population. This is a unique population due to the increased importance placed on returning to high levels of activity, but, by definition, they enjoy less resources and financial incentive to optimize their rehabilitation and return to sport compared with professional athletes.

Background: 4-(4-Cyanophenyl)-2-(2-cyclopentylidenehydrazinyl)thiazole (remodelin) is a potent N-acetyltransferase 10 (NAT10) inhibitor. This compound inhibits tumors and weakens tumor resistance to antitumor drugs. Moreover, remodelin has been found to enhance healthspan in an animal model of the human accelerated ageing syndrome.

Background: Dementia is one of the most pressing health concerns among the ageing population, imposing significant health, financial and caregiving burdens on people with dementia (PWD), their families and caregivers. Building the capacity of nursing students is essential for effectively improving quality of life for affected people. This study aimed to assess nursing students' knowledge and attitudes toward dementia and its associated factors.

Aging and Development Unit, African Population and Health Research Center, Nairobi, Kenya.
Aim: Few studies have longitudinally assessed the determinants of limitations in activities of daily living (LADL) among persons aged ≥80 years. The aim of this study was to estimate the determinants of LADL among persons aged ≥80 years based on 4-wave national longitudinal data from Thailand.
Methods: Data from the Health, Aging and Retirement in Thailand study from 2015, 2017, 2020 and 2022 were utilized.
Yttrium aluminum garnet fluorescent conversion films for solid-state lighting: interface reaction synthesis strategy and modulation of warm white light.

Traditional preparation of yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG) transparent ceramics involves several steps, including powder preparation, molding process and sintering at high temperature. Herein, a new and simple method was developed to prepare YAG transparent polycrystalline films directly through a novel interface reaction between sapphire and a Y(OH)(CO)(NO)·HO film attached to the sapphire. The prepared YAG:5%Ce transparent polycrystalline film could be combined with a blue chip to obtain fluorescence-converted white LED, with a CCT of 6361 K and a CRI (Ra) of 73.
