Multimorbidity of hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidemia and influencing factors of family function among the elderly of original residential communities of Guangzhou city by Huang Zhijie, Mai Zhihua, Wang Haoxiang, He Yuming, Deng Qiaoyan, Dai Ranran, Zhou Zhiheng

“…Multivariate linear regression analysis identified gender (female: β = -0.148, t = -2.275, P = 0.023), place of residence (Apartment complex: β = -0.155, t = -2.402, P = 0.016), and fasting blood glucose levels (abnormal glucose: β = -0.045, t = -2.465, P = 0.014) as risk factors for lower total family function scores. On the other hand, the number of family members with hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidemia (two or more: β = 0.174, t = 2.356, P = 0.026) and the type of disease patterns (comorbidity of two conditions: β = 0.193, t = 2.586, P = 0.010; comorbidity of all three conditions: β = 0.342, t = 3.248, P = 0.001) were identified as protective factors for higher total family function scores. …”

Biogeochemical functioning of Lake Alaotra (Madagascar): a reset of aquatic carbon sources along the land–ocean aquatic continuum by V. F. Razanamahandry, A. V. Borges, L. Brosens, C. Morana, T. Razafimbelo, T. Rafolisy, G. Govers, S. Bouillon

“…When CO<span class="inline-formula">₂</span>-supersaturated riverine water enters the open lake, increased turbulence caused by wind fetch enhances gas exchange with the atmosphere, allowing CO<span class="inline-formula">₂</span> to escape more readily from the water column. The biogeochemical functioning of Lake Alaotra differs substantially from the large and deeper East African (sub)tropical lakes and is more similar to lakes surrounded by flooded forests in the Congo River basin, likely due to a combination of its large surface area and shallow water depth and the large extent of surrounding wetlands and floodplains. …”

Effects of ginger supplementation in individuals with mild to moderate joint pain I: ratings of pain, functional capacity, and markers of inflammation by Jacob Broeckel, Landry Estes, Megan Leonard, Broderick Dickerson, Drew E. Gonzalez, Martin Purpura, Ralf Jäger, Ryan Sowinski, Christopher J. Rasmussen, Richard B. Kreider

“…Participants were matched by age, sex, and body mass for double-blind and to ingest 125 mg/d of a placebo or ginger (GingerT3®, Specnova LLC, Tysons Corner, Virginia), standardized to contain 10% total gingerols and no more than 3% total shogaols) for 58 days. Data were analyzed using the general linear model (GLM) analysis of variance with repeated measures, mean changes from baseline with 95% confidence intervals, and chi-squared analysis.Results There was evidence that ginger supplementation: 1.) attenuated perceptions of muscle pain in the vastus medialis (Day 2: χ2 p = 0.087); 2.) reported less pain from sitting (Day 2: χ2 p = 0.02), while nocturnal pain (Day 32: χ2 p = 0.075, Day 58: (χ2 p = 0.097), weight bearing pain (Day 32: χ2 p = 0.058), physical functioning of performing heavy duties (Day 32: χ2 p = 0.100), and physical functioning of performing light duties (Day 2: χ2 p = 0.064) on WOMAC questions; 3.) experienced significant reductions in WOMAC overall ratings of pain, stiffness, physical function, and total score values, particularly in 48-hour follow-up measures; 4.) reported less pain during nighttime bed rest (Day 2: χ2 p = 0.065; Day 32: χ2 p = 0.032) and when going up and down stairs (Day 32: χ2 p = 0.097) from the LEQ; and, 5.) promoted significant differences over time and/or between groups in IL-β, IL-5, IL-6, IL-8, INF-γ, TNF-α, and high sensitivity C-reactive Protein at various points during the study.Conclusion Ginger supplementation promotes some favorable effects on exercise-induced perceptions of pain, functional capacity, and inflammatory markers in men and women who have mild to moderate muscle and joint pain.Registered clinical trial #ISRCTN74292348.…”
