Setting: Three tertiary rehabilitation hospitals.

Concussion incidence and mechanisms differ between elite females and males in Australian Football.

Objectives: To investigate the incidence and the game circumstances of concussion in the professional female (AFLW) and male (AFL) competitions of Australian Football, to identify potential targets for risk reduction.

Design: Retrospective cohort.

Methods: Concussion data were obtained from the AFL injury database, which included all concussions sustained by AFL (Male) players from 2015 to 18 and AFLW (Female) players from 2017 to 19.

Synthetic cannabinoid use in an adult male prison in the UK.

Introduction: Synthetic cannabinoids (i.e. Spice) are a major public health problem in UK prisons, however, research in this area is limited.

Unbiased proteomic analysis of extracellular vesicles secreted by senescent human vascular smooth muscle cells reveals their ability to modulate immune cell functions.

Atherosclerosis, a common age-related disease, is characterized by intense immunological activity. Atherosclerotic plaque is composed of endothelial cells, vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), lipids and immune cells infiltrating from the blood. During progression of the disease, VSMCs undergo senescence within the plaque and secrete SASP (senescence-associated secretory phenotype) factors that can actively modulate plaque microenvironment.
