What in the World Are 4D Shapes?

Noûs, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT It is often said that in special relativity, 4D shapes can be used to explain 3D shape projections onto frames of reference. Perdurantists have frequently used this as a motivation for their view of persistence. Despite this, philosophers never clearly state what 4D shapes are.

Efficacy of Physical Therapy on Maximal Mouth Opening in Patients Affected by Disc Displacement and Degenerative Temporomandibular Joint Diseases: A Systematic Review

Oral Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Among temporomandibular disorders (TMDs), the main arthrogenic entities are disc‐condylar complex disorders and degenerative diseases. Objective This systematic review aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of physiotherapy in patients with temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders. Methods A systematic review was conducted across PubMed,

Robotic‐Arm Assisted Direct Anterior Approach Total Hip Arthroplasty Facilitates Tensor Fasciae Latae Preservation and Early Functional Recovery in Obese Patients

Orthopaedic Surgery, EarlyView.
In obese patients undergoing DAA‐THA, RA technology significantly reduced intraoperative injury to TFL. This muscle preservation effect was significantly associated with attenuated early postoperative inflammation, lower pain levels, and faster functional recovery.

Limited‐Incision Kager's Fascia Flap Coverage Versus Open Repair for Acute Achilles Tendon Rupture: A Retrospective Comparative Study

Orthopaedic Surgery, EarlyView.
This study introduced a limited‐incision Kager's fascia flap coverage technique for the treatment of acute Achilles tendon rupture. At 12‐month follow‐up, this approach demonstrated superior functional outcomes and improved vascularity compared with open repair, suggesting enhanced healing and reduced surgical trauma.

Fatigue Interventions in Patients With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease and Heart Diseases: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Public Health Nursing, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Fatigue is a significant yet under‐addressed symptom in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and heart diseases, impairing quality of life. This systematic review aims to investigate the effectiveness of rehabilitation interventions, including exercise and psychosocial support, in managing fatigue in COPD, ischemic heart ...

Redox‐regulated signalling of adaptations to contractile activity in skeletal muscle: Implications for age‐related muscle weakness

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Skeletal muscle adaptation to contractile activity is modulated by redox signalling, primarily through reactive oxygen species (ROS) such as hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Early research framed ROS as deleterious byproducts of exercise, but subsequent studies have established their roles as signalling molecules involved in mitochondrial biogenesis,

Passive thigh heating improves peak force production in younger adults and early isokinetic force production in younger and older adults

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Older adults often suffer from reduced physical capability relative to young adults, in part due to impaired muscle function. This study investigated the ergogenic effects of passive thigh heating on knee extensor torque production in healthy older versus younger adults.

Lower limb blood flow responses during higher‐ and lower‐load bilateral leg press exercise

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract The local blood flow response to resistance exercise (RE) is complicated by local muscular contractions and large swings in perfusion pressure. The magnitude of these responses might vary according to exercise intensity, number of sets and number of repetitions, and as a result, the local shear environment during RE remains uncharacterized. We

Changes in motor unit conduction velocity after unilateral lower‐limb suspension and active recovery are correlated with muscle ion channel gene expression

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract The effects of muscle disuse on the propagation of action potentials along motor unit (MU) muscle fibres, a key process for effective muscle activation and force generation, remain poorly understood. The aim of this study was to investigate changes in action potential propagation and to identify biological factors influencing these changes ...
