Article Synopsis
- Psychological science is advancing with new methods and publications like Behavior Research Methods (BRM) that support sharing research tools, but these are often not easy to use again due to low reproducibility.
- A study examined how BRM’s authors and policies affect the usability of research assets, looking at the speed of use and improvements since new policies were put in place.
- Results showed overall improvements in research asset completeness and reusability, particularly for survey and experiment data, and indicated that policy changes have positively impacted the longevity of these research products.
New Findings: What is the central question of this study? Are biomarkers of endothelial function, oxidative stress and inflammation altered by non-freezing cold injury (NFCI)? What is the main finding and its importance? Baseline plasma [interleukin-10] and [syndecan-1] were elevated in individuals with NFCI and cold-exposed control participants. Increased [endothelin-1] following thermal challenges might explain, in part, the increased pain/discomfort experienced with NFCI. Mild to moderate chronic NFCI does not appear to be associated with either oxidative stress or a pro-inflammatory state.

Passive heating has potential to improve glucose homeostasis and act as an exercise mimetic. We assessed the effect of acute passive heating before or during an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) in people with T2DM.
