Visionaries and Crackpots, Maniacs and Saints: Existential Risk and the Politics of Longtermism

Ratio, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Despite advancing strong claims about our collective priorities, longtermism has received little attention in debates in political philosophy. I first provide an account of longtermism that highlights the way it departs from established work on intergenerational justice.

Technical considerations and review of urinary microRNAs as biomarkers for chronic kidney disease in dogs and cats

Veterinary Clinical Pathology, EarlyView.
Abstract MicroRNAs (miRNAs or miRs) are small, non‐coding RNAs that play a crucial role in gene regulation, making them potential biomarkers for various diseases. In the field of veterinary medicine, there is a growing interest in exploring the diagnostic and therapeutic potential of miRNAs in kidney diseases affecting dogs and cats.

Low‐dose X‐ray radiation induces an adaptive response: A potential countermeasure to galactic cosmic radiation exposure

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Space exploration involves many dangers including galactic cosmic radiation (GCR). This class of radiation includes high‐energy protons and heavy ionizing ions. NASA has defined GCR as a carcinogenic risk for long‐duration space missions. To date, no clear strategy has been developed to counter chronic GCR exposure.

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.

50% body weight loading reduces stature increases and lumbar disc expansion from 4 h hyper‐buoyancy floatation versus 15 min sitting upright

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Microgravity is associated with stature increases, back pain and post‐flight intervertebral disc (IVD) herniation. This study aims to determine whether 30 s seated 50% body weight (BW) axial loading is comparable to 15 min sitting upright in 1 g upon changes in stature, anterior lumbar IVD height (via ultrasound), passive vertebral stiffness ...

Plasticity of the heart in response to changes in physical activity

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend The heart adapts to changes in physical activity, with inactivity (e.g. bed rest or spaceflight) causing cardiac atrophy and ventricular stiffening, and endurance exercise training leading to eccentric hypertrophy and improved ventricular compliance.
