Nanovesicles for Sensitive Skin Care Developed via Self-Assembly of Glutamine Linoleate
CONCLUSIONS: QLAsomes showed up to 32% higher expression inhibition of key skin sensitization-related factors than individual components, and based on this, improved pruritus by 67% more than placebo. As nanovesicles with skin-soothing properties, they are effective for drug encapsulation and managing skin sensitivity in pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. →

Electrical Muscle Stimulation With or Without Blood Flow Restriction Does Not Prevent the Impairment in Glycemic Control After 1 Week of Physical Inactivity
Physical inactivity depresses glycemic control, an impairment that can be prevented with exercise. We investigated whether electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) with blood flow restriction (BFR) could similarly prevent the impairments in glycemic control associated with physical inactivity and whether this was effective for attenuating the loss of physical function after inactivity. Thirty-two participants underwent 1… →

Concurrent effects of high-intensity interval training and vitamin D supplementation on bone metabolism among women diagnosed with osteoporosis: a randomized controlled trial
CONCLUSIONS: Sixteen weeks of HIIT and vitamin D consumption showed greater benefits for BMD levels in women with osteoporosis than either vitamin D consumption or HIIT training alone. Therefore, HIIT plus vitamin D consumption may be a strategic option to prevent BMD reduction with aging or to slow demineralization. →

Clinical evaluation of in-office bleaching with low, medium, and high concentrate hydrogen peroxide: a 6-month a double-blinded randomized controlled trial
CONCLUSION: Low, medium, and high concentrations of HP did not affect both the final tooth color and the reported TS intensity, regardless of the evaluation time. In-office bleaching provides positive effects on aesthetic perception and different HP concentrations have not influenced this positive effect. →
