Background: The physical and mental demands of handball during training or competition often lead to fatigue which can impair performance. Many attempts have been made to assess the level of fatigue in athletes either by objective (neuromuscular performance) or subjective (questionnaires) measures, however, their interplay over short-, mid-, and long-term periods is currently unknown. Knowledge about both types of assessments is important as load management by coaches is traditionally based on direct adjustments following a training session, adjustments of content structure of training weeks between games, as well as adjustments of load management over the entire competitive season.

The incidence of ulnar collateral ligament injuries has increased over the past decade. As a result, the rate of ulnar collateral ligament reconstruction has increased dramatically at all levels of competition in overhead athletes. Currently, there is no consensus on milestones during rehabilitation or a largely agreed-upon structured throwing program after ulnar collateral ligament injuries.

Insecticide application prevents honey bees from realizing benefits of native forage in an agricultural landscape.

Health and population status of bees is negatively affected by anthropogenic stressors, many of which co-occur in agricultural settings. While pollinator habitat (often involving plantings of native forbs) holds promise to benefit both managed and wild bees, important issues remain unresolved. These include whether conventional, broad-spectrum insecticide use negates these benefits and how non-native, managed honey bees affect wild bees in these areas.

This study explored and compared the associations between pharmacy competition and drug expenditures by individuals with influenza. This study used a dataset consisting of 6 694 534 individuals who purchased drugs for influenza at pharmacies from 2015 to 2019 in China. Patients' annual average influenza-specific drug expenditures per visit at pharmacies was the outcome variable of interest.

Can Thinning Foster Forest Genetic Adaptation to Drought? A Demo-Genetic Modelling Approach With Disturbance Regimes.

Evol Appl

December 2024

INRAE, UR 629 Ecologie des Forêts Méditerranéennes (URFM), Domaine Saint Paul-Site Agroparc Avignon France.

Article Synopsis
  • The study examines how management practices in forests can affect natural selection and adaptations to environmental stress, specifically drought.
  • By using a modeling approach with the Luberon2 simulation, researchers explored the effects of tree thinning on growth traits and drought sensitivity over three generations.
  • Results indicate that while thinning reduced competition pressures, traditional practices that favor larger trees may unintentionally enhance genetic traits that are not beneficial for long-term drought resilience.
