A study published in BMC Complementary Medicine and Therapies finds that the combination of corrective and breathing exercises could improve pulmonary function and correct cervical and thoracic posture in patients with a history of COVID-19.
] or craniovertebral angle less than 51 degrees in a standing position, 3- not having COPD or other acute respiratory diseases, 4- not using aids to walk or perform in daily activities, 5- not having another acute and chronic physical, mental, and psychological disorder , 6- no history of neurological diseases such as Parkinson’s and multiple sclerosis, 7- no history of rheumatic or metabolic diseases, 8- the ability to participate in training sessions, 9- not regularly participating in sports...
In the experimental group, the subjects and their closest family members were practically trained in the clinic to perform the exercises correctly, including corrective and breathing exercises with supervising and monitoring the health staff. After the health staff ensured exercises were learned correctly by participants, an educational video and illustrated instructions were provided to them. Participants' performance was periodically monitored.
Dependent variables included chest width and depth , craniovertebral angle , and thoracic kyphosis , and were measured in pre-posttest sessions. Also, a spirometry test was performed to record the FEV1, FVC, SPO2, and FEV1/FVC ratio.A 60-cm flexible ruler measured the kyphosis angle. The ruler was placed between the second and the twelfth dorsal vertebra on the shock appendages of the subject to take the shape of the dorsal vertebra arch.

Oral microbial communities in 5-year-old children with versus without dental caries - BMC Oral HealthBackground Caries in young children has received more and more attention. The study of the oral microbiota may help to understand the polymicrobial etiology of dental caries. Objectives To investigate the diversity and structure of microbial communities in saliva samples from 5-year-old children with versus without dental caries. Methods A total of 36 saliva samples were collected from 18 children with high caries (HB group) and from 18 children without caries (NB group). Then, 16S rDNA was amplified from bacterial samples using polymerase chain reaction, and high-throughput sequencing was performed using Illumina Novaseq platforms. Results Sequences were clustered into operational taxonomic units (OTUs), which were distributed among 16 phyla, 26 classes, 56 orders, 93 families, 173 genera, and 218 species. Firmicutes, Bacteroides, Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria, Fusobacteria, Patescibacteria, Epsilonbacteraeota, Cyanobacteria, Acidobacteria and Spirochaetes were basically the same in different groups, but their relative abundances were different. The core microbiome was defined as the species from 218 shared microbial taxa. The alpha diversity test showed that there were no significant differences in microbial abundance and diversity between the high caries and no caries groups. The results from principal coordinate analysis (PCoA) and hierarchical clustering showed that the two groups had similar microorganisms. The biomarkers of different groups were defined by LEfSe analysis to identify potential caries-related and health-related bacteria. Co-occurrence network analysis of dominant genera showed that oral microbial communities in the no caries group were more complex and aggregated than those in the high caries group. Finally, the PICRUSt algorithm was used to predict the function of the microbial communities from saliva samples. The obtained results showed that mineral absorption was greater in the no caries group than in the high caries group. BugBase was used

Study reveals contrasting effects of sucralose on insulin and glucose controlSucralose, a commonly used artificial sweetener, has contrasting effects on insulin secretion and glucose homeostasis. While bolus administration of sucralose enhances insulin secretion and decreases glucose levels, long-term consumption exacerbates insulin resistance and glucose intolerance, particularly in combination with a high-fat diet. The study highlights the involvement of the T1R3-ERK1/2 pathway in sucralose-induced insulin resistance in the liver.

The effect of calcium supplementation on calcium and bone metabolism during load carriage in women: protocol for a randomised controlled crossover trial - BMC Musculoskeletal DisordersBackground Military field exercises are characterised by high volumes of exercise and prolonged periods of load carriage. Exercise can decrease circulating serum calcium and increase parathyroid hormone and bone resorption. These disturbances to calcium and bone metabolism can be attenuated with calcium supplementation immediately before exercise. This randomised crossover trial will investigate the effect of calcium supplementation on calcium and bone metabolism, and bone mineral balance, during load carriage exercise in women. Methods Thirty women (eumenorrheic or using the combined oral contraceptive pill, intrauterine system, or intrauterine device) will complete two experimental testing sessions either with, or without, a calcium supplement (1000 mg). Each experimental testing session will involve one 120 min session of load carriage exercise carrying 20 kg. Venous blood samples will be taken and analysed for biochemical markers of bone resorption and formation, calcium metabolism, and endocrine function. Urine will be collected pre- and post-load carriage to measure calcium isotopes for the calculation of bone calcium balance. Discussion The results from this study will help identify whether supplementing women with calcium during load carriage is protective of bone and calcium homeostasis. Trial registration NCT04823156 (clinicaltrials.gov).
