Lateral Extra-articular Tenodesis Does Not Alter Early Gait Biomechanics After ACL Reconstruction in a Pediatric Population: A Motion Analysis Study

Background: Lateral extra-articular tenodesis (LET) is increasingly added to anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) to reduce graft failure and improve rotatory stability. However, concerns remain that LET may overconstrain the lateral compartment, alter gait biomechani...

No effect of short‐term exposure to ocean acidification on individual‐level variation in behaviour and susceptibility to predation in a Great Barrier Reef damselfish

Abstract Ocean acidification, caused by rising carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) in the atmosphere, has been reported to negatively impact a wide variety of behaviours in fishes, including activity, exploration, and predator avoidance. These effects have been documented at the population le...

The dependence of inter-phase lithium exchange on salt content in hybrid polymer-ceramic solid composite electrolytes

Hybrid polymer-ceramic solid composite electrolytes have been proposed as a means of circumventing common pitfalls that are associated with either polymer (lower ionic conductivity and low mechanical strength) or ceramic (large interfacial resistance with electrodes, brittle) ele...

Mitigating Popularity Bias in Recommendation with Global Listwise Learning and Progressive Bi-Weighting

In recommender systems, user feedback typically follows a long-tail distribution, which leads many recommendation algorithms to exacerbate popularity bias by disproportionately favoring popular items. To mitigate this issue, recent studies have employed Inverse Propensity Scoring...

Device-Measured Physical Activity, Sedentary Time, and Cardiometabolic Risk Markers in Youth

Importance The evidence for benefits of higher physical activity and lower sedentary time on the cardiometabolic risk profile in youth is based on cross-sectional and small prospective studies. Objective To determine the prospective associations between device-measured physical a...

Determinants of failure of midazolam monotherapy during continuous deep sedation until death: evidence from a French cohort in a palliative care unit

Abstract Background Continuous deep sedation until death (CDSUD) is a legally regulated practice in France relying primarily on midazolam as first-line therapy. However, additional sedative agents are frequently required, and determinants of failure of midazolam monotherapy remai...

Registering A Company [Some Countries of Interest]

We are investigating how to register a company. Many options and countries are of interest (some examples are given).

Sexually dimorphic control of excitatory synapse maintenance in ventral hippocampal circuits by Neurexin2α ligand Vstm2b

Abstract Neuronal networks rely on precise synapse formation, maturation, and maintenance orchestrated by synaptic adhesion molecules including α- and β-neurexins (Nrxns). Through unbiased proteomics, we identified Vstm2 family members as α-Nrxn-specific interactors that require...

On the importance of effort perception in stroke care: From evidence to an ideal care pathway – An opinion paper

Post-stroke rehabilitation has traditionally relied on objective assessments of motor and cognitive abilities. However, one crucial factor remains largely overlooked in current practice: the perception of effort, that is, the conscious experience of task intensity and difficulty....

Transarterial embolization in musculoskeletal care: an indication-stratified narrative review

Abstract Background Transarterial embolization (TAE) is increasingly used across a broad spectrum of musculoskeletal conditions, ranging from established hemostatic and tumor-related indications to emerging pain-directed procedures for degenerative joint disease and chronic infla...

From genetics to migration: emerging insights into salmonid responses to environmental change from NoWPaS 2026

The International Workshop of PhDs and Post-doctoral Fellows on Anadromous Salmonids (NoWPaS) provides a platform for early-career researchers to present and discuss emerging research on salmonid biology. The 2026 meeting, held in Iceland, brought together contributions spanning...

Neurodegenerative disease risk associated with gene expression in peripheral monocytes across ancestries

Abstract It is hypothesised that peripheral immune states responding to regional environmental triggers contribute to central neurodegeneration. Region-specific genetic selection pressures require this hypothesis to be assessed in an ancestry-specific manner. Here, we utilise gen...

Is Sleep Bruxism Associated With General Quality of Life? Insights From the EPISONO Population‐Based Study

ABSTRACT Aim The aim of this study is to evaluate the association between sleep bruxism (SB) and general quality of life (QoL) among adults. Methods This cross‐sectional study was conducted with a sample of 692 adults who completed the WHOQOL‐Bref questionnaire (mean age of 50.1...

A screening template for knowledge synthesis: the IED-uOttawa algorithm

When conducting a knowledge synthesis, the screening of studies appears to be the critical task and is the most time-consuming segment and human resources. The development of the IED-uOttawa was the result of a hands-on natural experience using several knowledge synthesis project...

Repeated exposure to viral and bacterial danger signals in Parkin deficient mice induces inflammation but fails to trigger parkinsonism

Experimental models of Parkinson's disease (PD) traditionally involve direct perturbations of the functioning of dopamine (DA) neurons. However, PD is increasingly recognized as multifactorial in origin and involving both cell-autonomous vulnerability factors and non-cell-autonom...

Deidentified data and analysis code for "LLM-assisted assessment item writing in medical education: a randomized pilot trial

This repository contains analysis code underlying the psychometric analyses of a randomized pilot study comparing LLM-assisted and conventional medical assessment item writing. It includes item-level psychometric outcomes, faculty-level aggregated outcomes used for exact permutat...

Free fatty acid receptor 4 agonism stimulates insulin secretion via different mechanisms in mouse versus human islets

Abstract Activation of the free fatty acid receptor FFAR4 in pancreatic islets potentiates insulin and inhibits somatostatin (SST) secretion. Here we investigated the relative roles of δ and β cells in the insulinotropic effect of FFAR4 activation in mouse and human islets. The e...
