The Role of Foxes in Transmitting Zoonotic Bacteria to Humans: A Scoping Review
Zoonoses and Public Health, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Zoonotic diseases inflict substantial burdens on human and animal populations worldwide, and many of these infections are bacterial. An Australian study investigating environmental risk factors for Buruli ulcer in humans detected the causative agent, Mycobacterium ulcerans, in the faeces of wild foxes, a novel finding that suggests foxes may ...

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract Cross‐education describes the training of one limb that leads to performance enhancements in the contralateral untrained limb, driven by neural changes rather than muscle adaptation. In this systematic review and meta‐analysis, we aimed to evaluate the efficacy of cross‐education (vs. a control group) via resistance exercise training (RET) for

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract In activities of daily living, people walk at different speeds with or without carrying additional loads. In this study, we sought to examine how human adults manage these commonly encountered additional demands during walking. We measured electromyography (EMG), triceps surae H‐reflexes, joint motion and ground reaction forces (GRF) while ...

Jumping on the moon as a potential exercise countermeasure
Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract The Moon's gravitational field strength (17% Earth's gravity) may facilitate the use of bodyweight jumping as an exercise countermeasure against musculoskeletal and cardiovascular deconditioning in reduced gravity settings. The present study characterised the acute physiological and kinetic responses to bodyweight jumping in simulated Lunar ...

The therapeutic role of exercise training during menopause for reducing vascular disease
Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract Menopause marks a major milestone in female reproductive ageing. It is characterized by the cessation of ovarian function and a concomitant decline in hormones such as oestradiol. Subsequently, females undergoing menopausal transition experience a progressive increase in cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease risk.

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract Prolonged exposure to weightlessness leads to loss of muscle and bone mass. Therefore, astronauts on board the International Space Station (ISS) currently perform mandatory daily exercises. ISS missions usually last 6 months, and future missions will become significantly longer when going, for example, to Mars.

The evolution of muscle spindles
Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract Muscle spindles are stretch‐sensitive mechanoreceptors found in the skeletal muscles of most four‐limbed vertebrates. They are unique amongst sensory receptors in the ability to regulate their sensitivity by contraction of the intrafusal muscle fibres on which the sensory endings lie.

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract Electrical stimulation is widely used to investigate localised muscle adaptations, with applications in both sports and rehabilitation. However, the systemic effects of electrical stimulation, particularly in the contralateral muscles that are not directly stimulated, are not well understood.
