No difference in mean middle cerebral artery blood velocity responses between lower‐ and upper‐body unilateral resistance exercise in untrained individuals

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Dynamic resistance exercise (RE) produces sinusoidal fluctuations in blood pressure that are mirrored by middle cerebral artery blood velocity (MCAv). However, whether lower‐ or upper‐body RE elicits a differential cerebrovascular response has not yet been examined.

Quantifying microvascular responses to local heating using optical coherence tomography: Comparison between skin sites and sex differences

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Summary of the study design, metholodgy, results and conclusions. Abstract Due to a lack of technical capacity to directly visualise and quantify microvessels in the skin, little is known regarding regional and/or sex differences. We compared diameter, velocity, flow and density at four regional sites using a novel optical coherence tomography (OCT ...

Myths and methodologies: Optimising experimental rigour in heat adaptation research: Menstrual status classification and scheduling approaches

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Women remain underrepresented in thermal physiology research, particularly within studies examining physiological adaptation to hot environments. Among the limited research that includes female participants, few studies have appropriately classified menstrual status of their participants or rigorously accounted for ovarian hormone influences ...

Rare case of retained Copper‑T IUCD transmigration, presenting in a pregnant lady with Caecal Perforation Requiring Ileocecal Resection and Ileocolic Anastomosis: A Case report.

Pakistan Journal of Medicine and Dentistry
: Background: Intrauterine contraceptive devices (IUCDs) are effective long‑acting reversible contraceptives but may rarely perforate the uterus and migrate to adjacent viscera, sometimes remaining asymptomatic for years. Case Presentation: A 33‑year‑

The effects of a (poly)phenol‐rich food intervention on markers of exercise‐induced inflammation and oxidative stress: A randomised controlled trial

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract This study examined whether consuming a (poly)phenol‐rich food before strenuous muscle‐damaging exercise can modify post‐exercise markers of inflammation and oxidative stress. Using a double‐blinded, randomised, placebo‐controlled, between‐subjects design, 26 recreationally active males (n = 15) and females (n = 11) consumed higher‐(poly ...

Oxidative stress and impaired cardiovagal baroreflex sensitivity in young adults with post‐traumatic stress disorder

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Post‐traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is associated with elevated cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk, yet the underlying physiological characterization in young adults remain unclear. This study examines whether autonomic and/or vascular dysfunction predominates as an early precursor to CVD development in young adults with PTSD and explores the

Accuracy of next‐generation wireless skin temperature sensors during exercise–heat stress

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Skin temperature is fundamental in characterising human thermoregulatory responses. Wired probes, although accurate, restrict movement and are impractical outside laboratory settings. The iButton (DS1922L; Maxim Integrated, USA) is a widely used wireless alternative but does not meet the precision recommended by ISO 9886 and permits only ...

Acute intermittent hypercapnic hypoxia augments left ventricular contractility

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Twenty‐four healthy adults were studied to determine the effects of an acute session of 40 min of intermittent hypercapnic hypoxia on cardiac performance. Cardiac function was assessed via echocardiography at rest and during graded stages of lower‐body negative pressure before and after the intervention to quantify load ...

Factors Associated With Female Adolescent Usage of Modern Contraceptives in Northern Ghana: A Cross‐Sectional Survey of a Rural Municipality

Public Health Challenges, Volume 5, Issue 3, September 2026.
Among 408 sexually active adolescent girls in rural northern Ghana, modern contraceptive use was low (20.8%) despite high awareness (75.2%). Maternal education and information from health workers/teachers were associated with lower use, whereas clinic availability increased use. Interventions must move beyond awareness to address social norms and youth‐
