Patients with overt cerebral ischemia are at risk for adverse events after hospital discharge. Sphingosine-1-phosphate is a potent lipid mediator produced and secreted by platelets, which is inhibited via acetylsalicylic acid (ASA). The associations of sphingosine-1-phosphate with biomarkers of platelet activation, i.e., thromboxane B 2 and soluble P-selectin, as well as with clinical outcome in ischemic stroke or transient is...
Marine megafauna species are affected by a wide range of anthropogenic threats. To evaluate the risk of such threats, species’ vulnerability to each threat must first be determined. We build on the existing threats classification scheme and ranking system of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species by assessing the vulnerability of 256 marine megafauna species to 23 at‐sea threat...
Evidence at play: evidence-based practices and barriers in biological maturation assessment among German football academiesNARA Subscribed
Purpose This study examined the extent to which German male football academies adopt evidence-based practices (EBP) and their impact on the execution of biological maturation assessments. It also explored perceived barriers to implementing these assessments. Methods With a 71.4% completion rate, 40 support staff members from German male football academies completed an online survey. The survey included questions on clubs’ beli...
Nutritional support in professional German football clubs and youth academies—a descriptive studyNARA Subscribed
Proper nutrition is considered important for the maintenance of health and performance in football players. The more demanding the match and training schedule, the higher the requirements for nutritional advice are. Still, the amount and level of nutritional support is unknown in many (semi-)professional settings. Therefore, the goal of this study was to provide an overview of nutrition practices in clubs of the highest German...
Independent Genetic Mapping Experiments Identify Diverse Molecular Determinants of Host Adaptation in a Generalist HerbivoreNARA Subscribed
Interactions between plants and herbivores promote evolutionary change. Studying the evolution of herbivore mechanisms aimed to cope with different host plant species is a critical intersection between evolutionary biology and sustainable pest management. Generalist herbivores are of particular interest, as hybridization between genetically distinct populations can increase the standing genetic variation and therefore the adap...
A species' success during the invasion of new areas hinges on an interplay between the demographic processes common to invasions and the specific ecological context of the novel environment. Evolutionary genetic studies of invasive species can investigate how genetic bottlenecks and ecological conditions shape genetic variation in invasions, and our study pairs two invasive populations that are hypothesized to be from the same...
Side differences and reproducibility of the Moxy muscle oximeter during cycling in trained menNARA Subscribed
Purpose Portable near-infrared spectroscopy devices allow measurements of muscle oxygen saturation (SmO 2 ) in real time and non-invasively. To use NIRS for typical applications including intensity control and load monitoring, the day-to-day variability needs to be known to interpret changes confidently. This study investigates the absolute and relative test–retest reliability of the Moxy Monitor and investigates side differen...
Provenance of Oligocene–Miocene sedimentary rocks in the Cuu Long and Nam Con Son basins, Vietnam and early history of the Mekong RiverNARA Subscribed
The offshore Cuu Long (CLB) and Nam Con Son (NCSB) basins of SE Vietnam are two important Cenozoic hydrocarbon-bearing basins in the southern South China Sea (SCS), which can contribute to understanding the evolution of major SE Asian river systems, in particular the Mekong River. The Oligocene to Early Miocene basin fill of the Cuu Long Basin is dominated by sediment sourced locally from the Da Lat Zone basement on land. Sand...
Prolonging survival in good health is a fundamental societal goal. However, the leading determinants of disability-free survival in healthy older people have not been well established. Data from ASPREE, a bi-national placebo-controlled trial of aspirin with 4.7 years median follow-up, was analysed. At enrolment, participants were healthy and without prior cardiovascular events, dementia or persistent physical disability. Disab...
Bridge to the future: Important lessons from 20 years of ecosystem observations made by the OzFlux networkNARA Subscribed
In 2020, the Australian and New Zealand flux research and monitoring network, OzFlux, celebrated its 20 th anniversary by reflecting on the lessons learned through two decades of ecosystem studies on global change biology. OzFlux is a network not only for ecosystem researchers, but also for those ‘next users’ of the knowledge, information and data that such networks provide. Here, we focus on eight lessons across topics of cli...
Haematological and metabolic profiles associated with age and sex in giant kokopu ( Galaxias argenteus ) ( Gmelin 1789) broodstockNARA Subscribed
This study characterized selected peripheral blood (PB) haematological parameters, liver, serum and muscle metabolic features in 3‐ and 5‐year‐old male and female giant kokopu ( Galaxias argenteus ) broodstock reared indoor at 16°C. Sex and age did not affect PB total cell count and haematocrit values. Nonetheless, higher erythrocytes in 5‐year‐old fish, elevated thrombocyte and lymphocyte counts in 3‐year‐old fish indicate ag...
Effect of anticoagulants on farmed giant kokopu, Galaxias argenteus (Gmelin 1789) haematological parameters and erythrocyte fragilityNARA Subscribed
We sought to determine a compatible anticoagulant for routine haematological and physiological assessments with giant kokopu ( Galaxias argenteus ), an endemic New Zealand fish. We observed that blood treated with lithium heparin (LH) rapidly coagulated and haemolysed, making it unsuitable for G. argenteus . Dipotassium ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (K 2 EDTA) and trisodium citrate (citrate) effectively prevented blood coagu...
Long‐term development and trajectories of inferred lake‐water organic carbon and pH in naturally acidic boreal lakesNARA Subscribed
Monitoring of surface waters in the boreal region over the last decades shows that waters are becoming browner. This timeframe may not, however, be sufficient to capture underlying trajectories and driving mechanisms of lake‐water quality, important for prediction of future trajectories. Here we synthesize data from seven lakes in the Swedish boreal landscape, with contemporary lake‐water total organic carbon (TOC) concentrati...
Assessment of sleep quality and daytime sleepiness in German national ice hockey players preparing for the world championshipNARA Subscribed
Objectives Objectives were to examine subjective sleep quality and daytime sleepiness of the German ice hockey junior national team prior to the world championship to identify athletes of concern and areas of optimization with the intention of equally preventing injury and enhancing performance. Methods Twenty-one athletes ( M age = 18.5 ± 0.6 years, M height = 181.7 ± 4.3 cm, M weight = 81.4 ± 7.1 kg), playing for national (...
