Increases in cardiac vagal modulation following muscle mechanoreflex activation via passive calf stretch: Impact of interindividual differences. [PDF]
Abstract Muscle mechanoreflex is crucial to cardiac vagal modulation during exercise and can be activated during passive calf stretch. Herein, we aimed to determine whether cardiac vagal modulation following a single session of passive stretch is linked to interindividual cardiac vagal responses at the onset of passive calf muscle stretching in healthy

Towards Malaria Elimination: A Nationwide Case-Control Study to Assess Risk Factors for Severe Malaria-Related Deaths in Brazil. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Objective The objective of this study is to describe malaria‐related deaths and assess their risk factors. Methods This is a case–control study using data from Brazil's Ministry of Health (2011–2020) on malaria‐related deaths (ICD‐10: B50‐B54). A probabilistic record linkage was performed to match epidemiological data (Sivep‐Malaria and Sinan)

Field resistance of orange fruit to citrus black spot and citrus canker in D-limonene synthase downregulated trees. [PDF]
Genetically modified (GM) sweet‐oranges with downregulated CitMTSE1 gene showed reduced citrus black spot severity and citrus canker incidence, confirming terpene modulation as a promising strategy for sustainable field citrus disease resistance. Abstract BACKGROUND Citrus black spot (CBS), caused by Phyllosticta citricarpa, and citrus canker (CC ...
