Metabolic balance in the shallow eutrophic Lake Inbanuma, Japan

Metabolism is a pivotal process that governs the biogeochemical carbon cycle by both producing and consuming organic matter. Gross primary production (GPP), ecosystem respiration (ER), net ecosystem production ( NEP = GPP − ER ), and the metabolic balance of GPP and ER were analy...

Associations between jump-derived mechanical indicators and sprint performance across sprint sections in baseball players

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships between sprint performance across discrete distance sections and mechanical indicators derived from ballistic and reactive jumping tasks in male collegiate baseball players. Sixty-two players performed maximal 40-m sprint...

Patellofemoral outcomes after kinematic versus mechanical alignment in primary total knee arthroplasty

Aims: Concerns persist that kinematic alignment (KA) in primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) may adversely affect the patellofemoral (PF) joint, because most contemporary components were developed under mechanical alignment (MA) principles. This focused scoping review mapped hea...

Language-like statistical structure arises in learned signaling: evidence from birdsong

All languages have statistically coherent subsequences (e.g., words) whose frequency distribution follows a power law. These properties facilitate language learning in humans, making them good candidates for arising through cultural transmission as a way to help faithful transmis...

Treatment Persistence of Interleukin-17 Inhibitors and Factors Associated with Persistence in Patients with Psoriasis Vulgaris in Japan: Retrospective Database Study

Psoriasis vulgaris (PsV) is a chronic, immune-mediated skin disorder that significantly impairs quality of life and often necessitates long-term systemic therapy, especially in moderate-to-severe cases. In Japan, biologic agents targeting interleukin-17 (IL-17) have become centra...
