13. FGF23 levels as a marker of physical performance and falls in community-dwelling very old individuals
ABSTRACT Objective: The fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) has been related to biological aging, but data in elderly individuals are scant. We determined the profile of serum FGF23 levels in a population of very-old individuals and studied their correlations with parameters of bone metabolism and health markers, as functional performance. Materials and me

14. Return to work after severe traumatic brain injury: further investigation of the role of personality changes
Objective: Longitudinal measurement invariance analyses are an important way to assess a test’s ability to estimate the underlying construct over time, ensuring that cognitive scores across visits represent a similar underlying construct, and that changes in test performance are attributable to individual change in cognitive abilities. We aimed to evaluat

15. Lung function and stress echocardiography in pulmonary arterial hypertension: a cross-sectional study
ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: The mechanism of exercise limitation in idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (IPAH) is not fully understood. The role of hemodynamic alterations is well recognized, but mechanical, ventilatory and gasometric factors may also contribute to reduction of exercise capacity in these individuals. OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether there

16. An Alternative Description for the Electronegativity Difference in Binary Ionic Solids
We are introducing an alternative analytical expression to the electronegativity difference (∆χ) as a function of the charge ge, g is the charge factor, the fraction of the electronic charge devoted to the bond and e the elementary charge, the packing factor (p) and the effective atomic number (Zeff) of binary ionic solids, by using the very basic Coulomb

17. Reasons to avoid vitamin D deficiency during COVID-19 pandemic
ABSTRACT The effects of vitamin D on the musculoskeletal system are well established. Its deficiency causes osteomalacia, secondary hyperparathyroidism, and an increased risk for fractures and falls. However, clinical and experimental evidence points to extra-skeletal actions of vitamin D, including on immune and respiratory systems. Thus, during this COVID-

18. Decreased levels of interleukin 27 in the serum of vitiligo patients,
Abstract Background: Vitiligo is a common skin disorder in which melanocytes are destroyed by auto-reactive immune responses. The loss of melanocytes results in the appearance of depigmented areas in different parts of the body. Cytokines have remarkable roles in the pathogenesis of vitiligo, such as IL-1, IL-6, and TNF-α; interleukin 27 (IL-27) is a new m

23. Correlations among vitamin K intake, body fat, lipid profile and glucose homeostasis in adults and the elderly
ABSTRACT Objective Recent research has investigated the possible inverse relationship between vitamin K intake and body fat. In addition, an increasing number of studies are supporting a key role for this vitamin in improving lipid profile and insulin sensitivity and reducing the risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus, but little is known about what mechanisms w

24. Effects of therapeutic plasma exchange on liver function test and coagulation parameters in acute liver failure patients
ABSTRACT Background: Currently the treatment of choice for critical liver failure is liver transplantation. Liver failure is treated conservatively until a matching liver donor becomes available. The therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) plays an important role as a bridge to transplantation by removing accumulated toxins from patient plasma, as well as restori
