Asylum as Artifice: Race, Law and Capital as Regimes of Abstraction in the United Kingdom's Asylum Accommodation System

open access: yesTransactions of the Institute of British Geographers, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Taking as its case study the category of the ‘asylum seeker’ in UK law, this paper develops on latent concerns in legal geographies with processes of abstraction. Following Bhandar and Toscano, race, law and capital are here understood as different, co‐articulating modalities of abstraction, through which the ‘asylum seeker’ is constituted and

Blood flow restriction: The acute effects of body tilting and reduced gravity analogues on limb occlusion pressure

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Blood flow restriction (BFR) has been identified as a potential countermeasure to mitigate physiological deconditioning during spaceflight. Guidelines recommend that tourniquet pressure be prescribed relative to limb occlusion pressure (LOP); however, it is unclear whether body tilting or reduced gravity analogues influence LOP.

Leg‐fidgeting versus standing breaks during prolonged sitting: Impacts on blood pressure and heart rate in young women

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract The objective of this work was to examine whether leg‐fidgeting breaks during prolonged sitting could be a practical alternative to standing breaks in preventing blood pressure (BP) and heart rate (HR) impairments. Young women (n = 16; age = 21.9 ± 3.0 years; body mass index = 21.1 ± 4.9 kg/m2) completed three 3‐h prolonged sitting conditions ...

Cortical responses to balance perturbations persist without active postural control

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend A robotic balance simulator was used to test whether cortical responses to balance perturbations are contingent on active balance control or instead reflect the detection of unexpected motion. Participants experienced identical support‐surface rotations (toes‐up and toes‐down) while actively controlling balance or while being ...

Facilitating Genetic Testing for Perinatal Demise: Development of a Multidisciplinary Workflow

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, Volume 200, Issue 6, Page 1273-1285, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Genetic contributors to perinatal demise are common but frequently undiagnosed due to clinical and logistical barriers. We aimed to improve access to genetic for intrauterine fetal demise (IUFD), stillbirth, and early neonatal death by developing a multidisciplinary workflow.

From Pressure Patterns to Personalized Insoles: A Systematic Review of Demographic Influences on Plantar Pressure

open access: yesJournal of Foot and Ankle Research, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Plantar pressure distribution is a widely used biomechanical measure for characterizing foot–ground loading during gait in research and clinical assessment. Demographic variables, such as sex, age, and body weight, influence plantar loading patterns; however, findings across studies have been inconsistent, limiting direct clinical ...
