AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
Background: Track cyclists must develop mental, physical, tactical and technical capabilities to achieve success at an elite level. Given the importance of these components in determining performance, it is of interest to understand the volume of evidence to support implementation in practice by coaches, practitioners, and athletes.
Objective: The aim of this study was to conduct a systematic mapping review to describe the current scale and density of research for testing, training and optimising performance in track cycling.
Methods: All publications involving track cyclist participants were reviewed from four databases (PubMed, SPORTDiscus, Academic Search Complete, Cochrane Library) plus additional sources. Search results returned 4019 records, of which 71 met the inclusion criteria for the review.
Results: The review revealed most published track cycling research investigated athlete testing followed by performance optimisation, with training being the least addressed domain. Research on the physical components of track cycling has been published far more frequently than for tactical or technical components, and only one study was published on the mental components of track cycling. No true experimental research using track cyclists has been published, with 51 non-experimental and 20 quasi-experimental study designs.
Conclusions: Research in track cycling has been growing steadily. However, it is evident there is a clear preference toward understanding the physical-rather than mental, tactical, or technical-demands of track cycling. Future research should investigate how this aligns with coach, practitioner, and athlete needs for achieving track cycling success.
Registration: This systematic mapping review was registered on the Open Science Framework (osf.io/wt7eq).

The lifecycle and evolution of new regimens on the National Comprehensive Cancer Network Guidelines for newly diagnosed multiple myeloma.

Introduction: Prior studies have evaluated the level of evidence behind treatment options listed in the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines, but no study has categorized the life cycle of regimens listed in the NCCN guidelines. We longitudinally assessed the life cycle for each regimen for newly diagnosed multiple myeloma. We track the date of first clinical data, the date of regimen addition to NCCN guidelines, the date phase 3 data (if performed) were reported, and the results of phase 3 trials.

School of Computer Science, Cardiff University, Cardiff, United Kingdom.
Background: People with premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) experience a range of symptoms that increase and decline as a result of the natural hormonal fluctuations of the menstrual cycle. For the diagnosis of PMDD, symptom severity needs to be recorded daily for at least two symptomatic cycles. In recent years, the rise in interest in Femtech (tools and technology developed to address women's health issues) has resulted in a large quantity of "period-tracking apps" being developed and downloaded.

From the University of Aarhus, Institute for Clinical Medicine, Aarhus, Denmark.
Objective: The aim of the study was to explore the correlation between short luteal phases and cycle irregularity in perimenopausal women.
Methods: In this feasibility pilot study, daily salivary-progesterone measurements from presumed perimenopausal women have been analyzed using the inne minilab-an at-home system for ovulation and cycle tracking. Data were collected between 2020 to August 2022 from 29 women from Germany and Austria from users over the age of 42 years.
Cardiac performance mirrors the passive thermal tolerance range in the oyster, Ostrea edulis.

Increasing frequencies of heatwaves threaten marine ectotherm species but not all alike. In exposed habitats, some species rely on a higher capacity for passive tolerance at higher temperatures, thereby extending time-dependent survival limits. Here we assess how the involvement of the cardiovascular system in extended tolerance at the margins of the thermal performance curve is dependent on warming rate.

Migratory animals rely on multiple sites during their annual cycles. Deteriorating conditions at any site can have population-level consequences, with long-distance migrants seen as especially susceptible to such changes. Reduced adult survival caused by persecution at non-breeding sites has been suggested a major reason for the catastrophic decline of a formerly abundant, long-distance migratory songbird, the Yellow-breasted Bunting Emberiza aureola.
