Author Correction:A cattle graph genome incorporating global breed diversity
No full textThe original version of this Article omitted from the author list the 12th and 13th authors Dennis Muhanguzi and Wilson Amanyire, who are from the ‘School of Biosecurity, Biotechnology and Laboratory Sciences (SBLS), College of Veterinary Medicine, Animal Resources and Biosecurity, Makerere University, P.O Box 7062, Kampala, Uganda’. Consequently, the final sentence of the Author Contributions incorrectly read ‘D.W., P.T., E.A.J.C., C.E., E.T.O., E.R.A., A. Tijjani, K.M., A.F., B.R.F., A.Q., U.C. and P.W. provided samples and expertise for the studies’. This has been replaced with ‘D.W., P.T., W.A., D.M., E.A.J.C., C.E., E.T.O., E.R.A., A. Tijjani, K.M., A.F., B.R.F., A.Q., U.C. and P.W. provided samples and expertise for the studies’. This has been corrected in both the PDF and HTML versions of the Article
Is there a role for transversus abdominis in lumbo-pelvic stability?
No full textThere has been considerable interest in the literature regarding the function of transversus abdominis, the deepest of the abdominal muscles, and the clinical approach to training this muscle. With the development of techniques for the investigation of this muscle involving the insertion of fine-wire electromyographic electrodes under the guidance of ultrasound imaging it has been possible to test the hypotheses related to its normal function and function in people with low back pain. The purpose of this review is to provide an appraisal of the current evidence for the role of transversus abdominis in spinal stability, to develop a model of how the contribution of this muscle differs from the other abdominal muscles and to interpret these findings in terms of the consequences of changes in this function
New and interesting records of South African fungi. XI. Eucalyptus leaf fungi
No full textTen species of fungi from Eucalyptus leaves are described and illustrated. With the exception of Coniella castaneicola (Ellis & Everhart) Sutton, nine species are shown to be new records for South Africa. These include Anungitea globosa Sutton & Hodges, Mapletonia falcata Sutton, Microsphaeropsis callista (H. Sydow) Sutton, M. globulosa (Camara) Sutton, Minimidochium setosum Sutton, Polyscytalum gracilisporum (Matsushima) Sutton & Hodges, Propolis emarginata (Cooke & Massee) Sherwood, Semifissispora elongata Swart and Tracylla aristata (Cooke) Tassi
Avoiding the Edge Before It Is Too Late: When Is Pain a Sign of Injury in Athletes?
No full textA multitude of internal and external factors converge to produce the output of pain. Although pain is an anticipated side effect of high-intensity exercise, if athletes persist through injury-related pain mistaken for muscle soreness, it may “push them over the edge,” leading to injury. The decision to push through or pull back ultimately lies with the athlete. Although athletes are often adept at making this decision, even at the highest level their decision making skills are not infallible, with approximately 9% of athletes at the 2022 Summer Olympics sustaining an injury.1 Athletes typically learn the limits of their personal edge and the difference between pain that is a sign of training to one’s limit versus injury based on trial-and-error in their decision making.2To increase precision in this process, enhancement in the understanding of the meaning of pain (eg, threat value) from the cells to the cortex and how to respond optimally in a given context is required. As a complex array of factors contribute to defining this edge,3–6 advancement in precisely targeted, multimodal biopsychosocial assessment has the potential to isolate individualized early warning signs.Nicole C.
