Adding secondary cognitive tasks to drop vertical jumps alters the landing mechanics of athletes with anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.
J Biomech

Department of Community Medicine and Rehabilitation, Unit of Physiotherapy, Umeå University, Umeå, Sweden. Electronic address:
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reinjury rates among athletes remain very high despite screening protocols designed to assess readiness for return to sport. To better identify biomechanical risk factors for ACL injury, combining neurocognitive challenges and high-impact tasks would more closely resemble sporting demands. We investigated the influence of secondary cognitive tasks on landing mechanics during bilateral drop vertical jumps (DVJs) among athletes following ACL reconstruction and whether sex affected these results.

This study aims to compare shank, rearfoot and forefoot coordination and its variability between runners with habitual rearfoot strike (RFS) and non-RFS (NRFS). 58 healthy males participated in this study (32 RFS, 26 NRFS). Coordination patterns and variability were assessed for the shank, rearfoot, and forefoot segments using a modified vector coding technique during running.

J Biomech
January 2025
Exercise Biochemistry Laboratory, Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Universidade Federal de Santa Maria, Santa Maria, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil.
Understanding intrinsic muscular adaptations more deeply can help clarify their relationships with sports performance. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine if vastus lateralis muscle architecture, quality and stiffness can explain knee extensor maximal torque and countermovement and squat jump performance of athletes. One hundred and two athletes were evaluated based on the architecture, quality and stiffness of the vastus lateralis at rest.

J Clin Neurosci
January 2025
Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, The University of Adelaide, Australia.
The Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) was first published in The Lancet by Sir Graham Teasdale and Bryan Jennett 50 years ago based on their pioneering work on developing a numerical scale to describe coma in clear and reproducible terms and to avoid the confusion associated with the wide variety of descriptive terms for consciousness that were in use at the time. It's difficult to know if Teasdale and Jennett could have predicted how influential, widespread and long-lasting the GCS would become, but in retrospect it seems clear that the GCS was introduced at a perfect stage in the development of modern clinical neurosurgery and neuroscience research. The simplicity of the scale, its recognition by senior academics and the emerging radiology technologies in the 1970s heralded a new era of neuroscience and an approach to the management of not only traumatic brain injury (TBI) but other types of central nervous system disease in which consciousness was affected, such as aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage and stroke.

Electronic address:
Systematic research is still lacking on the content of hydrophilic compounds in Fu Brick Tea (FBT) from major Chinese production regions and their variation patterns during the processing of FBT. This study utilized optimized non-targeted (UHPLC-Q-Exactive Orbitrap-MS) and targeted (UHPLC-QqQ-MS) metabolomics to analyze 73 FBT samples from six regions of China and 30 samples from different stages of FBT processing. 573 and 74 hydrophilic compounds were respectively relatively and absolutely quantified for the first time.
