The present scoping review aims to describe the available criteria to determine Return-To-Play (RTP), propose methodological considerations and new research questions, and provide information to help practitioners in professional football make informed decisions regarding RTP following a hamstring strain injury (HSI) in professional male football. The following electronic databases were searched: PubMed, MEDLINE, web of science and SPORTDiscus using keywords related to HSI in elite football. All types of studies in English reporting at least one RTP criterion for professional football players who sustained an HSI were included.

Electrical current pulses can be used to manipulate magnetization efficiently via spin-orbit torques. Pulse durations as short as a few picoseconds have been used to switch the magnetization of ferromagnetic films, reaching the terahertz regime. However, little is known about the reversal mechanisms and energy requirements in the ultrafast switching regime.

Article Synopsis
  • Epitaxial graphene/ferromagnetic metal heterostructures are promising for spintronic devices due to their unique magnetic properties and stability.
  • The research focuses on understanding the spin-orbit coupling at the interface of graphene and cobalt on iridium, revealing that hybridization contributes to strong coupling effects.
  • Findings indicate that while thin cobalt layers exhibit significant spin-orbit effects, these vanish with thicker layers, highlighting the importance of graphene's electronic interactions for future spintronic applications.

Background: The purpose of this study is to access whether a personal attitude to physical activity (PA) may influence the appearance of diabetic polyneuropathy (DPN) patients with well-controlled type 1 diabetes mellitus.

Methods: Ninety patients attending the diabetes technology outpatient clinic were enrolled. DPN was investigated according to the Toronto consensus diagnostic criteria.
