Context: College athletes have been competing in championship track and field events since 1921; the numbers of competing teams and participating athletes have expanded considerably.
Background: Monitoring injuries of men's track and field athletes using surveillance systems is critical in identifying emerging injury-related patterns.
Methods: Exposure and injury data collected in the National Collegiate Athletic Association Injury Surveillance Program during the 2014-2015 through 2018-2019 academic years were analyzed. Injury counts, rates, and proportions were used to describe injury characteristics; injury rate ratios were used to examine differential injury rates.
Results: Overall, men's track and field athletes were injured at a rate of 2.37 per 1000 athlete-exposures; injuries occurred at a higher rate during competition compared with practice. Most injuries were to the thigh (26.2%), lower leg (17.3%), or knee (10.7%) and were caused by noncontact (37.2%) or overuse (31.5%) mechanisms. The most reported injury was hamstring tear (14.9%).
Summary: The etiologies of thigh and lower-leg injuries warrant further attention in this population. Future researchers should also separately examine injury incidence during indoor and outdoor track and field seasons.

Mapping biological mechanisms in cellular systems is a fundamental step in early-stage drug discovery that serves to generate hypotheses on what disease-relevant molecular targets may effectively be modulated by pharmacological interventions. With the advent of high-throughput methods for measuring single-cell gene expression under genetic perturbations, we now have effective means for generating evidence for causal gene-gene interactions at scale. However, evaluating the performance of network inference methods in real-world environments is challenging due to the lack of ground-truth knowledge.

Context: Shoulder and elbow problems are common among athletes in overhead sports, making 7 it essential to understand the characteristics of active athletes with arm trouble to improve and prevent upper extremity disorders. The Kerlan-Jobe Orthopaedic Clinic (KJOC) Score is widely used to evaluate upper extremity functionality in this population. Objective: (1) To compare the KJOC score between athletes with and without arm trouble in various overhead sports; and (2) to clarify the relationship between subjective competitive levels and functional characteristics using correlation analysis of the KJOC score questions.

Testing diverse biomolecules and observing their dynamic interaction in complex biological systems in a label-free manner is critically important for terahertz (THz) absorption spectroscopy. However, traditionally employed micro/nanophotonic techniques suffer from a narrow operating resonance and strong absorption band interference from polar solutions preventing seriously reliable, on-demand biosensor integration. Here, a multifunctional THz plasmonic biosensing platform by leveraging multiple interfering resonances from quasi-bound states in the continuum designed to noninvasively and in situ track the temporal evolution of molecules in multiple analyte systems, is proposed.

Excited-state aromaticity is one of the most widely applied concepts in the field of chemistry, often used as a rational guideline for predicting conformational changes of cyclic π-conjugated systems induced by photoexcitation. Yet, the details of the relationship between the corresponding photoinduced electronic and structural dynamics have remained unclear. In this work, we applied femtosecond transient absorption and time-resolved time-domain Raman spectroscopies to track the nonequilibrium planarization dynamics of a cyclooctatetraene (COT) derivative associated with the excited-state aromaticity.

Memories involving the hippocampus can take several days to consolidate, challenging efforts to uncover the neuronal signatures underlying this process. Here, we use calcium imaging in freely moving mice to track the hippocampal dynamics underlying memory consolidation across a 10-day contextual fear conditioning task. We find two neural signatures that emerge following learning and predict memory performance: context-specific place field remapping and coordinated neural activity prior to memory recall (freezing).
