Valgus hindfoot is a very common postural deviation, and the associated foot pronation can be a triggering factor for diseases such as tarsal tunnel syndrome.
This work compares two techniques for hindfoot valgus correction GPR (Global Postural Reeducation) and PIMT (Postural Integration by Manual Therapy).
Sixty young adult subjects from the Brazilian Army with unilateral hindfoot valgus were selected and divided into two groups of 30 subjects, one treated with GPR and the other treated with PIMT. Differences between normal and valgus hindfeet (plantar surface and body weight load) for each subject were measured and analysed, using a baropodometer with subjects in static standing position for 5s. Measurements were performed before and after each treatment session (4 weeks, once a week), and 4 weeks after the end of treatment.
Data shows that both treatments were equally effective for improving symmetry in body weight load between feet and plantar surface. After 4 weeks from the end of treatment, both treatments were equally effective for body weight load symmetry, but plantar surface symmetry was better in PIMT treated subjects.
This study shows that PIMT technique can be validated as a physical therapy procedure, at least for valgus hindfoot.

Evaluation of the mental health of pregnant women during the early and peak stages of the Covid-19 outbreak DESIGN Online survey PARTICIPANTS Pregnant women over the age of 18 years with no mental disorder during the pre-pregnancy period (N=729).
Mental disorders were assessed using the "Depression Anxiety Stress Scale" and social support was determined using the "Multidimensional Perceived Social Support Scale." Pregnant women had moderate levels of anxiety and depression and mild levels of stress. Anxiety, depression, and stress of moderate or high severity was reported in 62.2%, 44.6%, and 32.2% of the women, respectively. Pregnant women who lost their jobs during the pandemic period showed a 3-fold increase in the risk of anxiety, a 6-fold increase in the risk of depression, and a 4.8-fold increase in the risk of stress. An increase in the perception of social support has protective effects against all three mental disorders during pregnancy. In pregnant women with at least one obstetric risk, the rising the pandemic period is recommended for protecting their mental health. Pregnant women should have easy access to psychosocial support, and they should be provided obstetric counseling during the pandemic conditions.Pyraclostrobin is a widely used and highly efficient fungicide that also has high toxicity to aquatic organisms, especially fish. Although some research has reported the toxic effects of pyraclostrobin on fish, the main toxic pathways of pyraclostrobin in fish remain unclear. The present study has integrated histopathological, biochemical and hematological techniques to reveal the main toxic pathways and mechanisms of pyraclostrobin under different exposure routes. Our results indicated that pyraclostrobin entered fish mainly through the gills. The highest accumulation of pyraclostrobin was observed in the gills and heart compared with accumulation in other tissues and gill tissue showed the most severe damage. Hypoxia symptoms (water jacking, tummy turning and cartwheel formation) in fish were observed throughout the experiment. Taken together, our results suggested that the gills are important target organs. The high pyraclostrobin toxicity to gills might be associated with oxidative damage to the gills, inducing alterations in ventilation frequency, oxygen-carrying substances in blood and disorders of energy metabolism. Our research facilitates a better understanding of the toxic mechanisms of pyraclostrobin in fish, which can promote the ecotoxicological research of agrochemicals on aquatic organisms.Microplastic pollution is a global concern theme, and there is still the need for less laborious and faster analytical methods aiming at microplastics detection. This article describes a high throughput screening method based on near-infrared hyperspectral imaging (HSI-NIR) to identify microplastics in beach sand automatically with minimum sample preparation. The method operates directly in the entire sample or on its retained fraction (150 μm-5 mm) after sieving. Small colorless microplastics ( less then 600 μm) that would probably be imperceptible as a microplastic by visual inspection, or missed during manual pick up, can be easily detected. No spectroscopic subsampling was performed due to the high-speed analysis of line-scan instrumentation, allowing multiple microplastics to be assessed simultaneously (video available). This characteristic is an advantage over conventional infrared (IR) spectrometers. A 75 cm2 scan area was probed in less than 1 min at a pixel size of 156 × 156 μm. An in-house comprehenerization. The results show the potential to use HSI-NIR combined with classification models as a comprehensive microplastic-type characterization screening.Embryonic exposure to environmental chemicals may result in specific chronic diseases in adulthood. TAK-715 inhibitor Parabens, a type of environmental endocrine disruptors widely used in pharmaceuticals and cosmetics, have been shown to cause a decline in women's reproductive function. However, whether exposure to parabens during pregnancy also negatively affect the ovarian function of the female offspring in adulthood remains unclear. This study aims to investigate the effects of prenatal propylparaben (PrP) exposure on the ovarian function of adult mice aged 46 weeks, which is equivalent to the age of 40 years in women. Pregnant ICR mice were intraperitoneally injected with human-relevant doses of PrP (i.e., 0, 7.5, 90, and 450 mg/kg/day) during the fetal sex determination period-from embryonic day E7.5 to E13.5. Our results revealed that ovarian aging was accelerated in PrP-exposed mice at 46 weeks, with altered regularity of the estrous cycle, decreased serum estrogen (E2) and progesterone (P4) levels, reduced size of the primordial follicle pool, and increased number of atretic follicles.
