Purpose: The aim of this study was to compare the physiological adaptations of males and females to repeated sprint training in hypoxia (RSH).

Methods: Active males and females completed 7 wk of repeated sprint training in normoxia (RSN; F i O 2 = 0.209, males: n = 11, females: n = 8) or RSH (F i O 2 = 0.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to noninvasively measure supracrestal tissue attachment dimensions (STADs) and explore their relationships with other dental factors like gingival thickness and tooth position.
  • Researchers involved 19 healthy subjects and utilized advanced imaging techniques and statistical analyses to assess 203 teeth, finding variations in STADs based on tooth location and associated factors.
  • Results indicated that STADs were generally larger in mandibular teeth and showed complex correlations with gingival and bone characteristics, emphasizing the importance of tooth position in understanding STAD dynamics.

Background And Objectives: Most research studies on the effects of repeated plasma donation are observational with different study limitations, resulting in high uncertainty on the link between repeated plasma donation and health consequences. Here, we prospectively investigated the safety of intensive or less intensive plasma donation protocols.

Materials And Methods: Sixty-three male subjects participated in this randomized controlled trial and were divided into low-frequency (LF, once/month, n = 16), high-frequency (HF, three times/month, n = 16), very high-frequency (VHF, two times/week, n = 16) and a placebo (P, once/month, n = 15) groups.

The title compound, CHI, is an ethynyl-substituted anthracene. The C-C-I bond angles deviate from 180°, being affected by inter-molecular I⋯π inter-actions. These inter-actions form a two-dimensional supra-molecular structure further supported by offset π-π stacking of neighboring anthracene moieties.

Background: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) affects West Highland white terriers (WHWTs). Osteopontin (SPP1) and fibronectin (FN1) are associated with human IPF and are overexpressed by bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) macrophages in dogs with IPF.

Objective: To investigate the value of these proteins as biomarkers of IPF.
