Length of the Adult Human Colon in Health and Constipation Measured Using Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Neurogastroenterology &Motility, EarlyView.
Colon length was measured in adult healthy volunteers, people with chronic constipation, and people with IBS with constipation using MRI. Colon length is significantly longer in chronic constipation. The chronically constipated colon is unable to accommodate longitudinally in response to fluid influx from a macrogol challenge.

Abscisic Acid and Calcium Signals Convergently Regulate Sugar Accumulation by Orchestrating the SRK2A/CIPK6‐ABI5‐TST2 Module in Citrus

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Abscisic acid (ABA) and calcium respectively work as crucial plant hormones and second signalling molecules in the regulation of fruit development and quality formation, including the sugar content and flavour quality. However, the regulatory mechanisms of fruit sugar accumulation arising from the interaction between ABA and calcium have not ...

Engineered surface strategies to manage dental implant‐related infections

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract When exposed to the oral environment, dental implants, like natural surfaces, become substrates for microbial adhesion and accumulation, often leading to implant‐related infections—one of the main causes of implant failure. These failures impose significant costs on patients, clinicians, and healthcare systems.

Generation Inequality in an Aging Society: The Demographic Welfare Dilemma

Social Policy &Administration, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study provides empirical evidence that Japanese local governments have political incentives to prioritize policies favoring the elderly population in order to secure electoral support. Such preferences may come at the expense of the younger generation, whose presence is often associated with reduced short‐term political performance.

The Politics of Social Care in Japan: How Central–Local Interactions Shaped Child Allowances and Elderly Medical Care

Social Policy &Administration, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines why Japan's social care reforms of the early 1970s led to a generous elderly care system but only modest and narrowly targeted support for children. Although child allowances and free medical care for the elderly were introduced almost simultaneously, they followed sharply divergent paths.

Isometric handgrip contraction increases tibialis anterior intrinsic motoneuron excitability in a dose‐dependent manner

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract The contribution of persistent inward currents (PICs) to motoneuron firing in the lower limb typically increases after a remote handgrip contraction, believed to result from diffuse serotonergic input increases in spinal cord. We investigated whether handgrip contraction intensity, duration and/or impulse would affect PIC estimates in tibialis
