Published: April 2023

IntroductionOlder people spend a lot of time at home and in the area near where they live. Housing conditions ensure their ability to participate in social life, especially when they suffer from mobility restrictions. Barrier-free access to the residence and to rooms within the residence is a key condition for their everyday mobility. As a result, this is what we define as minimal criteria for barrier-reduced residences. This article examines the extent to which people aged 65 and over (including people with mobility issues) live in barrier-reduced housing and what factors influence the chance of living in such residences.Data and methodCross-sectional data from the German Ageing Survey (DEAS) 2020/21 (persons aged 65 and over, n = 2,854) were used. The DEAS is a representative cross-sectional and longitudinal survey of the population aged 40 and over in Germany. In our analyses, we used logistic regression models to investigate the probability of living in a barrier-reduced residence. We defined housing as barrier-reduced when the apartment/house and the rooms inside it can be reached without steps or stairs. As explanatory variable, we considered mobility restrictions, defined as limited ability to climb a flight of stairs. In addition, the model includes other individual factors (age, gender, equivalized household income), regional factors (living in East vs. West Germany, in urban vs. rural region) and moving to the current residence after the age of 65.Results and discussionOf all individuals aged 65 or older, 19.3 percent live in a barrier-reduced residence. Also, of mobility-restricted elders, only 21.4 percent have such residences. The logistic regression results show that mobility restrictions are associated with a higher probability of living in a barrier-reduced residence. Compared to the lowest income group, older people in the highest income group are more likely to live in barrier-reduced housing. East Germans and people in urban areas are less likely to live in a barrier-reduced home. The likelihood of barrier-reduced living is higher among seniors who moved into their current residence after age 65. No significant differences were found for age groups and gender. The findings show that not enough seniors have barrier-reduced access to their homes and rooms, even if they suffer from mobility restrictions. Preventing functional restrictions must therefore also include improvements in the residential environment, especially in disadvantaged residential areas.

Passive evaporative coolers have a huge potential to help smallholder farmers to preserve their fresh fruit and vegetables longer after harvest. However, we could benefit from more transparent information on where evaporative coolers perform sufficiently well to extend the postharvest life of the fresh produce significantly. Unsatisfactory evaporative cooler performance is a potential cause for farmers' limited adoption of this technology to reduce food losses. Our objective is to present easy-to-use tools that help to better scope regions with the best potential for direct passive evaporative coolers and for effectively deploying it. This information should help avoid installing evaporative coolers in areas with environmental conditions that only induce a temperature depression of a few degrees Celsius. Concretely, we developed design charts of the achievable temperature depression by evaporative cooling based on the local air temperature and humidity. We quantified for apple, banana, mango, and tomato the resulting additional days in postharvest life gained by storing the produce in an evaporative cooler. For these fruits, the gain in postharvest life using passive cooling is roughly 2–15 days for temperate climates with an ambient temperature of 20°C and a humidity of 50%. We present geographical maps of India, Nigeria, and the entire world at a 30 km resolution that answer how much evaporative cooling can maximally decrease the produce temperature and extend postharvest life for banana fruit. We found that passive evaporative cooling could induce up to a 7-day gain in postharvest life. We make these maps available online. We also quantify how well evaporative coolers perform concerning reducing the temperature and how they should be sized. Our results will facilitate installing evaporative coolers only in suitable regions. Our data also show in which months the cooler can be operated with the best performance. We thereby help avoid disillusion and loss of trust in the technology with smallholder farmers, policymakers, farmers, or farmer cooperatives. Further catalyzing the implementation of small-scale evaporative coolers can bring farmers significant gains in postharvest life, reduce food losses, and increase revenues.
Increasing breast support is associated with altered knee joint stiffness and contributing knee joint biomechanics during treadmill running
Authors: Powell Douglas W. , Fong Hailey B. , Nelson Alexis K. 
Published: April 2023

IntroductionGreater breast support has been associated with improved running performance as measured by oxygen cost and running economy. Several candidate mechanisms have been proposed to underlie breast support-related improvements in running performance including increased knee joint stiffness. Greater knee joint stiffness has been associated with improved running performance (speed and metabolic cost), though the influence of breast support on knee joint stiffness has not been previously investigated. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of increasing breast support on knee joint stiffness and its constituent components during treadmill running.MethodsThirteen recreational runners performed a 3-min running bout at their preferred running velocity in each of three breast support conditions: bare chested (CON), low support (LOW) and high support (HIGH) sports bras. Three-dimensional kinematics and ground reaction forces were collected simultaneously using a 10-camera motion capture system (240 Hz, Qualisys Inc.) and instrumented treadmill (1,200 Hz, Bertec Inc.). Visual3D (C-Motion Inc.) was used to calculate knee joint excursions, moments, powers and work while custom software (MATLAB) was used to calculate knee joint stiffness and breast displacements during the stance phase of running in each experimental condition. A series of 1 × 3 repeated measures analysis of covariance with post-hoc t-tests was used to evaluate the effect of breast support on knee joint biomechanics during treadmill running.ResultsIncreasing levels of breast support were associated with greater knee joint stiffness (p = 0.002) as a result of smaller knee flexion excursions (p &lt; 0.001). Increases in knee extension power (p = 0.010) were observed with increasing levels of breast support while no differences were observed in knee extension moments (p = 0.202) or work (p = 0.104).ConclusionGreater breast support is associated with increased knee joint stiffness resulting from smaller joint excursions. These findings may provide insight into the biomechanical mechanisms underlying previously reported improvements in running performance including reduced oxygen consumption and greater running economy.

ObjectiveTo investigate the in vivo biological effects of leukocyte-poor platelet-rich plasma (LpPRP) treatment in human synovial layer to establish the cellular basis for a prolonged clinical improvement.MethodsSynovial tissues (n = 367) were prospectively collected from patients undergoing arthroscopic surgery. Autologous-conditioned plasma, LpPRP, was injected into the knees of 163 patients 1–7 days before surgery to reduce operative trauma and inflammation, and to induce the onset of regeneration. A total of 204 patients did not receive any injection. All samples were analyzed by mass spectrometry imaging. Data analysis was evaluated by clustering, classification, and investigation of predictive peptides. Peptide identification was done by tandem mass spectrometry and database matching.ResultsData analysis revealed two major clusters belonging to LpPRP-treated (LpPRP-1) and untreated (LpPRP-0) patients. Classification analysis showed a discrimination accuracy of 82%–90%. We identified discriminating peptides for CD45 and CD29 receptors (receptor-type tyrosine-protein phosphatase C and integrin beta 1), indicating an enhancement of musculoskeletal stem cells, as well as an enhancement of lubricin, collagen alpha-1-(I) chain, and interleukin-receptor-17-E, dampening the inflammatory reaction in the LpPRP-1 group following LpPRP injection.ConclusionsWe could demonstrate for the first time that injection therapy using “autologic-conditioned biologics” may lead to cellular changes in the synovial membrane that might explain the reported prolonged beneficial clinical effects. Here, we show in vivo cellular changes, possibly based on muscular skeletal stem cell alterations, in the synovial layer. The gliding capacities of joints might be improved by enhancing of lubricin, anti-inflammation by activation of interleukin-17 receptor E, and reduction of the inflammatory process by blocking interleukin-17.
