Effects of Whole-Body Cryotherapy Combined With Conventional Obesity Management Versus Obesity Management Alone: A Clinical Trial. [PDF]
Obesity (Silver Spring)ABSTRACT Objective To investigate whether whole‐body cryotherapy (WBC) enhances weight loss, brown adipose tissue (BAT) activation, and metabolic outcomes during obesity management. Methods Nineteen adults with obesity were assigned to a 12‐month lifestyle‐based obesity management intervention with 28 WBC sessions (−110°C, 3–4 min, ~2 × week) over the ...

Traditional Knowledge and Conservation Priorities of Eurasian Red Squirrel (<i>Sciurus vulgaris</i>) in Finland. [PDF]
Ecol EvolEurasian red squirrel (Sciurus vulgaris) has played an important role in Finnish traditional culture and livelihoods from pre‐historic times. Convergence of observations points to the case where the iconic mammal of the northern forests is in decline and migrating to the urban habitats, with a number of important consequences.

Changes in electrocardiogram parameters during acute nonshivering cold exposure and associations with brown adipose tissue activity, plasma catecholamine levels, and brachial blood pressure in healthy adults. [PDF]
Physiol Rep, 2021 Sympathetic activity causes changes in electrocardiogram (ECG) during cold exposure and the changes have been studied mostly during hypothermia and less during mild acute nonshivering cold exposure. Cold‐induced sympathetic activity also activates brown adipose tissue (BAT) and increases arterial blood pressure (BP) and plasma catecholamine levels.

Reconstruction of Chronic Proximal Hamstring Tear: Description of a Surgical Technique. [PDF]
Arthrosc Tech, 2021 Abstract While proximal hamstring tears at the myotendinous junction are common sports‐related injuries that are often successfully treated nonoperatively, complete avulsions from the origin on the ischial tuberosity are less common and better treated with surgical repair to prevent significant functional limitations and ongoing weakness. The diagnosis

Orthoptera of the peat bogs and wet mountain grasslands in Orava region (NW Slovakia) [PDF]
Fragmenta Faunistica, 2012 Abstract: Peat bogs are habitats of European importance, but only few data exists on crickets and grasshoppers living in these habitats. Altogether 22 species of Orthoptera (6 Tettigonioidea, 2 Tetrigoidea and 14 Acrididoidea) were found in 16 selected localities, in peat bogs and wet mountain meadows in the Orava region in 2008–2011.

Grazing hay meadows: History, distribution, and ecological context
Applied Vegetation Science, Volume 26, Issue 2, April/June 2023., 2023 Grazing hay meadows, once widespread across Europe, became limited to rural regions with maintained traditional agriculture. Spring and autumn grazing, along with corralling and manuring of hay meadows, were integral parts of all farming systems existing in the Carpathian Mountains in parallel before agricultural intensification. We describe details on

Plot size matters: Toward comparable species richness estimates across plot‐based inventories
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 12, Issue 6, June 2022., 2022 Species richness is a commonly used biodiversity indicator. Because it strongly depends on the area sampled, comparability of species richness estimates across inventories using different plot sizes is not directly possible. We provide a methodological framework based on rarefaction curves to tackle this challenge.
