Plant diversity to support humans in a CELSS ground based demonstrator [PDF]
A controlled ecological life support system (CELSS) for human habitation in preparation for future long duration space flights is considered. The success of such a system depends upon the feasibility of revitalization of food resources and the human ...

Humans are not unique: difficult birth is common in placental mammals
ABSTRACT Human childbirth is widely presumed to be uniquely difficult and dangerous compared to birth in other mammals. Tight fetopelvic proportions can result in obstructed labour and contribute to high rates of maternal and neonatal mortality. Ideas summarised under the ‘obstetrical dilemma’ have contributed to this assumption by explaining difficult

Inflammatory Response as a Mechanism of Perinatal Programming: Long-term Impact on Pulmonary and Renal Function? [PDF]
RATIONALE: Temporal changes in the fetal environment, such as malnutrition and placental insufficiency induce intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) and lead to a permanent changes of physiological processes later in life.

ABSTRACT Objective Recovery from anorexia nervosa involves psychological and social adjustments that extend beyond weight restoration. Online forums increasingly serve as spaces where recovery experiences are openly shared, including accounts of “extreme hunger” during refeeding—a phenomenon that has not been reported in the clinical literature.

Fish Scales: A Multifunctional Biomaterial from Nature
Fish scales demonstrate nature's solution to impact protection through overlapping multilayered architecture. This biological design combines mineralized surfaces with collagen networks to achieve both flexibility and fracture resistance. The structural principles inspire advanced protective materials and biomedical implants, where damage tolerance ...

Systemic aging fuels heart failure: Molecular mechanisms and therapeutic avenues
Abstract Systemic aging influences various physiological processes and contributes to structural and functional decline in cardiac tissue. These alterations include an increased incidence of left ventricular hypertrophy, a decline in left ventricular diastolic function, left atrial dilation, atrial fibrillation, myocardial fibrosis and cardiac ...

Research opportunities in loss of red blood cell mass in space flight [PDF]
Decreases of red blood cell mass and plasma volume have been observed consistently following manned space flights. Losses of red cell mass by United States astronauts have averaged 10 to 15% (range: 2 to 21%).

Abstract Large clinical data underscore that heart failure is independently associated to an increased risk of negative cognitive outcome and dementia. Emerging evidence suggests that cerebral hypoperfusion, stemming from reduced cardiac output and vascular pathology, may contribute to the largely overlapping vascular dementia and Alzheimer's disease ...

A Systematic Scoping Review of Factors Contributing to Loss of Control Eating During Pregnancy
ABSTRACT Objective Evidence suggests loss of control eating (LOC) during pregnancy is prevalent and linked to adverse health consequences for birthing individuals and their offspring; however, factors underlying risk for prenatal LOC remain unclear.
