Progressive resistance training not superior to neuromuscular exercise for hip OA
Progressive resistant training (PRT) does not seem to work better than neuromuscular exercise (NEMEX) for easing hip pain and improving functional performance or hip-related quality of life (QoL) in patients with hip osteoarthritis (OA), reports a recent study.

Inverse relationship between obesity, aortic pressure augmentation inhibited in women
Overweight or obesity is inversely associated with aortic pressure augmentation from peripheral wave reflection, but this association is attenuated in women, reveals a study.

Retrievable tPA-anchored nanorobots may improve thrombolysis in ischaemic stroke
Researchers in a cross-disciplinary team from the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) have developed retrievable nanorobots anchored with tissue plasminogen activator (tPA-nbots) that increase thrombolysis rates by 20 times with a 42-fold lower tPA dose than pure tPA treatment. With a catheter-assisted magnetic navigation system, the tPA-nbots recanalized distal and small vessel branches, showing potential in reducing brain damage and treatment side effects among patients with ischaemic stroke.
