This study aimed to verify the effect of grape juice () intake on exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD) and exercise performance parameters (5 km running time-trial (TT), running economy, and countermovement jump (CMJ)). Twenty trained male runners were randomized into two blinded groups and consumed either placebo ( = 9) or grape juice ( = 11) for six consecutive days (600 mL/day). On the fourth day, the participants performed a downhill running (-15%) at speed that elicited 70% V̇Omax for 20 min, to induce muscle damage, followed by assessment of running economy, 5 km TT, and CMJ tests.

As a result, developing 3D models for extracellular matrix (ECM) has been growing exponentially. Most of the efforts for these 3D models are geared toward understanding cancer cells.

- - Polaritons can confine light at the nanoscale, especially in two-dimensional (2D) materials, making their study essential for advanced applications.
- - Previous methods focused on optical measurements, but this research introduces a way to electrically detect 2D polaritons using a high-quality 2D-material heterostructure as both a polaritonic platform and a photodetector.
- - The study highlights the successful electrical detection of mid-infrared polaritonic nanoresonators, which exhibit extreme confinement and high-quality factors, paving the way for new developments in compact sensing and imaging technologies.
Introduction: The high incidence of morbidity and mortality associated with the post-cardiac arrest (CA) period highlights the need for novel therapeutic interventions to improve the outcome of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU). The aim of this study is to assess the ability of high-dose intravenous vitamin C (Vit-C) to improve post-CA shock.
Methods And Analysis: This is a single-blind, open-label, multicentre, randomised controlled trial, involving 234 OHCA patients with post-CA shock planned to be enrolled in 10 French ICUs.
