Article Abstract
It is known that anthropometric data (weight, height, BMI, waist circumference and WHtR) and male gender are positively correlated with greater core strength, while age is negatively correlated. For competitive athletes with no significant differences in the anthropometric data stated above, there have hardly been any studies in which isometric core strength in a seated position is quantitatively compared among athletes in different sports. This study aimed to analyse different sports in well-trained athletes using military competitive sports as an example with regard to possible differences in core strength. For this purpose, Parachuting (n=28), Military Pentathlon (n=34) and Ski Platoon (n=38) groups were compared with regard to isokinetic core strength using dynamometry in seated position. In addition to the comparison of anthropometry and isokinetic results with descriptive statistics, ANOVA and Welch-ANOVA were used to compare the means of absolute and weight-adjusted core strength. It was shown that the Ski Platoon group had significantly higher flexion peak torque values than the Military Pentathlon and Parachuting groups. Even when adjusted for weight, the values were significantly higher than those measured in the Military Pentathlon group but not significantly higher than those in the Parachuting group. For extension peak torque, it was found that the Military Pentathlon group had significantly lower values than the Ski Platoon group and, in the weight-adjusted analysis, significantly lower values than the Parachuters. Using the example of competitive military sports, this study was able to show that there are significant differences in isokinetic core strength even among professional competitive athletes.This knowledge should be used to carry out detailed quantitative analyses of core strength, even in well-trained professional athletes, to find applications for prevention or to coordinate compensating exercises.

Background: Burn survivors report limited resources as they transition to their communities after initial hospitalization. The aim of this project is to review literature that identifies resources provided to burn survivors and their supporters after discharge to their communities.
Methods: The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines were used to examine the following literature databases: PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, PsycInfo, and CINAHL.

Defence has a significant interest in the use of artificial intelligence (AI)-based technologies to address some of the challenges it faces. At the core of future military advantage will be the effective integration of humans and AI into human-machine teams (HMT) that leverages the capabilities of people and technologies to outperform adversaries. Realising the full potential of these technologies will depend on understanding the relative strengths of humans and machines, and how we design effective integration to optimise performance and resilience across all use cases and environments.

Dysregulated miRNA expression contributes to development of arsenic-induced cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC). hsa-miR-186 (miR-186) is overexpressed in arsenical cSCC tissues as well as in preclinical cell line model of arsenical cSCC. Simultaneous miR-186 overexpression and chronic inorganic trivalent arsenite (iAs; 100 nM) exposure transformed human HaCaT cell line preferentially over miR-186 overexpression or iAs exposure alone.

In the circulatory system, the microenvironment surrounding cancer cells is complex and involves multiple coupled factors. We selected two core physical factors, shear stress and hydraulic resistance, and constructed a microfluidic device with dual negative inputs to study the trade-off movement behavior of cancer cells when facing coupled factors. We detected significant shear stress escape phenomena in the MDA-MB-231 cell line and qualitatively explained this behavior using a cellular force model.

Background: Family caregivers of those with developmental disabilities have higher rates of depression and anxiety compared with caregivers of those without development disability. Few studies have examined factors that contribute to caregiver depression, including the appraisal of caregiving responsibilities and the physical fitness and daily function of the care recipient. The purpose of this study was to identify intrapersonal (caregiver) and interpersonal (care recipient) factors associated with depressive symptoms in caregivers of adults with Down syndrome (DS).
