Osteoporosis is a skeletal disorder characterized by reduced bone mineral density (BMD), increasing fracture risk. Cognitive disorders (CD), including Alzheimer's disease, dementia, and mild cognitive impairment (MCI), cause cognitive decline and are prevalent among older adults. This systematic review and meta-analysis explores the bidirectional association between cognitive impairment and bone health, specifically low BMD, osteopenia, and osteoporosis.

Atmospheric cold plasma (ACP) is a novel non-thermal technology which increases shelf-life of food. The aim of this research to evaluate the effects of ACP treatment on antioxidant activity (AOA), total phenol content (TPC), total flavonoid content (TFC) and rutin and quercetin levels of Common buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum Moench) flour (BF) and grain (BG). Whole buckwheat grains and flour were subjected to a dielectric barrier discharge plasma reactor for 5 and 10 min at 50 and 60 kV.

Detection of the level of ammonia gas in exhaled breath provides non-invasive and fast diagnosis of kidney failure. Here, we fabricated room temperature and sensitive chemiresistive ammonia gas sensor by in situ electropolymerization and deposition of polypyrrole/sulfonated graphene oxide (PPy/SRGO) on/between gold interdigitated electrodes (Au-IDEs). The prepared sensors were characterized by using field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR).

A strategy of doping by multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) to enhance mechanical strength and the electrical conductivity of ceramic fibers has nowadays attracted a great deal of attention for a wide variety of industrial applications. This study focuses on the effect of MWCNTs on rheological properties of metal alkoxide precursors used for the preparation of nanoceramic metal oxide fibers. The rheological behavior of MWCNT-loaded titanium alkoxide sol precursors has been evaluated via an extensional rheometry method.
