Abstract: Changes in skeletal muscle size may be affected by resting blood flow (e.g., nutrient delivery) and this change in size is a hypothesized mechanism for changes in strength.

A total of 179 participants (18-35 years) were randomly assigned to one of three training groups that exercised 3 times per week for six weeks or a non-exercise control group. The groups are as follows: 1) Control [CON, = 44]; 2) completed 4 sets of two-minute isometric contractions at 30% maximal voluntary contraction [LI, = 47]; 3) completed 4 sets of two-minute isometric contractions at 30% maximal voluntary contraction with a 12 cm cuff inflated to 50% of arterial occlusion pressure [LI+BFR, = 41]; or 4) completed 4 maximal isometric contractions lasting 5 seconds [MAX, = 47].

Methods: An online questionnaire of closed- and open-ended questions was distributed to CPs in the UK in May 2023. Closed-ended questions were analysed quantitatively, and conventional content analysis was utilised for open-ended responses.
Article Synopsis
- Dementia is a syndrome that causes cognitive changes affecting daily life, with neuropsychiatric symptoms (NPS) often appearing early, even when cognitive decline isn't evident.
- Primary care teams are crucial in dementia care but often lack adequate training for diagnosis and management, which is essential for achieving good outcomes.
- The review discusses four dementia types—Alzheimer's, vascular dementia, Lewy body dementia, and behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia—offering clinical guides to help primary care teams identify early signs and manage related symptoms effectively.
Mirror invariance in the subsequent acquisition of a script with separate forms for reading and writing.
Trends Neurosci Educ
September 2024
Purpose: Does suppression of mirror-invariance in one script generalize to a subsequently learned script?
Method: We examined mirror invariance in writing and recognition among native Latin-scriptal children and adults (n = 181) learning the Hebrew print script (for reading), and among a subset (n = 92) also learning the Hebrew cursive script (for writing). Hebrew-Latin biscriptal Israeli adults (n = 17) provided comparison.
Results: For the most part, mirror invariance was more evident in Hebrew print than in Latin in both writing and recognition among native Latin-scriptals.
