Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract Ageing leads to an increased prevalence of sarcopenia and frailty, characterised by progressive declines in muscle strength, power and function and reduced physical activity. Hot water immersion (HWI) could potentially improve muscle function, but this is yet to be explored in older adults.

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract We aimed to quantify somatosensory processing in long COVID and interactions between somatosensory processing, fatigability, fatigue, autonomic function, mood and illness beliefs. Eighty‐eight participants (44 long COVID and 44 controls) were invited to complete two testing sessions, where fatigue was induced by either a cognitive or a ...

Update on cellular expression and function of ANO1 channels in urethral smooth muscle
The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract figure legend Activation of ANO1 channels and resulting Cl− efflux are suggested to modulate urethral smooth muscle contractility by enhancing Ca2+ influx via voltage‐dependent Ca2+ entry and resulting contraction in urethral smooth muscle cells.

Reproductive, Female and Child Health, Volume 5, Issue 4, December 2026.ABSTRACT Purpose Despite spending more on healthcare than any other high‐income nation, the United States faces comparatively poor life expectancy outcomes, primarily due to non‐compliance with preventable and modifiable lifestyle behaviours. This review evaluates the multi‐systemic benefits of physical activity, exercise, diet, weight management and ...

Dorsal ischaemic myelopathy in a dog: A case of unilateral, focal predominantly sensory loss
Veterinary Record Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 4, November 2026.Abstract A 3‐year‐3‐month‐old, neutered, male Great Dane was presented with peracute left hindlimb monoparesis. Although voluntary movement was present, the dog was effectively non‐ambulatory due to its size. Proprioception, nociception and spinal reflexes were absent in the left hindlimb, localising the lesion to a left L4–S1 myelopathy.

Suspected hyperthyroidism‐associated myoclonus in a cat
Veterinary Record Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 4, November 2026.Abstract A 10‐year‐old, male, neutered domestic shorthair cat presented with a 2‐week history of progressively worsening myoclonic jerks predominantly involving the head. Jerks were continuous and marked at rest, but became less intense during activity.
