Assessment of axillary temperature for the evaluation of normal body temperature of healthy young adults at rest in a thermoneutral environment
The aims of this study were to (1) evaluate whether recently introduced methods of measuring axillary temperature are reliable, (2) examine if individuals know their baseline body temperature based on an actua... (Source: Journal of Physiological Anthropology)

An adaptive variant of TRIB2, rs1057001, is associated with higher expression levels of thermogenic genes in human subcutaneous and visceral adipose tissues
An obesity-related single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of the Tribbles pseudokinase 2 gene (TRIB2) was shown to have underwent adaptive evolution in the last glacial period, suggesting a selective advantage of t... (Source: Journal of Physiological Anthropology)

Enhancement of autonomic and psychomotor arousal by exposures to blue wavelength light: importance of both absolute and relative contents of melanopic component
Blue light containing rich melanopsin-stimulating (melanopic) component has been reported to enhance arousal level, but it is unclear whether the determinant of the effects is the absolute or relative content ... (Source: Journal of Physiological Anthropology)

Associations between the oxytocin receptor gene (OXTR) rs53576 polymorphism and emotional processing of social and nonsocial cues: an event-related potential (ERP) study
Oxytocin receptor (OXTR) gene polymorphisms are related to individual differences in emotional processing of social cues. However, whether OXTR polymorphisms affect emotional processing of nonsocial cues remains ... (Source: Journal of Physiological Anthropology)

Increase in brain activation due to sub-tasks during driving: fMRI study using new MR-compatible driving simulator
Several studies have used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to show that neural activity is associated with driving. fMRI studies have also elucidated the brain responses associated with driving whi... (Source: Journal of Physiological Anthropology)

Ice ingestion with a long rest interval increases the endurance exercise capacity and reduces the core temperature in the heat
The timing in which ice before exercise should be ingested plays an important role in optimizing its success. However, the effects of differences in the timing of ice ingestion before exercise on cycling capac... (Source: Journal of Physiological Anthropology)

Transitional cell carcinoma with extension of the renal vein and IVC tumor thrombus: report of three cases and literature review
Conclusions: Compared to the extension of RCC to the renal vein or IVC, extension of TCC to the renal vein or IVC is rare. TCC with a venous tumor thrombus is often misdiagnosed as RCC. However, a correct preoperative or intraoperative diagnosis is of great importance to decide surgical strategy. Laparoscopic radical nephroureterectomy with thrombectomy may be a safe and feasible operative method in treatment of TCC with a renal vein thrombus. The prognosis of such cases is poor even if chemotherapy and radiotherapy are scheduled. (Source: Journal of Physiological Anthropology)

A survey of facilitators and barriers to recruitment to the MAGNETIC trial
Conclusions: This study highlights important generic and trial-specific facilitators and barriers to recruitment to a paediatric trial in the acute setting and provides information on the recruitment strategies or interventions that were applied to overcome these barriers. This information can be very useful in informing the design and conduct of future clinical trials with children, particularly in the acute or emergency setting.Trial registrationISRCTN, ISRCTN81456894.
