Purpose: This study examined the repeated bout effect of two resistance training bouts on cycling efficiency and performance.
Methods: Ten male resistance-untrained cyclists (age 38 ± 13 years; height 180.4 ± 7.0 cm; weight 80.1 ± 10.1; kg; VO 51.0 ± 7.6 ml.kg.min) undertook two resistance training bouts at six-repetition maximum. Blood creatine kinase (CK), delayed-onset of muscle soreness (DOMS), counter-movement jump (CMJ), squat jump (SJ), submaximal cycling and time-trial performance were examined prior to (Tbase), 24 (T24) and 48 (T48) h post each resistance training bout.
Results: There were significantly lower values for DOMS (p = 0.027) after Bout 2 than Bout 1. No differences were found between bouts for CK, CMJ, SJ and submaximal cycling performance. However, jump height (CMJ and SJ) submaximal cycling measures (ventilation and perceived exertion) were impaired at T24 and T48 compared to Tbase (p < 0.05). Net efficiency during submaximal cycling improved at Bout 2 (23.8 ± 1.2) than Bout 1 (24.3 ± 1.0%). There were no changes in cycling time-trial performance, although segmental differences in cadence were observed between bouts and time (i.e. Tbase vs T24 vs T48; p < 0.05).
Conclusion: Cyclists improved their cycling efficiency from Bout 1 to Bout 2 possibly due to the repeated bout effect. However, cyclists maintained their cycling completion times during exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD) in both resistance training bouts, possibly by altering their cycling strategies. Thus, cyclists should consider EIMD symptomatology after resistance training bouts, particularly for cycling-specific technical sessions, regardless of the repeated bout effect.

Therapeutic and prophylactic use of antifungals is rising continuously. However, lack of awareness of diagnostic and treatment guidelines and limited laboratory modalities are leading to inappropriate use. This study assessed the impact of an institutional antifungal stewardship program on antifungal use practices and patient outcome.

Laccases are of particular interest in addressing environmental challenges, such as the degradation of triphenylmethane (TPM) dyes, including crystal violet (CV) and Coomassie Brilliant Blue (CBB), which are commonly used in SDS-PAGE for protein visualization. However, these dyes present significant environmental concerns due to their resistance to degradation, which makes their removal from industrial wastewater a major challenge. To address this, the current study investigates the potential of a novel CotA laccase derived from Bacillus sp.

For the last decade, matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) has been the reference method for species identification in clinical microbiology. Hampered by a historical lack of open data, machine learning research towards models specifically adapted to MALDI-TOF MS remains in its infancy. Given the growing complexity of available datasets (such as large-scale antimicrobial resistance prediction), a need for models that (1) are specifically designed for MALDI-TOF MS data, and (2) have high representational capacity, presents itself.
