Abstract Global health organizations have provided recommendations regarding exercise for the general population. Strength training has been included in several position statements due to its multi-systemic benefits. In this narrative review, we examine the available literature, first explaining how specific mechanical loading is converted into positive cellular responses. Secondly, benefits related to specific musculoskeletal tissues are discussed, with practical applications...

Abstract In accordance with Article 6 of Regulation (EC ) No 396/2005, the applicants Bayer CropScience AG and Bayer SAS submitted two requests to the competent national authority in the Netherlands to set import tolerances and to modify existing EU maximum residue levels (MRL s) for the active substance flupyradifurone and its metabolite difluoroacetic acid (DFA ) in various crops. The application also included the request to evaluate the confirmatory data related to residues that were identified...
Abstract The conclusions of the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA ) following the peer review of the initial risk assessments carried out by the competent authorities of the rapporteur Member State, the Netherlands, and co‐rapporteur Member State, France, for the pesticide active substance Akanthomyces muscarius strain Ve6 formerly Lecanicillium muscarium strain Ve6 are reported. The context of the peer review was that required by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU ) No 844/2012 as amended...
Abstract In accordance with Article 6 of Regulation (EC ) No 396/2005, the applicant Syngenta Agro GmbH submitted a request to the competent national authority in Germany to modify the existing maximum residue level (MRL ) for the active substance lambda‐cyhalothrin in seed and fruit spices. The data submitted in support of the request were found to be sufficient to derive MRL proposals in seed spices and in fruit spices. Since the general data gap related to toxicity of degradation products formed...

Background and Objectives Laser‐induced thermal injuries are a heavily researched topic in laser medicine and biomedicine. To explore the quantitative biological effects of laser‐induced injury repair, we propose an optical imaging‐based in vivo evaluation method and discuss the injury effect and repair characteristics of skin tissue. Study Design/Materials and Methods A supercontinumm laser (spectrum width ranged from 400 to 2400 nm) was used to irradiate live mice. The radiation doses were...
Background and Objectives Enumerating circulating tumor cells has been used as a method of monitoring progression of various cancers. Various methods for detecting circulating melanoma cells (CMCs) have been reported, but none has had sufficient sensitivity to determine if the presence of rare CMCs in the blood of Stage I–III melanoma patients predicts if those patients eventually develop metastatic disease. Study Design We quantified CMCs in serial blood samples from 38 early stage melanoma...

Abstract COVID‐19 is a global pandemic that emerged from Wuhan, China. Besides pneumonia and acute respiratory distress syndrome, the disease leads to multisystem involvement in the form of myocarditis, arrhythmias, cardiac arrest, gastrointestinal symptoms, hypoxemic brain injury, acute liver and renal function impairment. There are also reports of cutaneous lesions in form of urticarial and maculopapular rashes, chilblain like fingers and toes (covid feet), livedoid vasculopathy and chicken‐pox...
Abstract Background Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is known as the most common type of non‐melanoma skin cancer (NMSC) worldwide. The aim of this study is to show the effectiveness of photodynamic therapy and cryotherapy on patients with BCCs with the use of meta‐analyses in order to see if there is a possible superiority of one treatment over the other. Methods We searched the databases Pubmed, MEDLINE, CINAHL, Scopus, OVID, Embase, Science Direct, JAMA Dermatology and Research Gate in April...
Abstract Hidradenitis suppurativa/ acne inversa (HS/AI) is one of the most debilitating dermatoses with a strong negative impact on every dimension of quality of life. Treatment is dependent on the severity of clinical manifestations and comorbidities. While anti‐inflammatory and antimicrobial approaches are recommended for mild and moderate stages, immunomodulatory drugs have gained increasing interest in all stages of HS/AI. We reviewed the available data on this subject in a narrative review...

Abstract Objective Although, stress is considered a contributor in the development and exacerbation of psoriasis, few prospective studies have presented evaluations of the association between stress and psoriasis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the perceived stress, depression and anxiety profiles in patients with psoriasis.

Abstract Autoimmune blistering diseases can eventually cause life‐threatening complications if left untreated. Although there is no cure for these bullous diseases; their therapy is based on suppressing the immune system to cease the de novo formation of the generated antibodies. The current study aimed to assess the safety and efficacy of using standing alone alternative therapies beyond systemic steroids for management of autoimmune bullous diseases. We searched six literature databases for both...

Abstract The current pandemic of a novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) began in December 2019 in Wuhan, China, and has since spread worldwide. Pandemic preparedness has been an ongoing project in Iceland since the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) epidemic in 2003‐2004. In mid‐January 2020, The Directorate of Health (DOH) and The Department of Civil Protection and Emergency Management (DCPEM) revised the current pandemic preparedness response plan. The DOH and DCPEM, in close collaboration...

Abstract Background Approximately one in five workers are employed in night shift work. Epidemiological studies suggest that night shift workers are at a higher risk for mental illnesses, including depression and anxiety, which are an increasingly important socioeconomic burden for the workforce. Thus, it is important to determine how shift work negatively impacts mood, as it will help identify mechanisms that underlie a night shift worker’s higher risk for developing mood disturbances. Methods...
Abstract Parkinson’s disease (PD) affects the automatic control of body movements. In our study, we tested PD‐related impairments in automatic postural control in quiet upright stance. Twenty PD patients (mean age: 60±8 years; Hoehn and Yahr: 2.00±0.32, on‐drug) and twenty age‐matched controls (61±7 years) were recruited. We studied interrelations between center‐of‐pressure movements, body movements (head, neck, lower back), eye movements and variability of pupil size. Participants performed two...
