Human erythrocytes were stored as resuspensions in solutions containing citrate (Z), inosine + citrate (I), inosine + phosphate (IP), and inosine + phosphate + pyruvate (IPP). The storage was made at + 4 degrees C for 6 weeks; the initial pH-value amounted to 7.4 at + 4 degrees C. The cellular concentrations of 2.3 DPG, ATP, G6P, FDP and DOAP + GAP were determined. The following results were obtained: 1. During the storage in stored Z-blood the 2.3 DPG concentration will fall below 10% of its initial value; it will remain nearly unchanged in stored I-blood and will increase to 170% in stored IP-blood, to 270% of its initial value in stored IPP-blood. 2. The ATP concentration of cells will fall to about 50% of its initial value at the beginning of the storage of all stored blood. After that it will only increase to about 80% of its initial value in stored IP- and IPP-blood. 3. During the storage the G6P concentration will increase to the highest degree in stored IPP-blood and if high pyruvate concentrations are not present, it will have a reciprocal behaviour towards the FDP and triosephosphate level. The results were discussed in view of the regulation of glycolysis under storage conditions.

Background: Preeclampsia (PE) is characterized as de novo hypertension (HTN) with end-organ damage, especially in the brain. PE is hypothesized to be caused by placental ischemia. PE affects ~5-8% of USA pregnancies and increases the risk for HTN and cerebrovascular diseases (CVD) later in life.

Background: Knee Osteoarthritis (KOA) is a prevalent condition worldwide, significantly diminishing quality of life and productivity. Except for the alignment change, muscle activation patterns (MAP) have garnered increasing attention as another crucial factor contributing to KOA.
Objective: This study explores the factors, characteristics, and effects of MAP changes caused by KOA, providing a neuromuscular-based causal analysis for the rehabilitation treatment of KOA.

Background: Riparian zones are vital transitional habitats that bridge the gap between terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. They support elevated levels of biodiversity and provide an array of important regulatory and provisioning ecosystem services, of which, many are fundamentally important to human well-being, such as the maintenance of water quality and the mitigation of flood risk along waterways. Increasing anthropogenic pressures resulting from agricultural intensification, industry development and the expansion of infrastructure in tropical regions have led to the widespread degradation of riparian habitats resulting in biodiversity loss and decreased resilience to flooding and erosion.

Background: Klebsiella pneumoniae is one of the most prevalent pathogens responsible for multiple infections in healthcare settings and the community. K. pneumoniae CG147, primarily including ST147 (the founder ST), ST273, and ST392, is one of the most globally successful MDR clone linked to various carbapenemases.

Background: A new paradigm of hybrid working exists, with most office workers sharing their work between the office and home office environment. Working from home increases time spent or prolonged sitting, which is associated with an increased risk of chronic disease. Interventions to reduce sitting time, specifically designed for both the office and home-office environments, are required to address this growing public health issue.
