In recent decades, the perception of the meniscus has gone from being the most useless structure of the knee joint to one of the most important components. The incidence of meniscus injuries is on the rise, which may be due to the increase in daily physical activity among young people. Meniscus injuries are usually caused by excessive exercise or sudden rotation of the knee and are often accompanied by swelling and pain. There are many ways to diagnose and treat it. In the initial stages of injury, you need to follow (RICE), which can be understood as rest, ice, apply pressure to the knee, and elevate the knee to relieve pain. As the meniscus damage worsens, surgery is needed. Then you can do some endurance training to reduce the load on the knee joint. Quadriceps exercises can improve knee joint function.

Various Achilles tendon problems and injuries, ruptures in particular, are challenging and harmful to an athlete’s general performance or to their game. The Achilles tendon is the strongest and thickest tendon in the human body; a strip of this connective tissue connecting the leg muscles to the heel is responsible for several essential functions involving running, jumping, or even standing. Considering the complexity and speed of the movement, athletes are more prone to occurrences of such damage, which usually has serious consequences, including the end of the career. The recovery methods after an Achilles tendon injury, either based on surgical or physical operations, are long and arduous but overall result in full recovery. Although surgical remedies provide a faster way to return to normal activity, they have some drawbacks, such as wound-healing issues. In contrast, the non-surgical methods, as less invasive, introduce a larger risk of re-rupture. After the injury, an athlete tends to reduce their performance. This manifests through a decrease in games played, efficiency, and return to performance for high dynamics sports, such as basketball or football. Meanwhile, for baseball, where the physical load on the Achilles tendon is different, such injuries do not affect as much the results. This fact reflects the importance of therapists to elaborate on methods of full functional return after surgery to bring the player back to identity.

With increasing global population and environmental concerns, the development of meat analogues, including plant-based proteins and cultivated meat, has become a solution for elevating global protein production and addressing sustainability issues. North America and Europe lead the meat analogue market, driven by elevated consumer awareness of health and environmental concerns. Under the influence of western diet, the Asian market is also poised for growth. While cultivated meat industry remains immature, advancements in production and cost reductions are expected to boost its market share over time. Although research on meat analogue methodology has increased in recent years, reviews that combine production methodologies and nutritional perspectives remain uncommon. This review comprehensively analyses the production methods, nutritional values, and market prospects of meat analogues. Meat analogue production has great potential in reducing water consumption, promoting sustainability, and improving animal welfare. Meat analogue provides high protein content and balanced amino acid profile, though certain micronutrient deficiencies due to production processes. This review outlines directions for further research in meat analogue production, emphasizing the importance of enhancing production efficiency and nutritional fortification to address food insecurity and environmental damage.

While few research examined the relationship between both primary factors—diabetes and hypertension—and cardiovascular disease, the study concentrated on the interaction between the two factors and the disease. The aim of this research is to ascertain whether diabetes and hypertension will raise the risk of cardiovascular disease in persons over 40 in the United States. The findings indicate that from 2013 to 2018, 11463 US adults over 40 were evaluated for the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, which collected data on age, gender, race, smoking status, BMI, and the association between hypertension, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. During data analysis, logistic regression and the chi-square test were employed. Compared to those without CVD, those with CVD were more likely to be older, male, smokers, and to have a higher BMI. They also had higher rates of diabetes and hypertension. The CVD group and the non-CVD group differ statistically significantly in terms of diabetes (<0.001) and hypertension (<0.001). Overall, the results of univariate and multivariate logistic regression indicated that diabetes and hypertension were associated with a higher risk of cardiovascular disease. Moreover, people diagnosed with cardiovascular disease were more likely to be male, smokers, older, and have a higher BMI.

In recent years, global warming has significantly altered weather patterns in many countries. Brazil, home to the biggest tropical rainforest on Earth — the Amazon Forest, has experienced an uptick in extreme climate events, which has increasingly captured global attention. Human activities may contribute to phenomena such as the greenhouse effect, acid rain, and the depletion of the ozone layer. Additionally, the increasing frequency of extreme weather events has led to issues related to agricultural yield, infectious diseases, and other related problems. This article primarily explores the changes in climatic conditions of the Amazon Forest in Brazil and the measures the government ought to take. Through a review of the literature, this report examined the changes in temperature, precipitation, vegetation coverage, and fire in the Amazon Forest in Brazil in recent years, as well as the interconnections among these factors. Besides, this article also offers recommendations for addressing the more severe drought and frequent fires in the Brazilian Amazon Forest.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease that primarily affects older adults and is characterized by progressive memory loss and cognitive dysfunction. The disease is the most common type of dementia worldwide and imposes a significant burden on patients, families and society. More than 50 million people worldwide are affected by Alzheimer's disease, placing enormous financial strain on healthcare systems and families. The main molecular metabolic pathways of Alzheimer's disease include amyloid beta protein metabolic pathway and tau protein phosphorylation pathway. Abnormal accumulation of amyloid beta protein in the brain to form plaques, and excessive phosphorylation of tau protein to form neurofibrillary tangles, these pathological changes lead to nerve cell damage and death, resulting in the gradual loss of cognitive function. Current treatments can only slow the progression of the disease or alleviate symptoms and cannot completely cure AD. Finding effective treatment and intervention strategies can not only significantly improve the quality of life of Alzheimer's patients, but also reduce the burden of the disease on society and families. This article will review the background and epidemiology of Alzheimer's disease, discuss its main molecular metabolic pathways in detail, and review the current status of treatment, with a view to providing references for future research and treatment strategies.

This review mainly focuses on the role of circadian rhythm in both causation and treatment of bipolar disorder (BD). Circadian rhythm is an essential modulator that makes our body function in tune with the 24-h cycle, controlling the metabolic and endocrine processes. In terms of the causation and the development of BD, disrupted circadian rhythms might play a crucial part. It would be discussed from the dysregulation of neurotransmitters such as dopamine, serotonin, norepinephrine and melatonin, which are modulated by the clock and contribute to BD. The clock genes like Circadian locomotor output cycles kaput (CLOCK), Period (PER), and Cryptochrome will also be discussed, since their expressions operate the clock and their polymorphisms could lead to abnormal circadian rhythm and make people present certain symptoms. Furthermore, it can be inferred that regulating circadian rhythm might be an efficacious treatment for BD, including the administration of lithium and light therapy, both of which target regulating circadian rhythm by modulating the elements of the clock.
