Physiological mechanisms underlying enhanced performance with blood flow restriction training: neuromuscular, vascular and metabolic adaptations

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend We investigated how 6 weeks of dynamic knee‐extensor interval training with blood flow restriction (BFR‐leg) and without (CTRL‐leg) impacts performance and its mechanisms using non‐invasive methods. Specifically, we used gold‐standard methods to assess neuromuscular function, vascular function using Doppler ultrasound, and near ...

Peripheral κ opioid receptor in pain and inflammation: From molecular signalling and gene expression to drug discovery

British Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 183, Issue 17, Page 5157-5189, September 2026.
The κ opioid receptor (κ receptor, KOR) is a G protein‐coupled receptor with well established roles in analgesia and immune modulation. Although historically studied primarily in the central nervous system (CNS), growing evidence indicates that κ signalling in peripheral tissues plays an important role in regulating pain, inflammation and immune ...

Development of the abdominal musculature in the chicken embryo

Journal of Anatomy, Volume 249, Issue 3, Page 618-633, September 2026.
In this study, we investigate anatomy, morphogenesis, segmental origin, and fiber formation of the abdominal musculature in the chicken embryo. We show that abdominal muscles arise from somites 24 to 28, and that the segmental identity of individual fibers in the abdominal muscle sheets is maintained.

Functional Differences in Muscle Architecture Across the Pelvis and Hind Limb of Primates

American Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 190, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Objectives Understanding the architectural diversity of primate musculature is essential for interpreting locomotor function and reconstructing evolutionary adaptations. This study examines whether interspecific differences in pelvic and hind limb muscle architecture reflect functional differentiation among major muscle groups.

Lower Limb Entheseal Variation in Modern Athletes and an Early Medieval Population: Implications for Activity Reconstruction

American Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 190, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Objectives Entheses are commonly used to infer past activity patterns, yet their interpretation is limited by the combined effects of mechanical loading and intrinsic biological factors. This study addresses this issue by integrating an Early Medieval population from Pohansko (Czechia; 9th–10th centuries CE) with a Spanish modern professional ...

Significant Deficits Are Seen in Extensor Muscle Performance but Not Flexor Muscle Performance 6 Months After Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction Using a Rectus Femoris Tendon Autograft

Arthroscopy, Sports Medicine, and Rehabilitation, Volume 8, Issue 4, August 2026.
Purpose To evaluate bilateral isokinetic performance symmetry of knee extensors and flexors 6 months after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using a rectus femoris tendon autograft. Methods This retrospective case series included patients consecutively recruited at a single tertiary sports medicine center between January 2023 and July 2024 ...

Less‐Invasive Capsulotomy Strategy in Hip Arthroscopy: The Gluteus Minimus Sign as a Visual Landmark for the Joint Capsule Based on Cadaveric Analysis

Arthroscopy Techniques, Volume 15, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Hip arthroscopy requires a capsulotomy to achieve adequate visualization and access; however, an excessive incision can increase the risk of postoperative instability. This technical note describes a less‐invasive capsulotomy technique guided by the “gluteus minimus sign,” a fibrous membrane connecting the main tendon of the gluteus minimus to

Ontogeny and Homology of the Shoulder Joint and Forelimb Muscles in Frogs and Toads (Lissamphibia: Anura)

Journal of Morphology, Volume 287, Issue 8, August 2026.
The ontogenetic development, innervation, and morphology of the shoulder joint and forelimb muscles were investigated in 11 anuran species. The results reveal largely conserved splitting patterns of the dorsal and ventral pre‐muscle masses, alongside interspecific variation in muscle subdivision and morphology.

Prognostic Factors for Postoperative Complications. An Aggregate Protocol for 10 Observational Studies From the Danish TRIPLE‐A Cohort of 1.2 Million Surgeries

Acta Anaesthesiologica Scandinavica, Volume 70, Issue 7, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Postoperative complications substantially increase morbidity, mortality and healthcare costs. Understanding prognostic factors is essential for risk stratification, targeted prevention strategies, and development of prediction models.

3D Radiomic Texture Analysis of Quantitative Muscle MRI Enhances the Distinction Between Myotonic Dystrophy Type 1 and Charcot–Marie‐Tooth Neuropathy Type 1A: A Proof‐of‐Concept Study

European Journal of Neurology, Volume 33, Issue 8, August 2026.
In this proof‐of‐concept study, 3D radiomic texture analysis of quantitative muscle MRI (proton density fat fraction (PDFF, %) maps) distinguished the myogenic disease DM1 from the neurogenic disease CMT1A. Compared with DM1, CMT1A showed higher entropy, contrast, and lower homogeneity, reflecting a reticular vs.
