Abstract The importance of warfare for human evolution is hotly debated in anthropology. Some authors hypothesize that warfare emerged at least 200,000–100,000 years BP, was frequent, and significantly shaped human social evolution. Other authors claim that warfare is a recent phenomenon, linked to the emergence of agriculture, and mostly explained by cultural rather than evolutionary forces. Here I highlight and critically evaluate six controversial points on the evolutionary bases of warfare....

One of the most frequent endocrine irAE of anti-PD1...

Abstract Athletes should pay more attention to their bone health, whether this relates to their longer-term bone health (e.g. risk of osteopenia and osteoporosis) or their shorter-term risk of bony injuries. Perhaps the easiest way to do this would be to modify their training loads, although this advice rarely seems popular with coaches and athletes for obvious reasons. As such, other possibilities to support the athletes’ bone health need to be explored. Given that bone is a nutritionally...

Abstract Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a prevalent health problem. Developing a technology for quick OSA screening is momentous. In this study, we used regularized logistic regression to predict the OSA severity level of 199 individuals (116 males) with apnea/hypopnea index (AHI) ≥ 15 (moderate/severe OSA) and AHI < 5 (non-OSA) using their tracheal breathing sounds (TBS) recorded during daytime, while they were awake. The participants were guided to breathe through their...

Introduction: Currently, many clinical experiments are being conducted to study the effect of acupuncture on skeletal muscle contusions, and its therapeutic effect has been confirmed to some extent. However, the mechanism of recovery by electroacupuncture (EA) in skeletal muscles after blunt trauma remains unknown. Objective: To determine whether EA at Zusanli can contribute to the regeneration of contused skeletal muscle and the molecular mechanism involved. Methods: Masson’s trichrome staining...
