Effects of an 8-week long-step start training programme intervention on relay performance in collegiate male swimmers: A single-arm study.

Shimojo Hirofumi H, Hoshikawa Shingo S, Yamashiro Shoichiro S, Nara Rio R et al.

We investigated the effects of an 8-week long-step (LS) relay start training programme on start kinematics, changeover time (COT), time to 5 m, lower-limb isokinetic strength, and perceived fear in 10 collegiate male swimmers. Following the training, COT significantly decreased from 0.31 ± 0.21 s to 0.05 ± 0.16 s (p = .034, g = -1.63). Time to 5 m also significantly improved from 1.17 ± 0.23 s to 0.94 ± 0.13 s (p = .031, g = -1.66). Vertical centre of mass displacement during the block phase decreased significantly from 0.34 ± 0.04 m to -0.03 ± 0.04 m (p < .001, g = -6.78). Specific isokinetic strength (front leg extension [1.16 to 1.58 Nm∙kg-1] and back leg flexion [0.55 to 1.05 Nm∙kg-1] at 300°∙s-1) increased significantly, and improvements correlated with back leg flexion strength. In conclusion, the training enabled swimmers to acquire the LS technique, resulting in elite-level COTs and faster 5 m times with a gliding technique through biomechanical and neuromuscular adaptations.     .

A circuit dissection of perception-action decoupling in S-ketamine-induced hallucination-like states.

Wang Dijia D, Xu Junnan J, Wang Zhaoran Z, Liu Zhirui Z et al.

Hallucinations are a core feature of several psychiatric disorders, but the circuit mechanisms that separate perception from behavioral output remain poorly defined. Here, we combined an auditory discrimination task with AI-based pose analysis to quantify S-ketamine-induced false auditory threat responses and behavioral disorganization in mice. Control assays, including sucrose preference, loss of righting reflex, and prepulse inhibition, indicated that these effects were not explained by anhedonia, anesthesia, or basic auditory deficits. Using in vivo fiber photometry, single-cell miniscope calcium imaging, and pathway-specific chemogenetic and optogenetic manipulations, we identified dissociable circuit contributions within convergent striatal pathways. The basolateral amygdala to caudal striatum pathway (BLA→TS) supported salience-weighted perceptual decisions and, when aberrantly recruited by S-ketamine, promoted auditory false alarms. In contrast, the medial prefrontal cortex to caudal striatum pathway (mPFC→TS) primarily shaped behavioral expression and, when dysregulated, generated disorganized action patterns. At the network level, S-ketamine shifted TS activity from a sparse, high-contrast state to a high-frequency, low-amplitude, diffusely coupled state, consistent with reduced integrative precision. Auditory cortex to TS inputs were not broadly suppressed, supporting pathway specificity. Bidirectional chemogenetic manipulation of BLA→TS and mPFC→TS pathways in drug-naive mice further supported the TS as an integrative node linking perceptual evaluation to behavioral output. Dexmedetomidine co-administration restored pathway-level temporal dynamics and reorganized TS network coupling without simply suppressing activity. Together, these findings define a circuit framework for NMDAR-antagonist-induced hallucination-like states and provide a mechanistic rationale for dexmedetomidine-mediated mitigation of S-ketamine-associated perceptual and behavioral disruption.

Curves with prescribed rational points.

Santicola Katerina K

Given a smooth curve C / Q with genus ≥ 2 , we know by Faltings' Theorem that C ( Q ) is finite. Here we ask the reverse question: given a finite set of rational points S ⊆ P n ( Q ) , does there exist a smooth projective curve C / Q contained in P n such that C ( Q ) = S ? We answer this question in the affirmative by providing an effective algorithm for constructing such a curve.

Nutlet micromorphology of Japanese Salvia (Salviinae, Lamiaceae) and its systematic significance.

Khan Amjad A, Takano Atsuko A, Lee Chung-Kun CK, Ishida Hiroaki H

Salvia is a taxonomically challenging genus in the Japanese archipelago, comprising 12 distinct species, eight of which are endemic. In this study, the nutlet micromorphology of 19 taxa (species and varieties) assigned to the sections Glutinaria, Heterosphace, Notiosphace, and Sobiso was investigated using light and scanning electron microscopy. This study aimed to evaluate the systematic significance of nutlet morphology in Japanese Salvia. Nutlet size ranged from 0.64 × 0.45 mm in S. plebeia (sect. Notiosphace) to 3.27 × 2.27 mm in S. koyamae (sect. Glutinaria). The L/W ratio varied from 1.06 in S. glabrescens var. repens (sect. Glutinaria) to 2.54 in S. pygmaea var. pygmaea (sect. Sobiso). Nutlet shapes were elliptic, narrow-elliptic, and ellipsoidal in sect. Sobiso; ovoid to obovoid and spherical in sect. Glutinaria; and ovoid in both sect. Heterosphace and sect. Notiosphace. Abscission scar morphology varied among the sections, being squarish, triangular, irregular, or orbicular in sect. Sobiso; irregular to orbicular in sect. Glutinaria; orbicular in sect. Heterosphace; and triangular in sect. Notiosphace. Four major types of surface sculpturing were recognized: colliculate with irregular surface cells in sect. Glutinaria; reticulate with pentagonal to hexagonal cells in sect. Sobiso; tuberculate with large rounded knobs in sect. Heterosphace; and verrucate with small wart-like projections in sect. Notiosphace. Principal component analysis (PCA) based on taxon means demonstrated that nutlet size-related characters contributed most strongly to the observed variation among the studied taxa. Overall, the diversity of nutlet morphology highlights the diagnostic value of these characters for taxonomic identification at both the species and sectional levels within Japanese Salvia.

Diagnostic Performance of Diffusion-Weighted MRI and ADC Values in Differentiating Atypical Leiomyomas from Uterine Sarcomas.

Rizescu Ramona-Andreea RA, Salcianu Iulia Alecsandra IA, Ionescu Alexandre A, Iana Gheorghe G et al.

Leiomyomas are the most common benign uterine tumors, whereas uterine sarcomas are rare malignant neoplasms associated with high morbidity and mortality. Differentiation using imaging remains challenging because of overlapping radiologic features. To evaluate magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) characteristics of atypical leiomyomas and uterine sarcomas, with emphasis on diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values. In this retrospective study, 22 patients with histopathologically confirmed uterine leiomyoma or sarcoma underwent MRI for atypical or suspicious uterine lesions. MRI assessment included T2-weighted imaging, DWI with ADC maps, and fat-suppressed T1-weighted sequences before and after gadolinium administration. Thirteen atypical leiomyomas (59%) and nine sarcomas (41%) were analyzed. Mean patient age was similar between groups. Abnormal vaginal bleeding was more frequent in sarcomas (89% vs. 38%). Sarcomas more commonly showed irregular margins (89% vs. 69%) and T2 hyperintensity (89% vs. 15%). Heterogeneous enhancement and cystic or hemorrhagic changes occurred in both tumor types, while extrauterine disease was observed only in sarcomas. All sarcomas demonstrated high DWI signal intensity exceeding that of the endometrium, whereas most leiomyomas showed intermediate signal intensity. Mean ADC values were significantly lower in sarcomas (0.813 × 10⁻³mm²/s) than in leiomyomas (1.050 × 10⁻³ mm²/s), with an optimal cutoff of 0.892 × 10⁻³mm²/s. MRI, particularly DWI and ADC analysis, provides valuable differentiation between atypical leiomyomas and uterine sarcomas, with sarcomas demonstrating higher DWI signal intensity and significantly lower ADC values.

Beyond the Usual Pathogens: Community-Acquired Meningoencephalitis Caused by Streptococcus equi in an Immunocompetent Adult.

Hammadi Hicham H, Elbouti Anas A, Chikhi Brahim B, Aarjouni Youssef Y et al.

Streptococcus equi is a rare zoonotic pathogen that only occasionally causes invasive central nervous system infections in humans. We report the case of a previously healthy 50-year-old man who presented with fever and altered mental status in the setting of recent animal exposure. Cerebrospinal fluid analysis was consistent with acute bacterial meningitis, while direct microscopy and multiplex polymerase chain reaction identified S. equi. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing confirmed susceptibility to ceftriaxone. Despite early initiation of intravenous ceftriaxone and adjunctive dexamethasone, the patient's course was complicated by generalized status epilepticus requiring intensive care support. He subsequently showed progressive neurological recovery with a favorable outcome. This case underscores the importance of considering S. equi as a potential cause of community-acquired bacterial meningoencephalitis in patients with relevant zoonotic exposure and highlights the value of rapid molecular diagnostics for early pathogen identification and targeted antimicrobial therapy.
