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....
Enhancing the efficacy of VEGF inhibitors by co-inhibition of HIF in the treatment of glioblastomaNARA Subscribed
Glioblastoma is the most aggressive and most common grade 4 tumor of the central nervous system (CNS). Despite standard treatments such as surgical resection and chemoradiotherapy, overall survival (OS) usually does not exceed 14–16 months in clinical trials, and no improvement in OS has been demonstrated even with the use of vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA) inhibitors such as bevacizumab. In response to radiothera...
Bonefish Albula spp. in the Western Atlantic have historically been morphometrically and phenotypically indiscernible. We used biofluorescence in two sympatric, cryptic bonefish species, Albula goreensis and Albula vulpes , to develop a rapid and inexpensive in situ survey for species identification that can be used by managers and recreational anglers. Under ultraviolet (379–387 nm) and royal blue (440–457 nm) lights, the two...
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...
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...
Quantifying the Nutritional and Socio‐Ecological Dimensions of Indian Ocean FisheriesNARA Subscribed
Seafood from marine fisheries, such as finfishes and invertebrates, is an important source of nutrients for billions of people globally. Seafood species vary in their micronutrient concentration, their economic value, and their vulnerability to exploitation and climate change. However, fisheries management has rarely considered the nutritional quality of fisheries catches and their relation to economic, conservation and climat...
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...
SNAPSHOT USA 2019–2023: The First Five Years of Data From a Coordinated Camera Trap Survey of the United StatesNARA Subscribed
Motivation SNAPSHOT USA is an annual, multicontributor camera trap survey of mammals across the United States. The growing SNAPSHOT USA dataset is intended for tracking the spatial and temporal responses of mammal populations to changes in land use, land cover and climate. These data will be useful for exploring the drivers of spatial and temporal changes in relative abundance and distribution, as well as the impacts of specie...
Complementary value of molecular, phenotypic, and functional aging biomarkers in dementia predictionNARA Subscribed
DNA methylation age (MA), brain age (BA), and frailty index (FI) are putative aging biomarkers linked to dementia risk. We investigated their relationship and combined potential for prediction of cognitive impairment and future dementia risk using the ADNI database. Of several MA algorithms, DunedinPACE and GrimAge2, associated with memory, were combined in a composite MA alongside BA and a data-driven FI in predictive analyse...
Language matters in shaping perceptions and guiding behaviour. The term stakeholder is widely used, yet little attention is paid to the possibility that its use may inadvertently perpetuate colonial narratives and reinforce systemic inequities. In this article, we critically examine the limitations of the stakeholder concept and its ambiguity, normativity, and exclusionary implications. We emphasise the importance of using lan...
