Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic and prevalent musculoskeletal condition that is the underlying cause of disability in most patients worldwide. Even though the pathophysiology of KOA has not yet been fully understood and includes a wide range of risk factors, current therapeutic options are temporarily palliative rather than curative. In recent years, new strategies have focused on the curative agents. As part of this review, we highlight the latest treatment approaches for KOA.

Subclinical hyperthyroidism (SHyper), a laboratory decrease in thyroid-stimulating hormone levels with peripheral thyroid hormone levels within the reference interval, is considered a medical condition, especially its impact on cardiac hemodynamics among young women. To determine the effects of subclinical thyroid dysfunction on hemodynamics in young women. clinical observation included two groups of women: (1) the main group consisted of 30 patients with subclinical hyperthyroidism, which was examined at the Family Medicine Clinic of the West Kazakhstan Marat Ospanov Medical University (Aktobe, Kazakhstan) and (2) the control group consisted of 30 practically healthy women. The groups were comparable in age (30–42), mean age 36.2±7.0 years. Blood pressure (BP) was measured, heart rate (HR) was counted, and thyroid hormones were determined. in the examined patients, clinical symptoms of pathology were not observed; laboratory tests determined a decrease in thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) in the main group of patients to 2.48±0.23 mIU/L in comparison with the control group 3.65±1.3 mIU/L, which was significant (p0.05) increase in blood pressure SBP/DBP from 122.34±2.7/78.3±2.7 to 127.8±3.1/83.2±2.1 mmHg and HR from 77.7±1.9 to 82.2±2.6 in 1 minute. A significant (r2 =0.482) interaction was determined between TSH -0.236 mIU/L and HP +20.3 in 1 minute, this could be a predictor of an increase in heart rate greater than the reference value (60–80 per minute), and an increased heart rate is considered a predictor of an increase in blood pressure. Subclinical hyperthyroidism may produce a significant laboratory decrease in TSH, without significant clinical symptoms of increased blood pressure. In conclusion, current observational experience suggests that small decreases in laboratory values of thyroid-stimulating hormone may affect blood pressure and heart rate.

The growing number of older adults with long-term health issues has led to more family members becoming informal caregivers. These caregivers play a crucial role in providing care to their elderly loved ones. However, this caregiving can be physically and emotionally demanding, affecting the caregivers’ own well-being. This scientific mini-review examines various ways, known as “interventions,” that can help ease the challenges faced by informal caregivers and improve their quality of life. These interventions can include things like training programs, support groups, or using technology to assist caregivers. To get the most up-to-date information, we looked at the recent systematic reviews and studies published in the last 5 years. We searched for this information in three widely recognized electronic databases: PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus with full text. These interventions show promise in making life easier for informal caregivers and improving their quality of life. This mini review intends to offer insights into how these interventions can be beneficial, serving as a resource for healthcare professionals, policymakers, and researchers working to enhance the well-being of both caregivers and the elderly individuals they care for.
有长期健康问题的老年人越来越多，导致越来越多的家庭成员成为非正式护理人员。这些照顾者在照顾他们所爱的老人方面发挥着至关重要的作用。然而，这种照顾可能会对身体和情感造成很大的负担，影响照顾者自身的健康。这篇科学小综述探讨了有助于缓解非正规护理人员所面临的挑战并提高其生活质量的各种方法，即所谓的 "干预措施"。这些干预措施包括培训计划、支持小组或使用技术来帮助照顾者。为了获得最新信息，我们查阅了最近的系统综述和过去 5 年中发表的研究报告。我们在三个广泛认可的电子数据库中搜索了这些信息：PubMed、Web of Science 和 Scopus 全文。这些干预措施有望为非正式照顾者的生活带来便利，并提高他们的生活质量。本微型综述旨在深入探讨这些干预措施的益处，为医疗保健专业人员、政策制定者和研究人员提供资源，以提高护理人员及其所护理的老年人的福祉。

This article addresses the critical issue of low-vision rehabilitation (LVR) services, focusing on the challenges faced by visually impaired patients, particularly those with central visual field limitations and visual acuity of 3/60 or worse in the better eye. Glaucoma, a chronic progressive optic neuropathy, poses a significant threat to vision and quality of life. Despite the absence of a definitive cure, various treatment modalities aim to control and slow down its progression. However, the impact of glaucoma-related structural and functional vision loss on patients’ quality of life is profound. Visual rehabilitation plays a pivotal role in guiding patient-centered therapeutic decisions, yet it remains underutilized for glaucoma patients. Understanding the available LVR is crucial in developing new tools and approaches. This article provides an overview of LVR options for visually impaired individuals and emphasizes the importance of comprehensively assessing and addressing their needs, both in terms of visual function and overall well-being.

The present mini review delves into the intricate nexus between processed foods and gut health, with a focused exploration of the dynamic responses exhibited by the gut microbiome. The ubiquity of processed foods in contemporary diets has prompted inquiries into their potential ramifications for human physiological well-being. Given the acknowledged centrality of the gut microbiota in sustaining holistic health, deciphering the nuances of how processed foods impinge upon its constitution and functionality assumes critical significance. By methodically scrutinizing recent empirical investigations, this mini review elucidates the multifaceted manners through which processed foods interface with the complex web of the gut microbial consortium. It meticulously delineates alterations in microbial taxonomic diversity, community richness, and ecological equilibrium, thereby elucidating the putative mechanistic underpinnings driving the possible impact of processed food consumption on physiological equilibrium. Furthermore, the review cogitates upon the broader translational repercussions of these microbiome perturbations, cogently contemplating potential correlations with pathophysiologies encompassing but not limited to inflammation cascades, metabolic perturbations, and immune homeostasis dysregulation. By synthesizing the current compendium of empirical insights, this mini review proffers cogent perspectives into the intricate interplay between processed foods and gut health. It substantiates the exigency for augmented investigative endeavors, whilst advocating for judicious dietary selections that foster resilience and equilibrium within the intricate milieu of the gut microbiome.

The efficiency of stem cell (SC)-based therapies has been proven in numerous animal and human studies. Along with the differentiation into several lineages, it is quite evident that SCs convey significant therapeutic effects in a paracrine manner via releasing various nano-sized extracellular vesicles (EVs) containing cytokines and bioactive factors. Notably, recent trials have stated the lack of stability and durability of the transplanted SCs at the site of injury for long periods, leading to the restrictions of SC in regenerative outcomes. Thus, EVs especially exosomes (Exos) gained much attention for therapeutic purposes and delivery purposes to the injury site. In contrast to whole-SC-based therapies, Exos can be used with fewer side effects. However, it should not be forgotten that both whole-SC- and cell-free-based options possess inherent pros and cons that necessitate being carefully evaluated before application in the clinical setting. Here, the effectiveness and limitations associated with whole-SCand SC-free-based therapies in the clinical setting are briefly discussed.

The well-being of children is crucial for a nation’s demographic, economic, and intellectual prospects. Developing countries face an increasing number of children with disabilities, primarily attributed to congenital developmental defects, neurological disorders, and other health issues. Neurological disorders pose significant challenges to realizing the full potential of children and society. Early intervention is essential for improving functional outcomes in infants with neurological impairments. General Movements (GM) assessment, a predictor of subsequent neurological outcomes, plays a vital role in early detection. However, its widespread implementation in developing countries is limited. This article explores the history of GM assessment, its current state in developing countries, and the potential for mobile applications to revolutionize early assessments and interventions in developing countries.
