Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming the field of sports science by providing unprecedented insights and tools that enhance training, performance, and health management. This work examines how AI is advancing the role of sports scientists, particularly in team sports environments, by improving training load management, sports performance, and player well-being. It explores key dimensions such as load optimization, injury prevention and return-to-play, sports performance, talent identification and scouting, off-training behavior, sleep quality, and menstrual cycle management.

- Effective oral hygiene is essential for preventing dental issues in adolescents, and traditional education methods often don't engage this age group adequately.
- The study tested a new approach called Jigsaw Puzzle-assisted Visual Reinforcement (JPVR) against conventional methods to see which was more effective in improving toothbrushing knowledge and practices.
- Results showed that adolescents who used the JPVR technique had significantly better knowledge, practices, and healthier clinical indicators after three months compared to those who received traditional education or video demonstrations.
The study of circulating peptides in the blood offers significant opportunities for diagnosing, stratifying, and managing various diseases. With recent technological advances and the ongoing need to understand complex diseases such as acute leukemias (AL), peptidomic analysis of peripheral blood, especially serum and plasma, has become increasingly important for studying human biology and pathophysiology. Here, we provide insights and perspectives on technological developments and potential clinical applications using widely used peptidomic analysis methods.

We present the case of a woman living with HIV, with a history of multiple treatment regimens and resistances to antiretrovirals, who has been successfully treated with a combination of lenacapavir and fostemsavir for the past year, obtaining an undetectable viral load within one month of starting therapy and reporting no serious side effects. This case is amongst the first to document the combined use of lenacapivir and fostemsavir in treating multidrug-resistant HIV.
