Neurophysiological and neuromuscular responses associated with the repeated bout effect following eccentric exercise in healthy adults: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Abstract Muscle damage severity decreases after repeated eccentric exercise bouts (the repeated bout effect [RBE]), but whether accompanying neural and neuromuscular changes contribute to protection or arise secondary to reduced damage remains unclear. This systematic review and...

The burden of anger among antipodean cyclists: What situations contribute the most to cycling anger?

Despite the numerous benefits of cycling, participation in Australia and New Zealand is not increasing proportional to population growth. Anger among cyclists contributes to both unsafe behaviour on the road and reduced cycling participation. Although the Cycling Anger Scale (CAS...

Accelerated mass loss of glaciers across Alaska since the Little Ice Age

Abstract Alaskan glaciers presently dominate contributions to global glacier mass loss and are projected to do so throughout the 21 st Century. Here we assess centennial-scale evolution and mass loss of 5289 Little Ice Age (LIA) glaciers by mapping geomorphological evidence of gl...

Inflammatory Fibroid Polyp With Central Pseudocystic Degeneration

Inflammatory fibroid polyps (IFP) are uncommon benign lesions of the gastrointestinal tract that can mimic malignant neoplasms, cause intussusception, and be difficult to recognize radiologically. Previous descriptions in the medical literature have consistently noted them to be...

Critical embeddings

Abstract Hayut and the first author isolated the notion of a critical cardinal in [1]. In this work, we answer several questions raised in the original paper. We show that it is consistent for a critical cardinal not to have any ultrapower elementary embeddings, as well as that i...

The Cloud Feedback Model Intercomparison Project (CFMIP) contribution to CMIP7

Cloud processes constitute one of the key uncertainties for climate change projections. The fourth iteration of the Cloud Feedback Model Intercomparison Project, CFMIP4, contributes to the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project phase 7 (CMIP7), by providing a set of global climate...

Language proficiency drives listening-related fatigue in those who communicate in English as their second language

Abstract Individuals who listen to speech in their second language (‘L2 listeners’) are disproportionately impacted by adverse acoustic conditions; a phenomenon coined the ‘non-native speech-in-noise disadvantage’. Evidence also suggests that L2 listening taxes cognitive resource...

Fatigue in bronchiectasis: An under-recognised treatable trait

Fatigue is frequently reported by people living with bronchiectasis, yet remains among the least systematically studied of its symptoms.1–3 In routine practice it is often mentioned briefly and the...

When home isn’t home anymore: Towards a political theory of displacement without movement

Normative political theorists typically view displacement as a phenomenon that entails forced movement. In this article, I challenge this orthodoxy by arguing that displacement is fundamentally a loss of one's place and/or home that may occur either with or without such movement....

Quantifying care provided to children and young people with cancer who die: Estimating the costs and key determining factors of NHS secondary care in England

Background Little is known about hospital use, costs, and factors associated with higher costs in end-of-life care for children and young people with cancer who die. Methods This is a retrospective death-outcome defined cohort study. It included 4,247 children and young people ag...

Prevention and Management of Tooth Discolouration of Endodontic Origin ( DEO ): A State‐of‐the‐Art Review

ABSTRACT Background Tooth discolouration of endodontic origin (DEO) refers to an undesirable change in tooth colour arising from the pulp space as a result of reactive physiological processes, pathological processes or endodontic procedures and materials. As DEO frequently affect...

Temporal Dynamics Between the Three Dimensions of Meaning in Life and Well-Being among Chinese College Students: Coherence as Prerequisite, Purpose as Connector, and Significance as Outcome

Abstract The three-dimensional model of meaning in life conceptualizes meaning as comprising coherence, purpose, and significance, yet how these components relate to one another over time and how they jointly connect to subjective well-being and global meaning appraisals remains...

Group Poetry and Quilt‐Making –Creative Public Involvement Approaches to Contentious Concepts in Frailty Research

INTRODUCTION: 'Frailty' as a concept is being increasingly integrated into healthcare, but the language around frailty is contentious and potentially stigmatising to patients. It is therefore important to understand how patients' lived experiences relate to the concept of frailty...

Mutton Dressed as Lamb: An Idiom-Based Perspective on Discourses of Gender and Aging

Abstract This study investigates the British English idiom “mutton dressed as lamb” across time and in public and private discourse to describe and understand its contributions toward discourses of aging and gender. The “mutton” idiom is often viewed as humorous and innocuous. We...

Cytomegalovirus Latency Fuels Inflammation Following Myocardial Infarction

BACKGROUND: Epidemiological studies have consistently associated cytomegalovirus (CMV) seropositivity with adverse cardiovascular outcomes. However, the mechanisms by which cytomegalovirus infection impacts pathophysiology in the heart remain poorly understood. In this study, we...

Changing places: Mediterranean tourist resorts in Francoist Spain

Low-energy $${\alpha }$$-harmonic maps into the round sphere

Abstract We classify low-energy $$\alpha $$ α -harmonic maps from a closed non-spherical Riemannian surface $$\Sigma $$ Σ of constant curvature to the round sphere via their bubble scales and centres. In particular we show that as $$1<\alpha \downarrow 1$$ 1 < α ↓ 1 and assuming...

Can silver diamine fluoride reduce negative impacts for young children with dental caries awaiting treatment under general anaesthesia? Protocol for a feasibility study

Abstract Background Many children require dental extractions under general anaesthesia (DGA) due to their young age, the number of carious primary teeth and their inability to cope with treatment under local anaesthetic. Children in England are waiting up to 80 weeks for a DGA. W...

Challenges and opportunities for the construction of the next IntCal and SHCal radiocarbon calibration curves

Radiocarbon (14C) provides the most frequently used approach to dating the last 55 000 years. However, owing to fluctuations in past levels of 14C, all radiocarbon dating requires calibration to convert the 14C measurement obtained from a sample into a calendar age. This is achie...

Rapid increase of climate extremes reveals new areas of concern in Amazonia

Abstract Amazonia is highly sensitive to climate extremes, yet we lack an Amazon-wide assessment that examines the spatial-temporal changes in these extreme conditions. We address this within seasons and across the hydrological year, using a quantiles approach that integrates the...
