In biomedical research, telemetry is used to take automated physiological measurements wirelessly from animals, as it reduces their stress and allows recordings for large data collection over long periods. The ability to transmit high-throughput data from an in-body device (e.g.

Article Synopsis
  • Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a condition caused by pressure on the median nerve, and treatments like low-intensity laser therapy (LLLT) are being researched for their effectiveness in relief.
  • A systematic review was conducted using multiple databases to analyze the impact of LLLT on symptoms like pain, strength, and hand functionality among 13 selected randomized controlled trials.
  • Results showed that LLLT did not significantly improve pain or handgrip strength, although it had some potential benefits for hand functionality.

Ovarian cancer (OC) presents daunting lethality rates worldwide, with frequent late-stage diagnosis and chemoresistance, highlighting the need for improved prognostic approaches. Venous thromboembolism (VTE), a major cancer mortality factor, is partially driven by endothelial dysfunction (ED). ED's pro-inflammatory state fosters tumour progression, suggesting a VTE-independent link between ED and cancer.

The application of traditional morphological and ecological species concepts to closely related, asexual fungal taxa is challenging due to the lack of distinctive morphological characters and frequent cosmopolitan and plurivorous behaviour. As a result, multilocus sequence analysis (MLSA) has become a powerful and widely used tool to recognise and delimit independent evolutionary lineages (IEL) in fungi. However, MLSA can mask discordances in individual gene trees and lead to misinterpretation of speciation events.
