Considering risk associated with leisure time physical activity (LTPA) at craft breweries: overlooking dangers in the name of fun by Alana N Seaman, Lindsey Schroeder, Madison Peace, Michele Abee, Laura Morris

“…Together the findings suggest the affect heuristic of risk perception may be influencing stakeholders where risk is being overlooked and minimised in the name of fun. Such attitudes contrast sharply with the views of experts, implying the existence of a knowledge deficit about risk in these settings among hosts and patrons alike; a deficit that should be addressed with more explicit information and clarity about hazards, potential for accidents and liability associated with LTPA at breweries.…”

Walking the line of the double bind: A cross-country comparison on women and men politicians’ self-presentations on social media by Magin Melanie, Haßler Jörg, Larsson Anders Olof, Skogerbø Eli

“…This comparative study contributes to remedying this research gap by content analysing the official Facebook and Instagram pages of 18 political leaders during the 2021 national election campaigns in Germany and Norway. In contrast to earlier research on gendered presentations of politicians in the news, we did not find strong evidence of gendered self-presentations in either country, neither in terms of personalisation nor in terms of gender issue ownership. …”

Surgery impairs glymphatic activity and cognitive function in aged mice by Kai Chen, Xingyu Du, Melissa A. Chao, Zhongcong Xie, Guang Yang

“…In adult mice, CSF tracer entry into the brain parenchyma along periarteriolar spaces occurred rapidly following intracisternal tracer injection, with no significant differences between sham and surgery groups. In contrast, aged mice exhibited delayed tracer influx, with further impairments observed in the surgery group compared to sham controls. …”

Analysis of Gene Expression in Human Dermal Fibroblasts Treated with Senescence-Modulating COX Inhibitors by Jeong A. Han, Jong-Il Kim

“…We have previously reported that NS-398, a cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2)–selective inhibitor, inhibited replicative cellular senescence in human dermal fibroblasts and skin aging in hairless mice. In contrast, celecoxib, another COX-2–selective inhibitor, and aspirin, a non-selective COX inhibitor, accelerated the senescence and aging. …”

The TNF Receptors p55 and p75 Mediate Chemotaxis of PMN Induced by TNFα and a TNFα 36–62 Peptide by Ø. Rekdal, Z. Konopski, J. S. Svendsen, J.-O. Winberg, T. Espevik, B. Østerud

“…The chemotactic activity of the TNFα 36–62 peptide on PMN, was inhibited by Htr-7b, Utr-1 and soluble p55 receptor, which shows that the peptide possessed the ability to induce chemotaxis through the TNF receptors. In contrast to TNFα, the peptide did not show a cytotoxic activity against WEHI 164 flbrosarcoma cells. …”
