REDUCTIONS IN MUSCLE STRENGTH AND RANGE OF MOTION CAUSE LOCOMOTION DISABILITY VIA LOCOMOTION-RELATED FUNCTIONAL LIMITATION IN JAPANESE OLDER ADULTS: A CROSS-SECTIONAL STUDY

Background.Functional issues (impairments, functional limitations, and disabilities) gradually occur with age.Nonetheless, maintaining physical capability may help prevent locomotion disabilities at an older age.The present study aimed to determine whether reductions in muscle strength and range of motion (ROM) cause locomotion disability via locom

Geographical accessibility is important for promoting health equity, and calculating it sweater requires the locations of all existing healthcare facilities in a region.Authoritative location data collected by governments is accurate but mostly not publicly available, while point-of-interest (POI) data from online sources, such as Baidu Maps and Au

Signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) is implicated in inflammation processing, but the mechanism of its regulation mostly remains limited to Janus kinase (JAK)-mediated phosphorylation.Although AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK)-mediated STAT3 inactivation has got documented, the molecular signaling cascade connecting BATHROO

The genus Eucalyptus is a globally captivated source of hardwood and is well known for its medicinal uses.The hybrid and wild species of Eucalyptus are widely used as exotic plantations due to their renowned potential of adapting to various systems and sites, and rapid large-scale propagation of genetically Drawing similar plantlets, which further

The adoption of bus rapid transit (BRT) systems has gained worldwide popularity over the past several decades.China is no exception as it has long been aiming at promoting public transportation.Prior studies have provided extensive evidence that BRT has substantial effects on house prices with traditional econometric techniques, such as hedonic pri
