Satellite observations from the Clouds and the Earth's Radiant Energy System show that Earth's energy imbalance has doubled from 0.5 ± 0.2 Wm during the first 10 years of this century to 1.

Mild traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) are frequent in the European population. The pathophysiological changes after TBI include metabolic changes, but these are not observable using current clinical tools. We aimed to evaluate multinuclear MRI as a mean of assessing these changes.

Background: Previous research has shown that increasing cycling cadence can result in improved post-cycling gait velocity. However, the specific threshold of cycling cadence required to bring about clinically meaningful changes in gait velocity remains unknown. This study aimed to determine the minimum increment in cycling cadence that would lead to a significant improvement in post-cycling gait velocity.

Article Synopsis
  • Near-infrared reactance spectroscopy (NIRS) is gaining popularity for body composition assessments, but it's unclear how well it matches with established methods like DXA.
  • The study involved 97 participants using both NIRS and DXA for body composition analysis, with a subset performing muscle quality tests.
  • Results showed that NIRS measurements for fat mass and fat-free mass were similar to DXA, highlighting potential for NIRS as an alternative method, although some differences in muscle quality indices were noted.

Introduction/background: Bone mineral content (BMC) is most commonly evaluated using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), but there are several challenges that limit use of DXA during routine care. Breakthroughs in digital imaging now allow smartphone applications to automate important anthropometrics that can predict several body composition components. However, it is unknown whether the anthropometrics automated using smartphone applications can predict DXA-derived BMC.
