The influence of altered lower-limb muscle strength on dynamic plantar pressure distribution in participants who underwent anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction by Karolína Matov, Michal Bozděch, Marta Gimunová, Martin Komzák, Marek Dostál, Miloslav Maršálek, Tomáš Vespalec, Milan Mojžíš, Tomáš Vodička

“…However, as dynamic plantar pressure parameters do not reflect quadriceps or hamstring status reliably, they cannot replace standard tests like isokinetic dynamometry. Combining plantar pressure metrics with conventional strength and functional assessments may better identify residual gait deficits and guide targeted rehabilitation to lower reinjury risk.…”

Oxidative Stress and Semen Quality Among Night- and Day-Shift Workers: A Cross-Sectional Study by Luca Boeri, Federica Passarelli, Ludovico Maria Basadonna, Edoardo Sorba, Giorgio Graps, Fabio Ciamarra, Damiano Dagnino, Valentina Parolin, Marco Nizzardo, Gianpaolo Lucignani, Emanuele Montanari

“…Night-shift work, through circadian disruption, may exacerbate oxidative imbalance and impair reproductive function. This study investigates the impact of night-shift work on oxidative stress and semen quality and evaluates the potential benefits of antioxidant supplementation in this context. …”

Nonlocal Moments and Mott Semimetal in the Chern Bands of Twisted Bilayer Graphene by Patrick J. Ledwith, Junkai Dong (董焌锴), Ashvin Vishwanath, Eslam Khalaf

“…These moments are nonlocal due to topology-enforced power-law tails, yet have parametrically small overlap. We develop a systematic diagrammatic expansion in which the self-energy can be computed exactly to leading order in s^{2} in the fluctuating moment regime and predict momentum-resolved spectral functions for future experiments to verify. …”

Kinesthetic illusions induced by muscle tendon vibration: The orientation of the vibration motor as a new methodological factor? by Lydiane Lauzier, Jacques Abboud, François Nougarou, Louis-David Beaulieu

“…Distoproximal rotation was more likely to evoke kinesthetic illusions of wrist extension (76.8%) compared to lateromedial rotation (57.7%; p = 0.009). …”

Quantification of streamflow response to climate change and human activities within upstream mountainous areas of the Daqing River Basin, Northern China by Zengyi Li, Weifan Chen, Linna Wang

“…As for the Wangkuai Reservoir watershed, a significant change point was observed around 1980, which is likely attributable to land system reforms and protective forest projects. …”

Mental fatigue of operating room nurses and its relationship with missed perioperative nursing care: a descriptive-analytical study by Vahid Rahmani, Valerie L. Marsh, Ebrahim Aliafsari Mamaghani, Ali Soleimani, Maedeh Alizadeh, Omid Zadi, Nasrin Aghazadeh

“…Abstract Introduction Mental fatigue is a psychological condition characterised by diminished alertness, impaired cognitive functioning, heightened error rates, and overall decreased performance. missed perioperative nursing care diminishes patient safety and increases the likelihood of adverse incidents. …”

Analytical coordinate time at the second post-Newtonian order by Vittorio De Falco, Marco Gallo

“…We derive the analytical expression of the coordinate time t in terms of the eccentric anomaly u at the second post-Newtonian order in General Relativity for a compact binary system moving on eccentric orbits. The parametrization of t with u permits to reduce at the minimum the presence of discontinuous trigonometric functions. …”

Collective coupling of driven multilevel atoms and its effect on four-wave mixing by P. Yanes-Thomas, R. Gutiérrez-Jáuregui, P. Barberis-Blostein, D. Sahagún-Sánchez, R. Jáuregui, A. Kunold

“…Photonic correlation functions are shown to exhibit a transition from a Lorentz-like dependence on the two-photon detuning—with general features that can be obtained in an isolated atom scheme—to a two-peaked distribution when the dipole-dipole interactions become relevant. …”
