Conventional tobacco use causes a wealth of diseases and adversely affects cells and organ systems across the body. The long-term effects of e-cigarette vaping on the same remain unclear. Identifying early pathogenic signals at the organ level via animal models may shed light on potential downstream effects in humans. Here we investigate transcriptomic changes in the kidney and liver, organs known to be damaged by long-term co...

The sabre‐toothed blennies (tribe Nemophini) are renowned for vivid colouration and several evolutionary adaptations, including a venom that resembles opioids in both chemistry and function. The genus Plagiotremus contains 11 species distributed across the Indo‐Pacific and Red Sea, including two nominal species endemic to Hawai'i. Here, we use mitochondrial COI and cytb in addition to select morphological characters to examine...

Purpose Running-related lower extremity injuries are common and often linked to modifiable biomechanical factors. Gait retraining (GR) using real-time feedback (RTF) has emerged as a potential intervention to alter running biomechanics and reduce pain, but the clinical effectiveness in injured runners has not been determined. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of GR with RTF on lower extremity pain and...
