Aim: The aim of the present study was to show that an increase in weight leads to the aggravation of limited joint mobility.
Method: One hundred sixteen patients with varicose veins of the lower limbs and body mass index (BMI) higher than 30 kg/m were evaluated at the Belczak Clinic in Maringá, Brazil. All patients were evaluated by the same physician, and the goniometric readings were performed on all patients by a physiotherapist. The participants were then divided into three groups based on BMI: Group I-BMI between 30 and 40. Group II-BMI between 40 and 50, and Group III-BMI > 50.
Results: There is a significant difference between the groups detected.
Conclusion: The present findings show that an increased BMI in obese individuals with chronic venous disease is associated with a progressive limitation of ankle mobility.

Waterlogging stress is a significant abiotic factor that severely limits plant growth and development. Identifying genes involved in the waterlogging stress response and understanding the mechanisms by which plants resist waterlogging stress are therefore critical. In this study, we identified a specific role for two transcription factors, BPC1 and BPC2, in the waterlogging stress response of Arabidopsis thaliana.

Pulmonary hypertension (PH) increases the mortality of preterm infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). There are no curative therapies for this disease. Lung endothelial carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1a (Cpt1a), the rate-limiting enzyme of the carnitine shuttle system, is reduced in a rodent model of BPD.

Article Synopsis
- Carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) is a major clinical concern due to limited treatment options, worsened by the emergence of KPC and NDM co-producing strains.
- A study identified 15 strains involved in an outbreak affecting 10 patients between October 2020 and May 2021, characterized by a highly stable hybrid plasmid co-harboring resistance genes.
- Global genomic analysis of 327 KPC-NDM-CRKP genomes revealed potential transmission events during the COVID-19 period, highlighting the urgent public health threat posed by these resistant strains.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disease in the world. Currently, PD is incurable, and the diagnosis of PD mainly relies on clinical manifestations. The central pathological event in PD is the abnormal aggregation and deposition of misfolded α-synuclein (α-Syn) protein aggregates in the Lewy body (LB) in affected brain areas.

Cataracts can reduce the quality of vision in visually impaired patients who already have a visual impairment. The most common causes of low vision include age-related macular degeneration (AMD), high myopia (HM), diabetic retinopathy (DR), glaucoma (GL), and inherited degenerative ocular diseases. The surgery aims to improve their independence, quality of life, and ability to engage in daily, social, and work activities.
