Implementation strategies for school-based universal prevention: A qualitative pilot study of Enhanced and standard Replicating Effective Programs

Implementation Research and Practice
Background School-based universal prevention programs, like the Michigan Model for Health™ (MMH), hold promise for enhancing youth behavioral health but often face implementation challenges due to insufficiently addressing priority student issues ...

Eight weeks of post‐exercise local heating does not improve cognition and plasma brain‐derived neurotrophic factor concentrations

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Exercise and heat stress have been reported to independently provide benefits to brain health. We tested the hypothesis that 8 weeks of post‐exercise local heating, passive local heating only, or exercise training only improves cognitive performance compared to a control group.

Variability and error in measurement of infant formula powder and water: an experimental study

Frontiers in Nutrition
IntroductionFormula feeding is the only viable nutrition alternative for infants 0–6mos who cannot breastfeed. Among the drawbacks of formula feeding, however, is potential dilution or concentration errors in the formula during preparation that may lead ...

Cerebral haemodynamic responses to inspiratory muscle work

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Fatiguing inspiratory work has been shown to evoke a sympathetically mediated reflex that has systemic cardiovascular consequences, including increases in heart rate and blood pressure and a decrease in resting limb vascular conductance. Moreover, the response to this reflex appears to be attenuated in females compared with males.

Evaluation of the psychometric properties of the family adaptability and cohesion scale (FACES III) through item response theory models in students from Chile and Colombia

BMC Psychology
Background A psychometric study of the Family Adaptability and Cohesion Scale (FACES III) has been conducted in Spanish-speaking countries from the perspective of the classical test theory.

Noradrenergic regulation of skeletal muscle oxygen pressures: Impact of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction and heat therapy

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Attenuation of sympathetic vasoconstriction during exercise (functional sympatholysis) contributes to skeletal muscle oxygen delivery–utilization matching. However, the extent to which muscle contractions impact noradrenergic regulation of interstitial oxygen pressures (PO2is${P_{{{\mathrm{O}}_2}}}_{{\mathrm{is}}}$; the driving force for blood–

Evidence of racial differences in peripheral blood pressure, central haemodynamics and arterial stiffness between young Black and White women

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Hypertension diagnosed via peripheral (brachial) blood pressure (pBP) is a strong independent predictor of overt cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, central (aortic) blood pressure (cBP), which is influenced by arterial stiffness, may be more strongly associated with CVD risk. Young Black women (BLW) demonstrate higher pBP than White women (

One day of environment‐induced heat stress causes injury to the murine kidney

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Environment‐induced heat stress (EIHS) results from sustained body temperature elevation owing to prolonged exposure to heat and humidity. We hypothesized that EIHS would cause kidney injury and cellular dysfunction. To test this hypothesis, female C57 mice were exposed to EIHS (n = 14; 37.6°C, 42.0% relative humidity) or thermoneutral (TN ...

Optimal levels of sleep, sedentary behaviour, and physical activity needed to support cognitive function in children of the early years

BMC Pediatrics
Background Sleep, sedentary behaviour, physical activity, and the composition of these movement behaviours across the 24-h day are associated with cognitive function in early years children.
