Athlete burnout is a concern because of its potential negative consequences for athlete performance and welfare. The aim of the current research was to examine if proposed early signs of burnout measured mid-season were associated with characteristics of burnout measured at the end of the season. Quantitative methods (i.e., questionnaire) were used to identify the level of burnout and perceptions of proposed early signs among male professional rugby union players (n=183) aged 18-36 years (M=25.19, S.D.=2.98). Results indicated significant associations among proposed early signs measured mid-season and athlete burnout measured at the end of the season. Consistent with previous research perceived rugby and money hassles were positively associated with key characteristics of burnout whereas perceptions of adequate social support were negatively correlated with burnout characteristics. In conclusion this study provides further support for the proposed early signs of athlete burnout.

Noninvasive imaging of β-amyloid is pivotal for the early diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). While single imaging methods have been extensively studied for detecting Aβ over the past decade, dual-modal probes have received scant attention. In this study, we synthesized and assessed a series of half-curcumin probes, among which demonstrated a high affinity and selectivity for Aβ aggregates.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most lethal malignancies worldwide and the most common form of liver cancer. Despite global efforts toward early diagnosis and effective treatments, HCC is often diagnosed at advanced stages, where conventional therapies frequently lead to resistance and/or high recurrence rates. Therefore, novel biomarkers and promising medications are urgently required.
