Article Abstract
Optical excitation leads to ultrafast stress generation in the prototypical multiferroic BiFeO. The time scales of stress generation are set by the dynamics of the population of excited electronic states and the coupling of the electronic configuration to the structure. X-ray free-electron laser diffraction reveals high-wavevector subpicosecond-time scale stress generation following ultraviolet excitation of a BiFeO thin film. Stress generation includes a fast component with a 1/e rise time with an upper limit of 300 fs and longer-rise time components extending to 1.5 ps. The contributions of the fast and delayed components vary as a function of optical fluence, with a reduced a fast-component contribution at high fluence. The results provide insight into stress-generation mechanisms linked to the population of excited electrons and point to new directions in the application of nanoscale multiferroics and related ferroic complex oxides. The fast component of the stress indicates that structural parameters and properties of ferroelectric thin film materials can be optically modulated with 3 dB bandwidths of at least 0.5 THz.

Hydrogen sulfide in plant cold stress: functions, mechanisms, and challenge.
Plant Mol Biol

College of Agriculture, Guangxi University, Nanning, 530004, China.
Cold stress is an environmental factor that seriously restricts the growth, production and survival of plants, and has received extensive attention in recent years. Hydrogen sulfide (HS) is an ubiquitous gas signaling molecule, and its role in alleviating plant cold stress has become a research focus in recent years. This paper reviews for the first time the significant effect of HS on improving plant cold resistance, which makes up for the gaps in the existing literature.

Background: Bipartite medial cuneiform bone (BMC) is located at the Lisfranc joint of the midfoot, and it represents a rare variant involving two separate ossification centers in the medial cuneiform bone. Although BMC is typically asymptomatic, it can become clinically relevant under conditions of trauma or chronic stress, affecting foot stability.
Case Report: The current imaging report describes a 48-year-old female presenting with chronic dorsal midfoot pain, worsened by extended standing and ambulation.
Novel antibiotic resistance profiles in bacteria isolated from oil fly larvae Helaeomyia petrolei living in the La Brea Tar Pits.

Larvae from the petroleum oil fly, Helaeomyia petrolei, live in the asphaltene and polyaromatic hydrocarbon rich asphalt seeps of Rancho La Brea, Los Angeles, California. These larvae pass high amounts of viscous asphalt through their digestive system, and their gut microbiota is exposed to these extreme conditions. Environmental stress response mechanisms can co-select for antibiotic resistance, and in the current study we used 16S rRNA and genomic sequencing along with the Comprehensive Antibiotic Resistance Database (CARD) tools to characterize antibiotic resistance profiles from six bacteria previously isolated from the oil fly larval intestinal tract, linking phenotypic and genotypic resistance profiles.

Excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated by ultraviolet (UV) irradiation significantly contribute to photoaging by increasing the level of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), accelerating collagen degradation. Commercial dermal fillers offer temporary wrinkle reduction via volume enhancement. In this study, we propose tilapia-derived collagen hydrogels embedded with ceria nanoparticles (Ce@Col gels) as long-lasting dermal fillers for UVB-induced photoaging.

Objective: The objective of this cross-sectional study was to compare the physical activity level between individuals with and without rotator cuff related shoulder pain (RCRSP), and, in individuals with RCRSP, investigate whether biopsychosocial factors are associated with the physical activity level.
Methods: Seventy-four participants with and 84 participants without RCRSP wore a fitness tracking watch for seven consecutive days to assess physical activity (step count, moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA)-minutes). Additionally, participants with RCRSP completed questionnaires on their level of pain, disability, and physical activity (short version of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire [IPAQ]), as well as on biopsychosocial factors, including resilience, stress, catastrophizing, anxiety and depressive symptoms, self-efficacy, and social support.
