Sex differences in elite track and field performances and inferences about steroid doping.
Exp Physiol

Females likely experience larger performance benefits from androgenic-anabolic steroids than males. We set out to determine if there were temporal differences in select athletics (track and field) records between females and males. Exploratory aims included: (1) evaluating the improvements in female and male world records over time, and (2) investigating the influence of doping programs on male and female world records before and after 1990, when sports governing bodies began to implement random out-of-competition and systematic in-competition drug testing.

A new approach to developing structural sodium batteries capable of operating in ambient-temperature conditions has been successfully achieved. The developed multifunctional structural electrolyte (SE) using poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) as a matrix integrated with succinonitrile (SN) plasticizers and glass-fiber (GF) reinforcements identified as GF_PEO-SN-NaClO showed a tensile strength of 32.1 MPa and an ionic conductivity of 1.

Article Synopsis
- - This study evaluated the improvement in outcomes of robotic-assisted navigation (RAN) spine surgery as the surgeon's experience increased beyond 200 cases, focusing on operative time and the accuracy of pedicle screw placements.
- - A retrospective analysis of 60 patients divided into three groups showed that with each successive group, registration time, screw insertion time, and total operative time significantly decreased, while precision in screw placement improved from 87% to 98% as case numbers increased.
- - The study concluded that, although RAN spine surgery can be performed accurately from the start, outcomes significantly improve with increased surgical experience, highlighting the benefits of continued practice.
Dodecafluoropentane emulsion as an oxygen therapeutic.

Dodecafluoropentane emulsion (DDFPe) is a fluorocarbon (FC) under clinical development as an oxygen therapeutic and is regulated as a blood substitute. Compared to all the prior FCs studied, DDFP is the most advantageous for oxygen delivery and it is active at a lower concentration (1/200th to 1/1000th the weight of other FCs). DDFP has a boiling point of 29 °C, is more water soluble than prior FCs, and following IV administration clears exhalation.

Background: Anatomic anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is considered the gold standard treatment for ACL injuries because it aims to restore the knee's normal anatomy and stability, while also protecting long-term knee health. Long-term clinical and radiological outcomes after ACL reconstruction using the modified TT technique are unclear.
Objective: To assess the clinical and radiological outcomes following ACL reconstruction using modified transtibial (TT) techniques at a minimum 12-month follow-up.
