The role of graphical models in the assessment of transfer evidence is described with particular reference to the role of cross-transfer evidence. The issues involved in the determination of factors (nodes), associations (links) and probabilities to be included are discussed. Four types of subjective probabilities are of particular interest: those for transfer, persistence and recovery; innocent acquisition; relevance; innocent presence. Examples are given to illustrate the roles of various aspects of the suspect's and victim's lifestyle and the investigation of the evidence found on the suspect and victim in assessing the probability of ultimate issue, that the suspect committed the crime.

Determining the Corticospinal Responses and Cross-Transfer of Ballistic Motor Performance in Young and Older Adults: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Ballistic motor training induces plasticity changes and imparts a cross-transfer effect. However, whether there are age-related differences in these changes remain unclear. Thus, the purpose of this study was to perform a meta-analysis to determine the corticospinal responses and cross-transfer of motor performance following ballistic motor training in young and older adults.

Background: A previous randomized controlled trial showed contralateral seventh cervical nerve (CC7) cross transfer to be safe and effective in restoring the arm function of spastic arm paralysis patients in a specified population. Guidance on indications, safety and expected long-term improvements of the surgery are needed for clinical practice.
Methods: This is a retrospective, multicenter, propensity score-matched cohort study.
Blood Flow-restricted Exercise Does Not Induce a Cross-Transfer of Effect: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Purpose: The goal of this trial was to determine whether low-load blood flow-restricted (BFR) exercise of appendicular muscles induces a cross-transfer of effect to the trunk extensor (TE) muscles, such that low-load TE exercise would enhance TE size and function to a greater extent than standard low-load exercise in people with recurrent low back pain (LBP). We also investigated the direct effects of BFR exercise in the appendicular muscles.
Methods: Thirty-two adults with recurrent, nonspecific LBP were randomized into two groups: Appendicular BFR exercise (BFR exercise) or control exercise (CON exercise).
Glucocorticoid exposure affects female fertility by exerting its effect on the uterus but not on the oocyte: lessons from a hypercortisolism mouse model.

Study Question: What is the impact of glucocorticoid (GC) on female reproduction?
Summary Answer: Corticosterone (CORT) exposure causes little damage to oocyte quality or developmental competence but has an adverse effect on the uterus, which causes decreased implantation, embryo death and subsequent infertility.
What Is Known Already: Chronic treatment with high GC doses is effective in controlling most allergic diseases but may lead to metabolic disorders such as obesity that are closely related with reproductive function.
Study Design, Size, Duration: Hypercortisolism was induced in a female mouse model by supplementing the drinking water with 100 μg/ml of CORT.

Article Synopsis
- Study investigates whether low-intensity eccentric contractions (10%EC) can reduce muscle damage after maximal eccentric contractions (MaxEC) performed by the opposite arm.
- Young, untrained men participated in various groups, some doing 10%EC before MaxEC, while others did only MaxEC, with muscle damage markers measured at different time intervals.
- Results indicated that 10%EC significantly reduced muscle damage indicators after MaxEC in the contralateral arm, particularly noted at 1, 2, and 7 days post-exercise, while no major changes were seen in those who only performed MaxEC.
