Background: Spinal cord injury (SCI) often leads to the loss of urinary sensation, making urination difficult. In a previous experiment involving six healthy participants, we measured heartbeat-induced acoustic pulse waves (HAPWs) at the mid-back, calculated time-series power spectra of heart rate gradients at three ultralow/very low frequencies, distinguished and formulated waveform characteristics (one characteristic for each power spectrum, nearly uniform across participants) at times of increased urine in the bladder and heightened urges to urinate, and developed an algorithm with five of these power spectra to identify when urination is needed by extracting the waveform portion (continuous timepoints) where all of the characteristics were consistent with the formulated characteristics. The objective of this study was to verify the validity of the algorithm fed with data from measured HAPW of participants with SCI and to adapt the algorithm for these individuals.

Article Synopsis
- Tabata training started as a specific high-intensity cycling workout for athletes, involving short bursts of effort followed by brief recovery periods.
- It has evolved over 30 years, adapting to various forms of exercise like resistance training and being applied in different sports contexts.
- The article reviews physiological adaptations from Tabata training and its use during the COVID-19 pandemic to combat inactivity, illustrating its broad applicability for both performance and health improvements.
Phenotypic and Genomic Signatures of Latitudinal Local Adaptation Along With Prevailing Ocean Current in a Coastal Goby.
Mol Ecol
December 2024
Faculty of Agriculture, Kyushu University, Fukuoka, Japan.
In the marine realm, unidirectional ocean currents often lead to high migration rates of marine organisms and, therefore, inhibit the formation of their latitudinal genetic structure. In contrast, cryptic latitudinal structures associated with local adaptation may frequently exist in widespread species generally exposed to a strong environmental heterogeneity. However, our understanding of the evolvability of locally adapted populations in open marine environments still needs to be completed.

Article Synopsis
- The study aims to create a flexible yet standardized sleep medicine fellowship curriculum tailored for diverse healthcare settings across Asia, addressing existing training disparities.
- The development process included a thorough gap analysis, literature review, and expert consensus through a structured survey method.
- The resulting curriculum features two training tracks (one-year and two-year), detailed learning outcomes, competency-based content, and comprehensive assessment strategies to enhance sleep medicine education and patient care in the region.
How colonizing alfalfa sprouts modulates the virulence of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli.
Int J Food Microbiol

Department of Food Science and Technology, The Ohio State University, Columbus, OH, USA; Department of Microbiology, The Ohio State University, Columbus, OH, USA. Electronic address:
Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC), a significant cause of foodborne illnesses, is often associated with the consumption of fresh produce, including alfalfa sprouts. This study was executed to determine how quickly STEC grows, adapts, and colonizes alfalfa sprouts during production and storage, and whether the pathogen's virulence and infectious doses are affected by physiological adaptation to sprouts as an environment. A reporter STEC O157:H7 EDL933 strain was developed to track the transcription of eae, a virulence gene involved in colonizing human intestinal enterocytes.
