Pain responses following resistance exercise with and without blood flow restriction in individuals with multiple sclerosisNARA Subscribed
Purpose Pain is a common symptom among individuals living with multiple sclerosis (MS). Exercise-induced hypoalgesia (EIH), a reduction in pain sensitivity following resistance exercise, typically requires high loads. Blood flow restriction (BFR) training may offer a lower-load alternative to elicit EIH. This investigation aimed to assess EIH responses following resistance exercise with and without BFR in individuals with MS....
Beyond strength: dietary nitrate augments self-selected functional mobility after resistance training in middle-aged adultsNARA Subscribed
This study aimed to assess whether dietary nitrate supplementation with resistance training (RT) augments gait performance and functional mobility in inactive middle-aged and older adults. We hypothesized that combining nitrate-rich beetroot juice (BRJ) with RT would yield improvements in gait and functional mobility compared to RT with nitrate-depleted beetroot juice placebo (PLA) supplementation. In this 12-week, randomized,...
Priorities, concerns, and potential compromises amongst urban forest stakeholders: international lessons from Aotearoa New ZealandNARA Subscribed
Urban forests provide numerous benefits including habitat for wildlife, improving human health, purifying air and water, and preventing and mitigating the effects of climate change. The need to protect and improve our urban forests will only increase as populations increase and cities densify and expand over time. However, urban forest establishment and maintenance is challenging due to a lack of effective policies, delays, la...
The odds and costs of ambulance attendances associated with heatwave severity in older adults of queensland, AustraliaNARA Subscribed
Ambulance attendances have been increasingly reported to be a sensitive indicator of increased health service utilisations during heatwaves. This study estimated the odds and costs of ambulance attendances associated with heatwave severity (low-intensity, severe, and extreme) in older adults (≥ 65 years) from 1st January 2010 to 31st December 2018 in the State of Queensland, Australia. The findings showed that low-intensity, s...
Integration of crop modeling and sensing into molecular breeding for nutritional quality and stress toleranceNARA Subscribed
Integrating innovative technologies into plant breeding is critical to bolster food and nutritional security under biotic and abiotic stresses in changing climates. While breeding efforts have focused primarily on yield and stress tolerance, emerging evidence highlights the need to also prioritize nutritional quality. Advanced molecular breeding approaches have enhanced our ability to develop improved crop varieties and could...
Global fire regime change is threatening terrestrial biodiversity. Understanding how these changes affect biota is essential to protect biodiversity now and into the future. A targeted examination of the mechanisms through which fire influences populations will help achieve this by enabling comparisons and connections across taxa. Here, we develop a cross‐taxa framework that identifies mechanisms through which fire regimes inf...
Voxel-wise insights into early Alzheimer’s disease pathology progression: the association with APOE and memory declineNARA Subscribed
Longitudinal investigation of the Apolipoprotein E (APOE) genotype’s impact on Alzheimer’s disease (AD) biomarker progression, focusing on amyloid beta (Aβ) accumulation and gray matter (GM) atrophy, integrating cognitive decline and baseline levels. Longitudinal florbetapir-PET and T1-weighted MRI data from 100 cognitively normal (CN) and mild cognitive impaired (MCI) participants both with considerable global Aβ accumulation...
