A quantitative comparison of tools for monitoring the abundance of crown-of-thorns starfish and coral coverNARA Subscribed
Effective monitoring of crown-of-thorns starfish (COTS) populations and coral cover is critical for informing management of COTS outbreaks throughout their tropical Indo-Pacific range, including Australia’s Great Barrier Reef. However, existing monitoring tools such as manta tow and cull diver surveys have well-known limitations including accuracy and resource demands. This study evaluates a range of monitoring tools for asses...
Purpose Many abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) patients develop intraluminal thrombus (ILT), but the role of ILT in AAA progression and rupture is poorly understood. Methods To evaluate ILT in AAAs, we induced AAAs in C57Bl6/J mice via surgical application of topical elastase to the abdominal aorta below the renal arteries and administration of β-aminopropionitrile (BAPN) in drinking water. Ultrasound images of these AAAs were c...
Effects of verification stage intensity and duration on $$\dot{V}O_{{2\max }}$$ determinationNARA Subscribed
Purpose Verification stages are recommended for maximal oxygen consumption (V̇O ₂max ) determination, but there is currently no standardization of verification stage design. We sought to determine if the length of recovery and the initial intensity of subsequent exercise influence the effectiveness of verification stages during testing for V̇O ₂max . Methods Twenty-seven participants (20 males, 7 females) completed four graded...
Peripheral microRNA signature in genetic frontotemporal dementia—findings from the GENFI initiativeNARA Subscribed
Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by significant clinical and genetic heterogeneity, with approximately 40% of cases linked to hereditary genetic mutations, including MAPT , GRN , and C9ORF72 . Recently, microRNAs (miRNAs) have emerged as key regulators of cellular processes related to neurodegeneration and as potential biomarkers for FTD. However, their relevance in presymptomatic stag...
Ti solubility in biotite at low pressure in metapelitic systems: the Torres del Paine caseNARA Subscribed
The Torres del Paine Intrusive Complex (TPIC) is a shallowly emplaced pluton surrounded by a well-defined contact aureole, providing an ideal setting to test Ti-in-biotite thermometry. We compare existing Ti-in-biotite thermometers with phase petrology constraints and found that they systematically overestimate peak metamorphic temperatures. This discrepancy arises from a significant increase in Ti solubility at low pressures...
Understanding how physical transport mechanisms influence coral reef temperature dynamics is crucial for effective management. Typically, sea surface temperature (SST) is used to estimate coral heat stress, yet subsurface physical processes can significantly influence reef temperature dynamics and are imperative to consider in predictive efforts. Using observations and a 3D numerical model, we conducted a volume‐based temperat...
Speech Treatment for People with Cerebellar Multiple System Atrophy (MSA-C): A Pilot Randomised Controlled Trial of Two ApproachesNARA Subscribed
Speech problems are an early feature of Multiple System Atrophy (MSA). They can lead to social withdrawal and have significant impact on people’s quality of life. There is a considerable lack of clinical trials and clinicians lack guidance on how best to support this population. This project aimed to establish the feasibility and acceptability of a novel treatment approach, ClearSpeechTogether, in patients with the cerebellar...
Association mapping of haploid male fertility in sweet cornNARA Subscribed
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...
