Anticipatory postural adjustments (APAs) give feedforward postural control of the trunk, but they are delayed with ageing, affecting balance and mobility in older individuals. The reticulospinal tract contributes to postural control of the trunk; however, the extent to which age-related changes affect the reticulospinal contributions to APAs of the trunk remains unknown in humans. Here, we tested the hypothesis that a startling acoustic sound, which activates the reticulospinal tract, improves delayed APAs in older individuals.

- Accurate detection of antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 is crucial for managing the pandemic, specifically targeting the viral receptor binding domain (RBD) for neutralizing antibodies.
- The double antigen binding assay (DABA), utilizing a novel approach with solid-phase S1 and a labeled RBD conjugate, has shown high sensitivity (99.6%) and specificity (100%) in measuring anti-RBD antibodies.
- This assay helps confirm previous infections, monitor vaccine responses, and assess disease severity, making it valuable for clinical use and public health studies.
