BackgroundBalancing pulmonary and systemic blood flow remains one of the most critical challenges in the management of high-risk neonates with ductal-dependent circulation, particularly in the presence of low birth weigh...

Against the background of global climate change, increasingly severe drought stress exerts a significant impact on plant growth and yield. This study aimed to clarify the leaf anatomical structure, physiology and biochem...

A growing number of studies are now utilizing human organotypic brain slice cultures (OBSC), enabled by improved long-term culture protocols that support the investigation of human-specific cellular physiology. Human OBS...

Coronary artery disease (CAD) remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Over the past three decades, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has evolved from a anatomical revascularization technique ...

Anatomy and anatomy and physiology (A&P) courses are crucial to prepare quality health care professionals. Considerable research has focused on graduate-level anatomy education, with fewer studies examining course conten...

Function diagrams focus on physiological concepts rather than associated structures and can serve as elaboration tools and mnemonic aids. A function diagram prototype of the gastrointestinal system was recently described...

Abstract Background Microhabitat heterogeneity plays a crucial role in shaping plant water use strategies and ecophysiological processes in arid ecosystems, yet little is known about the coupled response of leaf water is...

First-year university students studying medicine and health sciences must acquire and assimilate significant amounts of physiological knowledge, which can result in tedious, passive rote learning. To address such notions...

Drug-induced cardiac arrhythmias are central to physiology and pharmacology education, yet students often struggle to connect electrophysiological mechanisms with dynamic electrocardiographic (ECG) changes. We developed ...

Since most physiology core concepts are equally applicable to humans and other multicellular organisms, human physiology instructors may reasonably wonder whether consistent use of nonhuman assessment questions would enh...

Abstract Clinicians often view exposure to supplementary oxygen in preterm infants as a simple reciprocal trade‐off between mortality and the risk of vision‐threatening retinopathy, but this perspective oversimplifie...

Saline soil significantly hinders crop growth potential, reducing grain yields. Applying maize (Zea mays L.) straw extract, rich in potassium ions (K+), in saline soil regions may help alleviate salt stress in wheat (Tri...

This integrative review synthesizes current knowledge on the physiological responses and adaptive mechanisms of amphibians and reptiles to multiple interacting environmental stressors, with particular emphasis on synergi...

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is a staple crop feeding over half of the global population, especially in Asia where it contributes 90% of global production. Weed infestation remains a critical constraint in rice ecosystems, sig...

Abstract Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is an inflammatory lung disease caused by inhalation of noxious particles, most commonly cigarette smoking. The consequent changes in airways, lung parenchyma and pul...

Abstract In this study, we compared acute metabolic responses and barbell velocity loss (VL) during cluster set (CS) versus traditional set (TS) resistance exercise. Six strength‐trained individuals completed two rando...

Abstract This study investigated sex differences in neuromuscular responses during dynamic balance perturbations and isometric maximal voluntary contractions (IMVCs) by examining if menstrual cycle (MC) phase and the flu...

Primary aldosteronism (PA) is the most common cause of secondary hypertension in many populations worldwide. Although hypertension with recurrent hypokalemia from renal potassium wasting and simultaneously elevated plasm...

High-altitude environments impose substantial metabolic constraints on human physiology, with oxygen limitation driving profound alterations in lipid regulation. This narrative review synthesizes current evidence on the ...
