Background: Telehealth is a novel therapeutic alternative.
Aim: To determine the effects of a remote therapeutic physical exercise program (TPEP), based on telehealth, on functional physical capacity in people with knee or hip osteoarthritis.
Patients And Methods: An eight-week TPEP was undertaken by 36 participants with a mean age of 68 years. The control group received printed exercise instructions, while the experimental group received the same instructions plus TPEP using tutorial videos and voice messaging via WhatsApp. Both groups were evaluated at baseline and the end of the intervention with the Lower Extremity Functional Scale (LEFS), Barthel index (BI), Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB), senior fitness test and with the Visual Analog Scale for pain (VAS).
Results: The experimental group decreased the VAS score and improved tandem balance, three-meter walk, sit and stand 5 times, sit and stand in 30 seconds, push-ups in 30 seconds, two minutes' walk, join the right hand behind the back and SPPB general score. The control group increased the BI score and improved the three meters walking test, sitting, and standing 5 times, sit and stand 30 seconds chair test, 2 minutes walking test and the SPPB general score. No differences between groups were observed for the LEFS scale, BI, VAS and functional capacity.
Conclusions: A TPEP based on telehealth has similar effectiveness than a TPEP based on traditional paper-based intervention to improve functional physical capacity in patients with OA. (Rev Med Chile 2022; 150: 33-45).

Introduction And Objectives: Postacute COVID syndrome (PACS) is common after acute SARS-CoV-2 infection. One of the most frequent and disabling symptoms is exercise intolerance (EI). Recent evidence suggests that EI in PACS has a peripheral (metabolic-neuromuscular) origin, suggesting that exercise training may be an effective treatment.

Therapeutic peptides (TPeps) have expanded from the initial endogenous peptides to complex modified peptides through medicinal chemistry efforts for almost a century. Different from small molecules and large proteins, the diverse submodalities of TPeps have distinct structures and carry different absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) properties. There is no distinct regulatory guidance for the industry on conducting ADME studies (what, how, and when) for TPeps.

In this work, a dispersible graphene-based material with a characteristic of aggregation-induced emission (AIE) was prepared by wet chemical reduction of graphene oxide (GO). During the GO reduction process, a conjugated molecule TPEP containing tetraphenylethylene (TPE) and pyrene was employed as a stabilizer because of the -π interactions and the wrapping effect. The as-prepared rGO-TPEP not only has good dispersion in solution but also processes the AIE feature.

Early detection of asymptomatic cases through mass screening is essential to constrain the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) transmission. However, the existing diagnostic strategies are either resource-intensive, time-consuming, or less sensitive, which limits their use in the development of rapid mass screening strategies. There is a clear pressing need for simple, fast, sensitive, and economical diagnostic strategy for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) screening even in resource-limited settings.
