Heat thermotherapy to improve cardiovascular function and cardiometabolic health: A systematic review and meta‐analysis

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Heat thermotherapy (HT) is reported to promote cardiovascular (CV) and cardiometabolic health benefits. This systematic review and meta‐analysis (CRD42020193669) empirically investigated the efficacy of HT in improving CV and cardiometabolic parameters by assessing responses to single versus multiple HT bouts.

The effects of bed rest on cardiometabolic health: A systematic review and meta‐analysis

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Horizontal bed rest (HBR) and head‐down tilt (HDT) are models of physical inactivity. In this systematic review and meta‐analysis, we aimed to quantify changes in cardiometabolic outcomes during HBR and HDT in healthy adults. Following the PRISMA guidelines, we searched PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science and Cochrane Library until 1 October 2025 ...

Optimal timing to assess exercise‐induced oxidative stress: A systematic review and meta‐analysis

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract There is a lack of consensus on optimal timing to assess redox biomarkers post‐exercise, limiting methodological standardisation and linking oxidative stress to physiology. We determined optimal post‐exercise oxidative stress assessment times using three redox biomarkers: glutathione, F2‐isoprostanes and protein carbonyls.

Variation in Climate Shapes Seedling Recruitment Along Resource Gradients in a Northern Hardwood Forest

Global Change Biology Communications, Volume 1, Issue 2, June 2026.
Seedling counts over 26 years revealed that wetter‐site temperate tree species struggle to recruit in warmer, drier years, whereas drier‐site species are more climate‐tolerant. Shadier forests buffered seedlings from heat and drought. Local soils and canopy cover strongly shaped outcomes, revealing considerable differences among species in climate ...

Japanese Cohort Study and Meta‐Analysis Demonstrate Significant Association Between Serotonin Transporter‐Linked Polymorphic Region and Schizophrenia

Neuropsychopharmacology Reports, Volume 46, Issue 2, June 2026.
This study demonstrates a significant association between the 5‐HTTLPR polymorphism and schizophrenia risk. The short allele was significantly overrepresented in patients (OR = 1.39, p = 0.007), suggesting a potential contribution to schizophrenia risk.

Governing by Ambiguity: Sociotechnical Imaginaries of Platforms in China

Policy &Internet, Volume 18, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Besides clear policy directives, the unresolved and open‐ended elements in policy communication also create discursive politics. This article argues that ambiguity in policy communication reflects the state's exercise of power within a fractured sociocultural landscape.
