Principles in practice? A policy review of the IOC's environmental sustainability agenda.

This paper is a policy review focused on the environmental sustainability (ES) agenda of the International Olympic Committee (IOC). This incorporates exploration of IOC documents such as policies, strategies, guidelines, reports, codes, and conference outputs. The IOC's ES agenda is interpreted as both strategy around ES, as a plan of action to achieve desired outcomes, and policies around ES, as matters of practice and principle to be enacted.

The Beginning of a Paradigm Shift: Increase in Perioperative Complications Following Vaginal Hysterectomy Compared to Laparoscopic Hysterectomy Using the ACS-NSQIP 2016 - 2019 Database.

Study Objective: In this study, we compare perioperative outcomes following laparoscopic hysterectomy (LH) and vaginal hysterectomy (VH) between 2016 and 2019.

Study Design: A retrospective cohort study.

Study Setting: National database study.

Advancing stroke rehabilitation: the role of wearable technology according to research experts.

Background: Advancements in wearable technology have created new opportunities to monitor stroke survivors' behaviors in daily activities. Research insights are needed to guide its adoption in clinical practice, address current gaps, and shape the future of stroke rehabilitation. This project aims to: (1) Understand stroke rehabilitation researchers' perspectives on the opportunities, challenges, and clinical relevance of wearable technology for stroke rehabilitation, and (2) Identify necessary next steps to integrate wearable technology in research and clinical practice.

Overcoming Challenges with Biochemical Studies of Selenocysteine and Selenoproteins.

Selenocysteine (Sec) is an essential amino acid that distinguishes itself from cysteine by a selenium atom in place of a sulfur atom. This single change imparts distinct chemical properties to Sec which are crucial for selenoprotein (Sec-containing protein) function. These properties include a lower p, enhanced nucleophilicity, and reversible oxidation.

High-throughput transposon mutagenesis in the family Enterobacteriaceae reveals core essential genes and rapid turnover of essentiality.

The Enterobacteriaceae are a scientifically and medically important clade of bacteria, containing the model organism , as well as major human pathogens including and . Essential gene sets have been determined for several members of the Enterobacteriaceae, with the Keio single-gene deletion library often regarded as a gold standard. However, it remains unclear how gene essentiality varies between related strains and species.
