Women in space: A review of known physiological adaptations and health perspectives

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Exposure to the spaceflight environment causes adaptations in most human physiological systems, many of which are thought to affect women differently from men. Since only 11.5% of astronauts worldwide have been female, these issues are largely understudied.

Spaceborne and spaceborn: Physiological aspects of pregnancy and birth during interplanetary flight

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Crewed interplanetary return missions that are on the planning horizon will take years, more than enough time for initiation and completion of a pregnancy. Pregnancy is viewed as a sequence of processes – fertilization, blastocyst formation, implantation, gastrulation, placentation, organogenesis, gross morphogenesis, birth and neonatal ...

Higher body‐mass index modifies time‐resolved maternal autonomic cardiac–uterine coupling during the first stage of human labour

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract We investigated whether higher body mass index (BMI) modifies time‐resolved maternal autonomic control and maternal cardio‐electrohysterographic coupling (MCEC) during the first stage of labour. Seventy‐nine women were studied and, for the present analysis, grouped as Control (C; n = 41) and high BMI (HBMI; n = 38).

TMEM16A chloride channels in the female reproductive tract and their role in normal and dysfunctional pregnancy and labour

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend TMEM16A plays a pivotal role in setting the duration of the action potential plateau in human uterine smooth muscle. An increase in TMEM16A expression in labour underpins a lengthening of the plateau and this provides time for the contraction to become larger and longer, important for timely successful labour.

Cannabinoid exposure during pregnancy: Cardiorespiratory effects and offspring outcomes

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Prenatal exposure to cannabinoids has been investigated across human and animal studies to understand its impact on physiological development. Evidence suggests that early‐life cannabinoid exposure influence multiple developmental processes, extending beyond neurodevelopmental outcomes to potentially affect placental function ...

APOE4 negates the effects of ovarian hormones on cerebrovascular endothelial and mitochondrial function

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend We examined the interaction effect of ovarian hormones and APOE genotype on cerebrovascular and mitochondrial function. Our data revealed that APOEε3 mice that were ovariectomized exhibited impaired endothelial function and greater oxidative stress and inflammation compared to sham controls.

Transvaginal Ultrasonography for Detection of PID‐Related Adhesions: A Case Report

Australasian Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine, Volume 29, Issue 3, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Diagnosis of acute and chronic pelvic inflammatory disease continues to be a challenge despite advances in investigative procedures. Complications of PID include infertility, chronic pelvic pain and ectopic pregnancy. Currently, transvaginal ultrasonography is primarily used to detect tubo‐ovarian abscesses (TOA) or pyosalpinx.

A subset of high‐grade sarcomas with myogenic differentiation are associated with recurrent FGFR fusions

The Journal of Pathology: Clinical Research, Volume 12, Issue 4, July 2026.
Abstract Recurrent fusions involving FGFR1‐4 genes have been previously described in rare subsets of mostly benign chondroid and mesenchymal neoplasms involving bone and soft tissue. However, a more comprehensive analysis of sarcomas associated with FGFR fusions, including their incidence and histotypes, has not been performed.

Differentiating the Clinical and Variant Spectrum of Hardikar Syndrome From Other MED12 ‐Related Developmental Disorders

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, Volume 200, Issue 7, Page 1619-1650, July 2026.
ABSTRACT The rare X‐linked female‐restricted Hardikar syndrome (HDKR, OMIM # 301068) is characterized by multiple congenital anomalies including orofacial clefts, gastrointestinal, genitourinary, and cardiac anomalies, but cognitive and neurobehavioral development is rarely impaired.

A contribution to the anatomy of two rare cetacean species: The hourglass dolphin (Cephalorhynchus cruciger) and the spectacled porpoise (Phocoena dioptrica)

The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 7, Page 1797-1820, July 2026.
Abstract The anatomical description of the hourglass dolphin (Cephalorhynchus cruciger) and the spectacled porpoise (Phocoena dioptrica) remains largely unexplored, due to limited specimen availability and preservation challenges. This study employed digital imaging techniques, conventional histology, and computed tomography to provide visualization of
