Io experiences tidal deformation due to its eccentric orbit around Jupiter, which provides a primary energy source for Io's ongoing volcanic activity and infrared emission. The amount of tidal energy dissipated within Io is enormous and has been hypothesized to support the large-scale melting of Io's interior and the formation of a global subsurface magma ocean. If Io has a shallow global magma ocean, its tidal deformation would be much larger than in the case of a more rigid, mostly solid interior.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFOil spills are a major cause of pollution impacting marine ecosystems. In this work, the effects of short-term exposure to three different concentrations of a hydrocarbon mixture (HC), that simulated the action of such an event, were investigated on Mytilus galloprovincialis specimens. Physiological effects were measured using a battery of biomarkers consisting of cellular activity (phagocytosis), immune-related enzymes, chaperonins (HSP70 and HSC70), and histomorphological alterations.

Beyond its physiological advantages, swimming also offers an exclusive platform to explore the complex interplay between body biomechanics and posture. The specific aim of this study was to investigate the effects of main swimming styles on postural balance in young athletes.

- Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is an immune-mediated disorder with varied symptoms often triggered by infections, including viral ones.
- An 80-year-old man exhibited signs of GBS/Miller-Fisher syndrome overlap after a respiratory infection, and tests showed herpes simplex virus type 1 DNA in his cerebrospinal fluid.
- Treatment with intravenous immunoglobulin and acyclovir led to recovery, highlighting the importance of considering viral infections as potential triggers for autoimmune neurological conditions.
Background: Post-COVID-19 patients may develop impaired lung function, with reduced lung capacities and volumes, respiratory muscle weakness, and physical inactivity. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of a detailed protocol based on breathing training with two specifically designed respiratory devices (SpiroTiger and KS Brief Stimulator) in post-COVID-19 individuals.
Methods: Sixteen young volunteers were randomly allocated into two groups: experimental ( = 8) and control ( = 8).
