Introduction: Changes to sperm quality and decline in reproductive function have been reported in COVID-19-recovered males. Further, the emergence of SARS-CoV-2 variants has caused the resurgences of COVID-19 cases globally during the last 2 years. These variants show increased infectivity and transmission along with immune escape mechanisms, which...

The physical and psychological load of small-sided games (SSGs) can affect players’ neuromuscular and cognitive functions. Yet, little is known about the acute performance changes after such a specific exercise in young soccer players and their association with exercise load applied. This study investigates i) the neuromuscular and perceptual-cogni...

Post-translational modifications refer to the chemical alterations of proteins following their biosynthesis, leading to changes in protein properties. These modifications, which encompass acetylation, phosphorylation, methylation, SUMOylation, ubiquitination, and others, are pivotal in a myriad of cellular functions. Macroautophagy, also known as a...

Relaxometry is a field with a glorious and controversial history, and no review will ever do it justice. It is full of egos and inventions, patents and lawsuits, high expectations and deep disillusionments. Rather than a paragraph dedicated to each of these, we want to give it an impressionistic overview, painted over with a coat of personal opinio...

Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD) plays a central role in the master circadian clock of the brain (the suprachiasmatic nuclei, SCN) as demonstrated in many model organisms. NAD acts as an enzyme co-factor and substrate and its modulation was found to be tightly regulated to the periodicity of the cycles. However, in human brain, the effect of...

Heavy metals are among the most ubiquitous environmental pollutants of recent decades. Copper is commonly used to control algal blooms or macrophyte and waste infestations, its ambient concentration has increased significantly, indicating possible environmental risk. To investigate the effects of copper exposure on bioaccumulation, antioxidant defe...

Background: Prior research suggests that autonomic modulation investigated by heart rate variability (HRV) might act as a novel predictive biomarker for cancer prognosis, such as in breast cancer and pancreatic cancer. It is not clear whether there is a correlation between autonomic modulation and prognosis in patients with extensive-stage small ce...

Hemorrhage is a leading cause of death in trauma. Tourniquets are effective at controlling extremity hemorrhage and have saved lives. However, tourniquets can cause ischemia reperfusion injury of limbs, leading to systemic inflammation and other adverse effects, which results in secondary damage to the kidney, lung, and liver. A clinically relevant...
