A role for epithelium‐derived 6‐nitrodopamine on human ureter contractility

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Purpose To investigate the basal release of 6‐nitrodopamine (6‐ND) from human isolated ureter and the role of this novel catecholamine in the ureter contractility. Experimental Approach Ureters from 67 brain‐dead organ donors (40 males and 27 females) were used during kidney transplantation procedures.

Maternal exercise improves vascular function in hypertensive offspring via A‐kinase anchoring protein 150 gene (Akap5) epigenetic modifications

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose Regular physical activity is an effective non‐pharmacological approach to hypertension management and maternal exercise improves offspring cardiovascular health, although mechanisms remain unclear. A‐kinase anchoring protein 150 (AKAP150) targets protein kinase Cα to L‐type Ca2+ channels (CaV1.2), enhancing vascular tone in ...

Handwriting speed in left‐handed children with right‐sided neonatal brachial plexus palsy

Developmental Medicine &Child Neurology, EarlyView.
This observational study investigated whether left‐handed children with right‐sided neonatal brachial plexus palsy (NBPP) exhibit reduced handwriting speed compared with typically developing left‐handed peers and explored determinants of any observed differences.

The state of knowledge on four families of Syngnathoidei fishes (Teleostei: Syngnathiformes): Aulostomidae, Centriscidae, Fistulariidae and Solenostomidae

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Knowledge on the ecology and life‐history traits of coastal marine species is vital to inform their conservation and management, especially as their coastal habitats come under increasing threats. However, such data have never been collated for four of the five families in the suborder Syngnathoidei—the close relatives of the better‐studied ...

Holding a wing horizontal: Roles for muscles of the pectoral girdle other than the main two flight muscles

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
This report explores which muscles of the pectoral girdle are employed to allow birds to hold their wings horizontally with a level aerofoil surface during a glide. Abstract Whilst many birds glide briefly with wings held horizontally, some species maintain this posture for extended periods during soaring.

Scaling of internal joint distance in the elbow of small‐ to medium‐sized mammals: Implications for range of motion analyses

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
We investigated the internal joint distances (IJDs) of the humero‐ulnar and humero‐radial joint, within a sample of 15 small‐ to medium‐sized mammals and report isometric results. We also found that joint poses had no effect on IJDs and that IJDs scale isometrically within small species.
