The Emirates Mars Mission (EMM) was launched to Mars in the summer of 2020, and is the first interplanetary spacecraft mission undertaken by the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The mission has multiple programmatic and scientific objectives, including the return of scientifically useful information about Mars. Three science instruments on the mission's Hope Probe will make global remote sensing measurements of the Martian atmosphere from a large low-inclination orbit that will advance our understanding of atmospheric variability on daily and seasonal timescales, as well as vertical atmospheric transport and escape.

Yet, there is a limited understanding of how hip and groin strength assessments relate to vital game-based tasks such as sprinting and change of direction (COD) performance. Our aim was to explore field-based strength assessments and their relationships with both sprint and COD performance in male academy footballers.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective audit of patients attending EDs in the Southern District Health Board (SDHB), from 1 March to 13 May 2020. We made comparisons with attendances during the same period in 2019.
Non-contact lower limb injuries are common in academy football. Yet, the impact these injuries have on strength development in academy footballers remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the impact of non-contact lower limb injury on hip, groin, and knee flexor strength development in male academy youth footballers.

- The ABCG2 Q141K and rs10011796 genetic variants are linked to hyperuricaemia (HU) and may influence the progression from HU to gout.
- A study involving over 16,000 participants, including Europeans and Polynesians, revealed that the ABCG2 141K allele is strongly associated with an increased risk of gout, especially when considering individuals with HU.
- Additionally, the presence of the ABCG2 141K allele, in combination with the rs10011796 genotype, significantly amplifies gout risk in both European and Western Polynesian populations.
