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

A mathematical model for describing the retinal nerve fiber bundle trajectories in the human eye:Average course, variability, and influence of refraction, optic disc size and optic disc position [PDF]
Previously we developed a mathematical model for describing the retinal nerve fiber bundle trajectories in the superior-temporal and inferior-temporal regions of the human retina, based on traced trajectories extracted from fundus photographs.

Grandchild caregiving in Hong Kong and implications for intergenerational relationships
Abstract This study draws on perspectives from social exchange theory and Chinese filial piety to assess the validity of these frameworks in explaining grandchildren's caregiving behaviour. Through in‐depth interviews, data on caregiving experiences were collected from 40 grandchildren who had provided care for disabled or ill grandparents.

A novel de novo NSD2 variant (c.2137G>C, p.Gly713Arg) was identified in a Chinese patient presenting with a syndromic developmental disorder. RNA analysis from patient‐derived material revealed that this missense variant induces aberrant splicing of NSD2 transcripts, resulting in a frameshift and likely a loss‐of‐function protein product.
