We propose a method based on surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) to estimate the resonance Raman cross sections of dyes. The latter are notoriously difficult (or impossible) to obtain by normal (spontaneous) constant wave Raman spectroscopy when the fluorescence quantum yield of the molecules is good and the overwhelming effect of fluorescence masks the Raman spectrum. We propose here to use the fluorescence quenching occurring in SERS conditions to overcome simply this problem. The principles of the method are described and its limitations discussed in detail. The method is demonstrated by estimating the resonance Raman differential cross sections for Rhodamine 6G for seven different excitation wavelengths across the visible range.

Postural control patterns in gravid women-A systematic review.
PLoS One
December 2024
Section of Rehabilitation in Orthopaedics, Clinical Rehabilitation Institute, Faculty of Motor Rehabilitation, University of Physical Education, Krakow, Poland.
Background: Postural stability is essential for functional independence in the pregnant population. The contradictions between existing studies and the lack of consistent characteristics in the strategies used by pregnant women for postural control demonstrate the need for further investigation.
Objectives: The aim was to review the available literature on postural strategies throughout pregnancy in both static and dynamic conditions and to provide an assessment of the quality of these studies in terms of methodological issues to identify the reasons for the inconsistencies in findings between research centers.
Study of the Normal Crested Porcupine () Nasal Cavity and Paranasal Sinuses by Cross-Sectional Anatomy and Computed Tomography.

Departamento de Patología Animal, Producción Animal, Bromatología y Tecnología de Los Alimentos, Facultad de Veterinaria, Universidad de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Trasmontaña, Arucas, 35413 Las Palmas, Spain.
This study utilized CT imaging to investigate the rostral part of the head of the crested porcupine's head. By combining CT images with anatomical cross-sections, we have provided a detailed description of the structures in this area. This information could be useful for diagnosing disorders and improving their treatment in the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses of crested porcupines.

Advanced footwear technology (AFT) has gained popularity among non-elite runners due to its potential benefits in training and competition. This study investigated the training practices and reported outcomes in non-elite runners using AFT. A cross-sectional observational study was conducted with 61 non-elite runners competing in distances ranging from 5 km to marathons.

Body composition could influence exercise physiology. However, no one has ever studied the effect of visceral fat (VF) on heart rate (HR) trends during and after exercise by using bioimpedance analysis (BIA). This study aims to investigate BIA variables as predictors of HR trends during vigorous exercise.

Centro Polifunzionale di Scienze Motorie, University of Genoa, 16132 Genoa, Italy.
The Multiple Frequency Speed of Kick Test (FSKT) is used to investigate which characteristics are necessary for, contribute to, or limit the ability to repeat high-intensity intermittent efforts in taekwondo. This cross-sectional study investigated the relationship between anthropometric and body composition characteristics, muscle power performance, and sport-specific anaerobic performance. Nineteen black belt taekwondo athletes (mean ± SD age: 17.
