Revision Arthroplasty in Vancouver B1 Periprosthetic Hip Fractures

Introduction: Periprosthetic hip fractures (PHF) represent an important complication after hip arthroplasty. The management of Vancouver B1 fractures remains elusive. While most stems may present radiographically as stable, stem fixation may in fact be compromised. Choosing plate osteosynthesis as a treatment in this type of fractures, trusting radiographic studies alone may lead to implant failure. Methods: We...

Living on the edge: parasite communities of three-spined stickleback fish popul...

This study involved collecting parasite data from populations inhabiting the most southern end of the species distribution in the North Atlantic (i.e., Portugal), aiming to understand the di erences in parasite community associated with the populations that persist at such low latitudes.

Identifying the gaps regarding exposure to aeroallergens in schools: systematic...

Background: Allergic diseases are a major concern in high-income countries, and their occurrence continues to increase worldwide. Despite previous studies reporting the health effects of exposure to both chemical and (micro)biological agents, aeroallergens have been less well studied. Most studies have focused on exposure to indoor allergens at home. However, exposure can happen in other environments, including...

Mediterranean Diet-Based Sustainable Healthy Diet and Multicomponent Training C...

<jats:p>Background: Diet and exercise interventions have been associated with improved body composition and physical fitness. However, evidence regarding their combined effects in older adults is scarce. This study aimed to investigate the impact of a combined 12-week Mediterranean diet-based sustainable healthy diet (SHD) and multicomponent training (MT) intervention on body composition, anthropometry, and phy...

Association between urinary sodium excretion and body fat in school-aged childr...

Childhood obesity has been associated with increased sodium intake. Nonetheless, evidence linking sodium intake to Body Mass Index (BMI) and Body Fat Mass Percentage (%BF) remains limited, especially in the pediatric age group. Therefore, this study aims to investigate whether there is an association between 24 h urinary sodium excretion with BMI and %BF in a sample group of children from the ARIA study. This c...
