The Analgesic Enhancing Effects of Coupling M1 and PMC rTMS on Neuropathic Pain After Spinal Cord Injury: An fNIRS Study

Pain Research and Management, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Background Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) of the left primary motor cortex (M1) shows promise for treating neuropathic pain (NP) after spinal cord injury (SCI), but its efficacy remains limited. This study investigated whether combining rTMS on M1 with premotor cortex (PMC) could improve pain relief in SCI patients with NP ...

Prevalence of overweight and obesity in incarcerated individuals in developed and developing countries: A systematic review and meta‐analysis

Obesity Reviews, Volume 26, Issue 6, June 2025.
Summary We systematically assessed evidence of overweight and obesity prevalence, and possible determinants, in people who experience incarceration globally. We searched Embase, Medline, and Cochrane databases. Overweight and obesity proportions were pooled into a meta‐analysis and compared with national prevalences.

Adenosine Monophosphate Improves Lipolysis in Obese Mice by Reducing DNA Methylation via ADORA2A Activation by Ecto‐5′‐Nucleotidase (CD73)

Advanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 14, April 10, 2025.
In this study, the improvement effect of AMP on obesity can be attributed to the conversion of extracellular AMP to ADO through ADORA2A activation by CD73, which can promote lipolysis by reducing DNA methylation level and enhancing HSL gene transcription. These findings show the great potential of AMP in improving obesity.

Somatotypes trajectories during adulthood and their association with COPD phenotypes

ERJ Open Research, 2020
Rationale Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) comprises distinct phenotypes, all characterised by airflow limitation. Objectives We hypothesised that somatotype changes – as a surrogate of adiposity – from early adulthood follow different ...

Surfing the T Wave: A Primer on ECG T Wave Morphologies Encountered in Clinical Trials and Impact on the QT Interval and Patient Safety

Clinical and Translational Science, Volume 18, Issue 3, March 2025.
ABSTRACT Electrocardiogram (ECG) interpretation and measurement is an essential aspect of patient safety and pharmacovigilance in clinical trials. Changes in the T wave segment of an ECG can provide both diagnostic and prognostic information and may be affected by a variety of intrinsic and extrinsic factors related to drug administration.

Mate assessment based on physical characteristics: a review and reflection

Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 1, Page 113-130, February 2025.
ABSTRACT Mate choice, and sex differences in romantic behaviours, represented one of the first major applications of evolutionary biology to human behaviour. This paper reviews Darwinian approaches to heterosexual mate assessment based on physical characteristics, placing the literature in its historical context (1871–1979), before turning ...
