... An example is honey. Honey is a naturally occurring chemical that has a wide range of medical benefits, including antibacterial, hepatoprotective, hypoglycemic, reproductive, antihypertensive, and antioxidant characteristics [18].. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of honey on renal biochemical parameters, on salt-induced hypertension in rats. ...
... Identification appears to be a critical consideration in forensic medicine as it helps in connecting the criminal to the crime. Along with sex, age, and race, stature is also considered one of the [1][2][3] important parameters for identification. It is common to find the fragments or peripheral parts of the body such as fingers, hands, feet, etc. in deaths from natural disasters like earthquakes, cyclones, floods, tsunamis, and man-made disasters like bomb blasts, terror attacks, mass accidents, wars, plane crashes, railway accidents etc. Stature estimation which is an integral part of identification is of paramount importance in such scenarios. ...
... Further, in the context of handicraft occupations, recent studies have identified poor working posture as a significant risk factor in the aetiology of MSDs among artisans (Meena et al. 2012;Mrunalini and Logeswari 2016;Das et al. 2020). In handicraft manufacturing, the most commonly adopted and thus most susceptible working postures include forward-inclined trunk and cross-leg sitting (Mukhopadhyay and Srivastava 2010;Maity et al. 2016;Das and Singh 2022). Prolonged adoption of such inappropriate working posture can lead to imbalances in the muscles and the development of musculoskeletal symptoms, such as pain and discomfort. ...

... The results showed that males had significantly higher hand grip strength than females (Puh 2010) [32] . Similar sex differences were seen in previous studies (Sharma et [36,45,9,10] . Higher hand grip strength among males may be explained by the higher levels of androgenic hormones (Graafmans et al. 1996) [15] , greater muscle mass (Page et al. 2005) [30] and greater height and weight (Kallman et al 1990) [21] . ...
... Es importante tener en cuenta los factores sociodemográficos como el sexo y la edad, que pudieron influir en la flexibilidad muscular inicial y final de nuestros participantes (McKay et al., 2017;Hallaceli et al., 2014;Roach & Miles, 1991;Sengupta et al., 2012;Wan et al., 2017a). Los resultados obtenidos respaldan la idea de que la mejora de la flexibilidad isquiosural podría contribuir a la prevención de lesiones en jugadores de fútbol, tal como lo indican estudios previos (Opar et al., 2012;Hägglund et al., 2013;Ribeiro-Alvares et al., 2020). ...
... Overweight and obesity are one of the world's most challenging public health problems 12 . Overweight and obesity are well documented to be associated with major chronic illnesses, including diabetes, hypertension, heart diseases, arthritis, cancer, and all cause mortality 5,[13][14][15] . Overweight/obesity has also been shown to increase the risk for musculoskeletal pain [16][17][18] . ...
