Background: Multimodal exercise programs do not specifically target lumbar paraspinal musculature, but incorporate aspects of different exercises to have an overall benefit. Objective: To investigate the effect of a multimodal exercise program on paraspinal muscle volume and composition, and patient outcomes in individuals with chronic low back pain (CLB ...

Microwave-assisted synthesis offers several advantages over conventional methods, including shorter reaction times and more efficient heating in systems containing polar solvents such as water or ethanol. These features can be exploited to prepare and modify active photocatalysts for H2-production reactions, allowing precise tuning of composition and fina ...

Purpose: Cardiolipin is a phospholipid located in the inner mitochondrial membrane and is released following myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury. While cardiolipin has documented effects in several tissues, its impact on skeletal muscle function and mitochondrial respiration remains unclear. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of e ...

In a context of government cutbacks, non-profit labour-market intermediaries are assuming a more significant role in efforts to combat precarious employment. Yet such organizations are still subject to state funding regimes, regulations, oversight and neoliberal logics. As such, some scholars argue that they constitute "shadow state" spaces. In ...

The widespread use of single-use plastic (SUP) water bottles has raised growing concerns about chronic human exposure to nanoplastics (NPs). This study presents a quantitative assessment of NP accumulation in human tissues resulting from the long-term consumption of SUP water bottles. Using survey-derived consumption data and the Human Exposure and Absorp ...

Purpose: Computer- and robotic-assisted technologies improve total knee arthroplasty (TKA) through intraoperative bone registration. However, limited bone exposure restricts point collection to the distal femur, omitting key geometric features and reducing registration accuracy and the surgical outcomes. Methods: We introduce a deep learning-based method ...
