Understanding the distribution of breeding populations of migratory animals in the non-breeding period (migratory connectivity) is important for understanding their response to environmental change. High connectivity (low non-breeding population dispersion) may lower resilience to climate change and increase vulnerability to habitat loss within their range. Very high levels of connectivity are reportedly rare, but this conclusion may be limited by methodology.

Introduction: Triage tools are used within trauma networks to identify which injured patients should be bypassed and pre-alerted to major trauma centres. Despite the importance of treating the 'right patient in the right place at the right time', there has been no consensus on triage tool structure or content. This study aimed to identify, collate, review, summarise and recognise patterns across established major trauma triage tools.

Tools to calculate human movement patterns can benefit musculoskeletal clinicians and researchers for rehabilitation assessments. The research objective of this study was to compare two human pose estimation models (HRNet, MediaPipe) against the laboratory marker-based reference standard for joint angles and range of motion (ROM) for several movement parameters. Twenty-two healthy volunteers (Female n = 16, Male n = 6), participated to compare outputs for knee and elbow kinematics.

Article Synopsis
  • The TMEM16A chloride channel is being studied as a potential treatment for cystic fibrosis by improving airway hydration and reducing symptoms.
  • Research using Xenopus tadpole skin revealed that TMEM16A is present in cells similar to mammalian goblet cells and functions as a calcium-activated chloride channel.
  • Deleting TMEM16A led to abnormal mucin maturation and disrupted mucus quality, indicating its critical role in maintaining a healthy mucus barrier.
