Pharmacokinetics of 2 mg/kg Bupivacaine in a Rectus Abdominis Sheath Block in Horses

open access: yesJournal of Veterinary Pharmacology and Therapeutics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Administering large volumes of bupivacaine in the rectus abdominis sheath (RAS) block in horses could cause local anesthetic toxicity. This study aimed to evaluate the pharmacokinetics of 2 mg/kg bupivacaine in RAS blocks and the associated toxicity risk.

Z-entry technique reduces the risk of trocar-site hernias in obese patients [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Open laparoscopy and techniques using a Veress needle permit entry into the peritoneal cavity, and are recommended. These approaches require fascial closure of 12mm trocar sites, thereby reducing the risk of trocar-site hernias in obese ...

ATHLETIC: An exoskeleton countermeasure exercise device for resistive and plyometric training in deep‐space missions

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Prolonged exposure to weightlessness leads to loss of muscle and bone mass. Therefore, astronauts on board the International Space Station (ISS) currently perform mandatory daily exercises. ISS missions usually last 6 months, and future missions will become significantly longer when going, for example, to Mars.

NEX4EX – A novel exercise device enabling resistive, plyometric and sensorimotor training during deep‐space missions: A case report

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract During weightlessness, the human neuro–muscular–skeletal system undergoes maladaptation to the microgravity environment. The European Space Agency (ESA) project NEX4EX, ‘Novel Exercise Hardware for Exploration’, developed an advanced multipurpose exerciser offering resistive (RES), plyometric (PLYO) and sensorimotor (SENSO) exercises.

The Conjugated Bile Acids Profile Suggests a Novel Liver‐Muscle Axis Associated With Sarcopenia in Chronic Liver Disease

open access: yesLiver International, Volume 46, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Liver‐related sarcopenia is a devastating systemic complication of chronic liver disease (CLD) driven by mechanisms extending beyond nutritional deficiency. However, the role of liver‐derived humoral factors remains unclear. We utilised a unique cohort of human skeletal muscle biopsies to test the hypothesis that serum conjugated ...
