Balmayor

“…For the initial fracture stabilization, Early Total Care (ETC) and Damage Control Orthopedics (DCO) are competing concepts, with the treatment choice depending on the patient’s condition. Clear guidance factors remain lacking. Our study aimed to compare the effects of ETC and DCO strategies on fracture healing and functional gait behaviour in a rat multiple-trauma model. …”

The cost effectiveness of a multidomain intervention on physical, cognitive, vascular, dietary and psychosocial outcomes among community dwelling older adults with cognitive frailt... by Pavapriya Ponvel, Suzana Shahar, Devinder Kaur Ajit Singh, Arimi Fitri Mat Ludin, Ponnusamy Subramaniam, Norhayati Ibrahim, Hasnah Haron, Aniza Ismail, Chin Ai-Vyrn, Mazlyfarina Mohamad, Hidayah Fadzil, Norhayati Mustafa Khalid, A’isyah Mohammad Safien, Jamilah Mohammad Hanipah, Azyana Ibrahim, Jenni Lehtisalo, Miia Kivipelto, Francesca Mangialasche

“…Conclusion The AGELESS trial demonstrates that a multidomain, lifestyle-based intervention can improve cognitive and physical function in older adults with (pre)-CF. This cost-effective approach highlights CF as a modifiable health condition and supports its potential inclusion in health policy to promote healthy aging and reduce health risks in LMICs, where there is a larger prevention potential due to prevalent lifestyle-related risk factors.…”

Catch-up growth following early-life stunting in a low-resource area in rural Tanzania: the MAL-ED Metabolic study by Estomih Mduma, Samwel Jatosh, Mark D DeBoer, Eric R Houpt, Kiya Nemati, Yotham Z Michael, Bernadetha P Hhando

“…We assessed outcomes of height-for-age z-score (HAZ), stunting and catch-up growth using mixed-model linear and logistic regression to assess associations of maternal education, household income, socioeconomic status, insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) and thyroid function tests. We defined stunting as HAZ ≤−2 and catch-up growth both as stunting resolved from age 2 years to 11.5 years and a HAZ increase of >0.5 from 2 years to 11.5 years.Results Cohort participants exhibited a moderate amount of catch-up growth, with per cent stunting decreasing from 72.6% at 2 years to 39.0% at 11.5 years. …”

Development of Modified Grouting Material and Its Application in Roadway Repair Engineering by Yang Yu, Zhengyuan Qin, Xiangyu Wang, Lianying Zhang, Dingchao Chen, Siyu Zhu

“…The basic properties of the modified grouting materials were studied from the aspects of slurry flow state, diffusion range, and grouting parameters by using the numerical simulation method, and the reinforcement mechanism of slurry to the broken surrounding rock properties of the roadway was revealed: (1) the grouting pressure is the main factor affecting the slurry diffusion radius; (2) the mechanical properties of the roadway surrounding rock are improved, the plastic zone and deformation of surrounding rock are reduced, and the active support function of the anchor and cable is enhanced through grouting reinforcement; (3) the control effect of the roadway is improved, and the balanced bearing with anchorage structure of the roadway surrounding rock is realized through grouting reinforcement. …”
