- - The study investigates the relationship between intraocular pressure (IOP) and acromegaly, a rare condition that affects multiple organ systems and is associated with ocular changes.
- - A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted, including three articles and a total of 102 acromegaly patients, revealing that the mean IOP corrected for corneal thickness was 15.33 mmHg, with a significant difference of 1.17 mmHg compared to healthy controls.
- - The findings suggest that patients with acromegaly have elevated IOP, highlighting the need for regular IOP evaluations during follow-up, as increased IOP may lead to glaucoma risk.

- - Bovine mastitis (BM) is a prevalent disease in dairy cattle, affecting both their well-being and the dairy industry's economy, primarily treated with antibiotics amidst concerns of antimicrobial resistance (AMR).
- - This review highlights recent advancements in using probiotics as a potentially effective alternative for preventing and treating BM, focusing on their interaction with mammary gland cells and immune responses.
- - Certain probiotic strains can not only suppress harmful mammary pathogens but also modulate inflammatory responses, suggesting that immunobiotics could enhance mammary gland health, reduce AMR, and improve dairy cow productivity.
Adherence to exercise and fitness following exercise-based outpatient cardiac rehabilitation: a cross-sectional survey for Germany.
BMC Sports Sci Med Rehabil
November 2022
Background: Exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation is safe and effective, evidence-based and implemented in national and international cardiac rehabilitation guidelines. Recent data show a decrease in cardiovascular mortality, reduced hospital admissions and an overall improvement in quality of life. To maintain positive effects and to prevent further cardiovascular events a major goal of cardiac rehabilitation is to induce a long-term health behaviour change and the integration of regular physical activity and exercise training in everyday life.
