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 ...

Quantifying skin microvascular function responses to distinct forms of heat stress in humans using optical coherence tomography

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Optical coherence tomography (OCT) enables visualization and quantification of the cutaneous microvasculature, yet no study has compared responses to distinct forms of heating in humans. We hypothesized that local skin heating (LH) would evoke larger responses in microvascular diameter, velocity, flow and density than passive whole‐body ...

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 ...

The Incidence of Negative Laparoscopy for Pelvic Pain Stratified by Level of Training and Location of Service Provision

Australian and New Zealand Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Volume 66, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Systematic reduction of negative laparoscopy for pelvic pain is crucial to reducing surgical morbidity, improving diagnostic accuracy and minimising cost. This study aims to determine the incidence and consider the underlying causes of negative laparoscopy in women presenting with pelvic pain.
