The EXPLAIN Study: Exploring Arthrogryposis Multiplex Congenita in Adults in Norway — A Description of Demographic, Medical, and Neurological Findings

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part C: Seminars in Medical Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Arthrogryposis Multiplex Congenita (AMC) encompasses several hundred conditions with diverse genetic, pathophysiological, and clinical origins. The overarching EXPLAIN study explores underlying causes and implications of AMC and represents the largest clinical cohort of adults with AMC reported to date.

The Insistence of Blackness and the Persistence of Antiblackness in Ireland

Australian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper positions Ireland as a critical site for examining the insistence of blackness and an antiblackness created and sustained through Irish ethnonationalist imaginaries and exclusionary processes. Drawing on connected sociologies and Irish Black Studies, this enquiry argues that antiblackness in Ireland operates as a generational force,

Endocrine responses to low‐load blood flow restricted and high‐load resistance exercise in well‐trained males

Physiological Reports
The present study compared acute testosterone (T), cortisol (C), epinephrine (EPI), norepinephrine (NE), and 22 kDa growth hormone (GH‐22 kDa) responses following low‐load resistance exercise with blood flow restriction (LL‐BFR) and traditional high‐load

Effectiveness of intermittent hypoxia on muscle recovery in rats: A systematic review

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
This systematic review of animal studies evaluated intermittent hypobaric hypoxia (IHH), cold exposure, and their combinations, with or without exercise, on skeletal muscle recovery. IHH enhanced muscle regeneration, reduced fibrosis, improved contractile force, and maintained oxidative capacity, while cold exposure increased mitochondrial activity but

Stiffness characteristics of the lower extremities in Women’s Chinese Basketball Association competition athletes: normative values and position differences

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology
PurposeHigher stiffenss is expected to augment performance by increasing the utilisation of elastic energy. However, excessive lower extremity stiffness increases the risk of bony injuries; while insufficient stiffness is associated with a higher ...

“Oxygenated” water and athletic performance [PDF]

British Journal of Sports Medicine, 2006
Ergogenic claims for oxygenated water cannot be taken seriously A decade or so ago, the idea arose that athletes might gain a competitive edge by drinking water that contained extra dissolved oxygen (O2). The notion stems from observations that O2 breathing during exercise enhances athletic performance,1,2 but the connection of O2 breathing during ...

Effects of intermittent exposure to hypobaria and cold on the microarchitecture and morphofunctional profile of rat gastrocnemius muscle

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Intermittent hypobaric hypoxia (IHH) enhances oxygen transport, muscle metabolism, and cardiovascular health; however, the combined effects of hypobaria and cold are less well understood. Exposure to these stressful environmental factors, even intermittently, can affect skeletal muscle due to its plasticity, thereby altering its metabolic and ...

Working with laws, regularities and singularities in biology: The evolution of mammalian red blood cell size as a case study

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Phylogenetic comparative methods have been used in recent literature to work with laws and test for regularities (evolutionary associations of quantitative features) and evolutionary singularities (features that evolved in a single taxon). We analyzed these uses epistemologically, taking the evolution of red‐blood‐cell mean corpuscular volume (

Twin pregnancies and the limits of the energetics of gestation and growth hypothesis

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The “Energetics of Gestation and Growth” (EGG) hypothesis proposes that human birth timing and the associated secondary altriciality of human newborns is determined by limits in maternal metabolic capacity. According to this model, labor is triggered when the increasing fetal energy requirements exceed the expectant mother's maximum sustained ...
