Distribution of Polymorphisms Associated With Obesity in a Sample of Admixed Mexican Adults

Luis Orlando Pérez · Anahi Ruderman · Juan Camilo Chacón‐Duque · Kaustubh Adhikari · y 9 más

ABSTRACT Objective In Mexico, two‐thirds of the adult population are overweight and almost a quarter are affected by obesity. These high obesity rates are primarily attributed to low‐nutrient, high‐calorie diets, reduced physical activity, and to a certain extent, genetic factors. Most genetic variants for obesity risk...

Surface co-application of dolomitic lime and a compost-biochar mixture to enhance Cd and Ni immobilization in cacao-growing soils

Julián E López · Óscar Hincapié · Juan F Saldarriaga

Abstract The reduction of Cd and Ni bioavailability in cacao-growing soils is critical due to international regulatory limits for these elements in cacao-derived products. Although liming materials are widely used to increase soil pH and reduce metal bioavailability, in cacao plantations they are typically applied supe...

Editorial Commentary : Static and Dynamic Synergy May Be the Evolving Role of Biceps and Tendon Transfers in the Treatment of Irreparable Rotator Cuff Tears

Paulo J. Llinás

Abstract The challenge of managing massive irreparable rotator cuff tears is not solved through technical complexity alone but through achieving balance between biological restoration and mechanical reinforcement. Superior capsule reconstruction using the long head of the biceps tendon offers static and dynamic advanta...
