Isometric training at longer muscle–tendon complex lengths: A potential countermeasure to impaired neuro‐muscle–tendon function during space travel

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Manned space exploration to distant destinations, including Mars, continues to be an aspiration of humankind. Space travel does, however, present many challenges to the body, amongst which adaptation to microgravity is perhaps the largest. For instance, both short and long manned spaceflight missions have shown substantial deleterious effects ...

Dynamic Mode Decomposition (DMD) for Low‐Latency Real‐Time Cardiac MRI

Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, Volume 96, Issue 2, Page 623-634, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Purpose To demonstrate dynamic mode decomposition (DMD) for high spatiotemporal low‐latency online reconstruction in 2D real‐time cardiac MRI. Methods DMD was applied to 2D spiral balanced steady state free precession (bSSFP) real‐time adult and fetal cardiac MRI at 0.55 T, with data from 10 healthy adult volunteers (3F/7M; age: 21–49; BMI: 20–
