Effect of cycloplegia on the refractive status of children

African Vision and Eye Health
Background: The American Optometric Association (AOA), in its 2017 Recommendation for Clinical Practice, proposed cycloplegic testing when initially screening preschool children to detect potential vision-impairing diseases such as strabismus, amblyopia ...

Effect of artificial gravity on calcaneal bone marrow adipose tissue and mineral content in female and male participants in 60 days of bed rest

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Modulation of bone marrow adipose tissue (BMAT) with prolonged inactivity was reported in haemopoietic but not in non‐haemopoietic bones. This prospective randomized controlled trial submitted 16 men and 8 women to 60 days of 6° head‐down‐tilt bed rest.

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.

An eye on long‐duration spaceflight: Controversies, countermeasures and challenges

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Space flight‐associated neuroocular syndrome (SANS) is a consequence of long‐duration space flight and is detected in two‐thirds of astronauts. In‐flight, this can cause a change in the refraction of the eyes, requiring graded hypermetropic ‘superfocus adjustable’ glasses, optic nerve head oedema and choroidal folds.

Physiological cerebrospinal fluid interactions between brain and eye structures are altered after long‐duration spaceflight

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Long‐duration spaceflight represents an extreme challenge, triggering adaptive responses including spaceflight‐associated neuro‐ocular syndrome, characterized by diminished visual acuity and ocular changes, which is a significant health risk for Mars missions.

Clinical, Behavioral and Neuroradiological Phenotype in an Italian Cohort of Patients With Xia Gibbs Syndrome: A Multicenter Cross‐Sectional Study and Systematic Literature Review

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, Volume 200, Issue 9, Page 2067-2079, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Heterozygous variants in the AHDC1 gene are associated with Xia Gibbs Syndrome (XGS), a genetic disorder with a highly variable phenotype. Cognitive impairment, motor delay, language delay, neonatal hypotonia, and sleep apnea are considered “cardinal” signs of the disease.

Sense of Coherence in the Perinatal Period: A Longitudinal Growth Mixture Modeling Analysis

Journal of Clinical Psychology, Volume 82, Issue 9, Page 1271-1284, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Objectives Previous studies have established that higher Sense of Coherence (SoC) predicts lower pregnancy‐specific distress, fewer delivery complications, and increased birth satisfaction. However, less is known about how SoC typically changes over pregnancy, birth, and postnatally and the risk factors and protective factors contributing to ...

Novel Postzygotic Variants Associated With Hypomelanosis of Ito Expand the ACTB‐Related Neurocutaneous Disease Spectrum

Clinical Genetics, Volume 110, Issue 3, Page 369-373, September 2026.
We describe a previously unreported phenotype related to postzygotic ACTB variants with hypomelanosis of Ito, characterized by hypopigmentation associated or not with neurodevelopmental features, distinct from Becker presentations, bridging constitutional neurodevelopmental and somatic cutaneous phenotypes.

USP34 Haploinsufficiency as a Cause of Neurodevelopmental Phenotypes

Clinical Genetics, Volume 110, Issue 3, Page 315-324, September 2026.
Heterozygous loss‐of‐function variants in USP34 cause a novel neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by global developmental delay, speech impairment, autism, hypotonia, craniofacial dysmorphism, and distal limb anomalies. Disrupted Wnt/β‐catenin signaling via reduced Axin stabilization refines gene‐specific contributions within 2p15p16.1 ...

Neurodevelopmental Phenotypes and Brain Anomalies in Individuals With Heterozygous SEMA6A Variants

Clinical Genetics, Volume 110, Issue 3, Page 325-335, September 2026.
SEMA6A plays a role in cell migration and axon guidance in the developing central nervous system. Phenotypes seen in eleven individuals heterozygous for SEMA6A variants included developmental delay, intellectual disability, autism/autistic behaviors, behavioral abnormalities, attention disorders, hypotonia, and brain anomalies.
