Introduction: This study aimed to analyse the differences between pressure training and official competition matches in high-level male padel players from Finland, focusing on the proportion of points won by serving and returning players, the frequency of break points and golden points, and the effectiveness of the last shot.

Methods: A total of 4,417 points from 38 matches played during the 2022 and 2023 seasons were analyzed.

Results: The results revealed no significant association between match type (pressure training vs. competition) and the distribution of winners, forced errors, or unforced errors ( = 0.867). Similarly, the frequency of break points, non-break points, golden points, and non-golden points remained consistent across both match types, regardless of the service situation (serving or returning players). While a relationship was observed between shot type and match type in forced errors ( = 0.024), the overall shot effectiveness remained comparable across different shot types.

Discussion: In conclusion, this study suggests that high-level male padel players display comparable technical-tactical performance in pressure training and official competition matches.

Background: Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) initiates secondary injuries that worsen neurological damage and hinder recovery. While peripheral immune responses play a key role in stroke outcomes, clinical results from immunotherapy have been suboptimal, with limited focus on T-cell dynamics. Umbilical mesenchymal stem cells (UMSCs) offer therapeutic potential due to their immunomodulatory properties.

Background: Testes development is a fundamental process in sexual development and reproduction. The testes undergo dramatic structural changes during development, including the proliferation and differentiation of somatic cells such as Sertoli cells, Leydig cells, and myoid cells, as well as the maturation of spermatogonia. However, little is known about the onset of spermatogenesis and cell proliferation and maturation in the spermatogonial niche in large animals.
