Scapular kinematics variability in individuals with and without rotator cuff-related shoulder pain: A systematic review with multilevel meta-regression
Brazilian Journal of Physical Therapy
A moving shoulder blade does not have one simple pattern that separates a healthy shoulder from a painful one. Researchers combined evidence from 20 studies using three-dimensional measurements during arm elevation. They examined people with and…

Scientific Opinion on the re‐evaluation of aspartame (E 951) as a food additive
EFSA Journal
Aspartame safety depends on exposure, not simply on whether the ingredient is present. In its 2013 assessment, the panel retained an acceptable daily intake of 40 milligrams per kilogram of body weight. This represents a lifetime…

Scientific Opinion on the substantiation of health claims related to carbohydrate-electrolyte solutions and reduction in rated perceived exertion/effort during exercise, enhancement of water absorption during exercise, and maintenance of endurance performance pursuant to Article 13(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006
EFSA Journal
A drink can support endurance without making exercise feel easier. That distinction matters when judging carbohydrate-electrolyte solutions, drinks containing carbohydrate and dissolved minerals. The panel assessed separate claims about perceived effort, water absorption, and endurance performance.…

Self-monitoring in weight loss: a systematic review of the literature
Journal of the American Dietetic Association
Keeping a record can make eating, activity or weight changes easier to notice, but how much does recording itself contribute to weight loss? The authors examined 22 studies of self-monitoring within behavioral weight-management research. More consistent…

Sequence of Immunological Events During IgE-Mediated Allergic Reactions to Food
Allergy
Why can reactions to the same food differ in timing and severity? In IgE-mediated food allergy, an allergen can connect antibodies already attached to mast cells and basophils, prompting these immune cells to release substances that…

Serum osmolality and hyperosmolar states
Pediatric Nephrology
A blood test can count dissolved particles without fully revealing how those particles affect cells. Osmolality measures their total concentration. Tonicity describes whether they draw water across cell membranes. Sodium, glucose, and other substances contribute differently…

Shaping the intestinal brush border
Journal of Cell Biology
Why does the arrangement of an intestinal cell's surface matter for absorption? Tiny projections called microvilli form its brush border, giving the cell more membrane through which to interact with intestinal contents. Measurements discussed here estimate…

Short chain fatty acids in human large intestine, portal, hepatic and venous blood.
Gut
What happens to the substances made when gut bacteria break down food? Short-chain fatty acids are small compounds produced during this fermentation. Researchers examined intestinal contents and blood from six people after sudden death. Average total…

Short-Term Precision Error of Body Composition Assessment Methods in Resistance-Trained Male Athletes
International Journal of Sport Nutrition and Exercise Metabolism
How small a change in body fat can a test reliably detect? Researchers assessed 32 resistance-trained male athletes, averaging 31 years old, across three testing sessions on two days. They compared four body-composition methods and calculated…

Short-chain fatty acids
Nature Metabolism
Molecules made by gut microbes can act as messages as well as fuel. Short-chain fatty acids, principally acetate, propionate, and butyrate, form when microbes ferment carbohydrates that escape digestion. The authors describe how these molecules can…

Single Versus Multiple Sets of Resistance Exercise: A Meta-Regression
Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research
Doing more than one set may matter when the goal is getting stronger. Researchers combined 14 studies comparing single and multiple sets while keeping other training variables constant within each study. Two to three sets per…

Skeletal muscle energy metabolism during exercise
Nature Metabolism
The fuel your muscles rely on changes with what you ask them to do. Muscle contraction uses ATP, an immediately usable energy molecule that must be continually remade. Several pathways help replenish it, with their contributions…
