We studied maturity and training effects on maximal force and accuracy of force targeting during ballistic handgrips. Male right-handed nontrained adolescents (16-20 yrs.), trained adolescents (oarsmen--16-18 yrs.) and nontrained adults (21-44 yrs.) did right (R) unilateral (UL), left (L) UL handgrip and bilateral (BL) maximal ballistic handgrips. Next, they targeted 30% of maximal respective UL handgrip. We found peak force L:R ratios in adolescents significantly closer to 1 compared to nontrained adults suggesting less hemisphere dominance in adolescents, especially in trained ones. Nontrained adolescents showed smaller bilateral deficit for L hand than the other groups. Adolescents showed a significant underestimation of L hand during BL task (-4.6%), especially oarsmen (-8.7%), while adults showed neither overestimation, nor underestimation during all tasks. The disappearance of the asymmetry of bilateral deficit and L hand errors of force targeting suggest a diminution of neural cross-talk from dominant to non-dominant hand and its better estimate with maturity.

Feasibility of implementing a rapid-learning methodology to inform radiotherapy treatments: key professional stakeholders' views.

Objective: Pragmatic methodologies, often termed rapid-learning, are being pursued that can match the pace of innovation in radiotherapy and generate evidence from the real-world treatment setting. It is important to understand the feasibility of implementing such pragmatic approaches before their application in practice. This study investigated key professional stakeholders' perceptions and opinions of rapid-learning and real-world data (RWD).

Background: The Japanese eel (Anguilla japonica) holds significant economic value in East Asia, but limitations in understanding its reproductive biology have hindered advancements in artificial breeding techniques. Previous research has primarily focused on conserved sex differentiation genes, offering limited insights into the broader molecular mechanisms driving gonadal development and sexual dimorphism. To address these limitations, this study aims to investigate key genes and pathways involved in gonadal development through a comprehensive transcriptomic analysis of male and female eel gonads.

All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Bathinda, Punjab, India.
Design: The study is a prospective, double-blinded randomised control trial that compares the mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) and Biodentine as the pulp space barrier material after induction of a periapical blood clot by over-instrumentation for endodontic regeneration in single-rooted mature permanent anterior tooth (closed apex) with apical periodontitis (periapical pathology of more than 3 mm) and having necrosed pulp. A total of 36 patients were included in the study and after randomisation were allocated equally to both the groups out of which 31 patients returned for follow-up over an 18-month period. The treatment protocol consisted of two separate appointments.

T-cell clonality assessment constitutes an essential part of the diagnostic evaluation of suspected T-cell neoplasms. Recent advances in flow cytometry-based analysis of TCR β chain constant region 1 (TRBC1) have introduced an accurate method of assessment of T-cell clonality. Its broader applicability is constrained due to the requirement of viable cells.

Environmental and social changes during early school age have a profound impact on brain development. However, it remains unclear how the brains of typically-developing children adjust white matter to optimize network topology during this period. This study aims to propose the fiber length distribution as a novel nodal metric to capture the continuous maturation of brain network.
