Feasibility of a group-based intervention to enhance health-related quality of life and physical activity in children and adolescents with chronic illness: a study protocol.

Background: Chronic or long-term illnesses in early years increase the risk of comorbidities such as mental disorders, social exclusion, and difficulties in forming relationships. In Bergen, Norway, the three-phased intervention Life Coping Program is established. This program is designed to support adolescents with chronic or long-term illnesses through tailored preparation, a hospital-based Life Coping Course, and structured follow-up aimed at empowering them to actively manage their health and adopt a more active lifestyle.

The effect of removing hearing aids on postural sway in older adults with age-related hearing loss: an experimental study.

Background: Studies show that there is an association between age-related hearing loss (HL) and balance in older individuals. Several studies have indicated that the use of hearing aids (HAs) may have a positive impact on balance. However, the effect of HAs on postural sway in standing is still debated and unclear.

Painful considerations in exercise-management for rotator cuff related shoulder pain: a scoping review on pain-related prescription parameters.

Background: Resistance exercise is recommended as the first line of treatment for rotator cuff related shoulder pain (RCRSP), but with conflicting evidence supporting the superiority of specific prescription parameters. Particularly, the role of pain-related prescription parameters remains poorly understood, despite their wide clinical application and potential impact on treatment outcomes. This review aims to investigate how pain-related prescription parameters, such as pain allowance and intensity limits, are reported, described, and applied in clinical trials assessing resistance exercise interventions for RCRSP.

Exercise interventions to improve bone mineral density in athletes participating in low-impact sports: a scoping review.

Background: Athletes participating in low-impact sports such as cycling and swimming are at increased risk for low bone mineral density, which may lead to long-term health issues. Exercise is known to increase bone mineral density, but there is little knowledge of the effects of this in athletes participating in low-impact sports. This review aims to identify potential exercise interventions that could improve bone health in these athletes.

B Cells With Complementary B Cell Receptors Can Kill Each Other.

B cells differentiate from hematopoietic stem cells in the bone marrow (BM) and migrate as transitional cells to the spleen where final maturation takes place. Due to the enormous diversity in variable (V) regions of B cell receptors for antigen (BCR), B cells with complementary BCRs are likely to be generated. These could encounter each other in the BM or in secondary lymphoid organs.
