Does a priming warm-up influence the incidence of [Formula: see text] during a ramp test and verification phase?

Objective: This study compared the effects of two different warm-up protocols (normal vs. priming) on the oxygen plateau ([Formula: see text]) incidence rate during a ramp test. It also compared the cardiopulmonary responses during the ramp test and subsequent verification phase.

Resazurin dye is an in vivo sensor of kidney tubular function.

Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is the main functional index of kidney health and disease. Currently, no methods are available to directly measure tubular mass and function. Here, we report a serendipitous finding that the in vitro cell viability dye resazurin can be used in mice as an exogenous sensor of tubular function.

Weight and metabolic changes with long-acting cabotegravir and rilpivirine or bictegravir/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide.

Background: Modest weight and lipid changes have been observed in cabotegravir plus rilpivirine long-acting (CAB+RPV LA) Phase 3/3b studies. The SOLAR study included standardized evaluations of weight and metabolic changes in people living with HIV switching to CAB+RPV LA dosed every 2 months (Q2M) vs. continuing bictegravir/emtricitabine/tenofovir (BIC/FTC/TAF).

Temporally resolved growth patterns reveal novel information about the polygenic nature of complex quantitative traits.

Plant height can be an indicator of plant health across environments and used to identify superior genotypes. Typically plant height is measured at a single timepoint when plants reach terminal height. Evaluating plant height using unoccupied aerial vehicles allows for measurements throughout the growing season, facilitating a better understanding of plant-environment interactions and the genetic basis of this complex trait.
