Abstract	BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Near‐infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) and small‐scale testing are used to evaluate wheat germplasm is a cost‐effective strategy to reduce thousands of wheat lines to hundreds and then to tens of lines. Identification of high‐quality germplasm among thousands of lines is dependent on the accuracy of the tests that are used and how well these data correlate with the large‐scale tests that are used to confirm the end‐use quality before commercial release of a new wheat variety. In this study, NIR‐based testing was investigated to determine the effectiveness of this high‐throughput, nondestructive technology. FINDINGS: To demonstrate the effectiveness of NIRS and small‐scale testing as a selection strategy, interpretive population statistics evaluating three consecutive generations (F₄, F₅, and F₆) from a wheat breeding program were compared. The F₄ (early stage) generation (2019) was predicted for milling yield with a proportion of 13.9% of lines above 74% (w/w) milling yield. From those lines that progressed to F₅ (mid‐generation in 2020), the proportion increased to 26.2% of lines above 74% (w/w) milling yield. Selected lines from F₅ were progressed to F₆ (advanced generation in 2021), where 62.4% of lines were above 74% (w/w) milling yield. CONCLUSIONS: Each time the set progressed through the selection strategy, the portion of lines above 74% (w/w) milling yield increased. SIGNIFICANCE AND NOVELTY: This study demonstrates the value and efficiency of high‐throughput selection strategies using nondestructive NIRS at the F₄ (early‐stage generation) stage and small‐scale testing at the F₅ stage of a wheat breeding program.

Abstract	Background: End-stage respiratory failure is non-treatable with mechanical ventilation and can be treated with veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenators (VV-ECMO). It can also be used as a bridge to lung transplantation or recovery of lung function. This patient group can suffer from chronic pain, which is further exacerbated by painful procedures required as part of treatment. Pregabalin is licensed for chronic neuropathic pain and generalized anxiety disorder. Thus far, it has not been tried in routine analgesia protocols for pain relief of patients on VV-ECMO. Case series: We included nine patients aged 17-54 years on VV-ECMO awaiting lung transplantation. Exclusion criteria were acute kidney injury and chronic kidney disease. All patients had morphine patient-control analgesia. In addition, pregabalin 50 mg twice daily was initiated in all patients with dose escalation as required. Pain scores and quality of sleep were evaluated daily. All patients experienced significant pain relief, demonstrated by reduced pain scores after treatment commencement. The mean visual analogue scale score was reduced significantly from 6 ± 2 to 3 ± 1. A significant increase in good-quality sleep duration was recorded from 5 ± 1.7 hours per day before to 8 ± 2.1 hours per day after pregabalin treatment. All patients except for two reported reduced anxiety levels of at least 2 ± 1 scale improvement (p <0.05). Conclusions: Pregabalin is an efficient analgesic with accompanying anxiolytic effects in this group of patients with unique characteristics such as high analgesia requirements and exacerbated psychological and emotional stress.

Abstract	Purpose: Men and women typically display different neuromuscular characteristics, force-velocity relationships, and differing strength deficit (upper vs. lower body). Thus, it is not clear how previous recommendations for training with velocity-loss resistance training based on data in men will apply to women. This study examined the inter-sex differences in neuromuscular adaptations using 20% and 40% velocity-loss protocols in back squat and bench press exercises. Methods: The present study employed an 8-week intervention (2 × week) comparing 20% vs. 40% velocity-loss resistance training in the back squat and bench press exercises in young men and women (~ 26 years). Maximum strength (1-RM) and submaximal-load mean propulsive velocity (MPV) for low- and high-velocity lifts in squat and bench press, countermovement jump and vastus lateralis cross-sectional area were measured at pre-, mid-, and post-training. Surface EMG of quadriceps measured muscle activity during performance tests. Results: All groups increased 1-RM strength in squat and bench press exercises, as well as MPV using submaximal loads and countermovement jump height (P < 0.05). No statistically significant between-group differences were observed, but higher magnitudes following 40% velocity loss in 1-RM (g = 0.60) and in low- (g = 1.42) and high-velocity (g = 0.98) lifts occurred in women. Training-induced improvements were accompanied by increases in surface EMG amplitude and vastus lateralis cross-sectional area. Conclusion: Similar increases in strength and power performance were observed in men and women over 8 weeks of velocity-based resistance training. However, some results suggest that strength and power gains favor using 40% rather than 20% velocity loss in women.

Abstract	The presence and abundance of reef-building corals are crucial to the long-term existence of Caribbean coral reef ecosystems, providing both direct and indirect, local and global, ecological, economic, and social benefits. In 2014, stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) was first identified in southeast Florida and remains endemic to the region, while continuing to spread throughout the Caribbean. Effective in situ intervention treatments using antibiotic paste can halt lesion progression on Montastraea cavernosa up to 90% of the time. This study investigated intervention activities over a three-year period to identify efficiencies in disease response. Since May 2019, 1,037 corals, >85% of which were M. cavernosa, were treated during disease intervention dives in southeast Florida. Treated coral density, the number of treated corals per meter along a dive track, was significantly higher in the first year compared to subsequent years and displayed annual peaks in late summer each year. Season significantly influenced treatment density, leading to higher values in the wet season across all years, 2019 to 2022. Areas of highest treatment density were identified between Haulover Inlet and Government Cut near Miami and Hillsboro Inlet in northern Broward County. Areas with the highest treatment density were only identified in the first year, suggesting that broadscale interventions may have decreased disease prevalence in subsequent years. Results indicate that in endemic areas with sporadic and dynamic disease prevalence, intervention efforts should be weighted proportionally across space and time to maximize intervention efficiency. This study provides optimistic results for the potential of interventions reducing disease prevalence and supports that disease interventions are an effective coral restoration tool that can decrease the increasing burden on post hoc coral restoration.

Abstract	Progressive pulmonary fibrosis (PPF) and interstitial lung abnormalities (ILA) are relatively new concepts in interstitial lung disease (ILD) imaging and clinical management. Recognition of signs of PPF, as well as identification and classification of ILA, are important tasks during chest high-resolution CT interpretation, to optimize management of patients with ILD and those at risk of developing ILD. However, following professional society guidance, the role of imaging surveillance remains unclear in stable patients with ILD, asymptomatic patients with ILA who are at risk of progression, and asymptomatic patients at risk of developing ILD without imaging abnormalities. In this AJR Expert Panel Narrative Review, we summarize the current knowledge regarding PPF and ILA and describe the range of clinical practice with respect to imaging patients with ILD, those with ILA, and those at risk of developing ILD. In addition, we offer suggestions to help guide surveillance imaging in areas with an absence of published guidelines, where such decisions are currently driven primarily by local pulmonologists' preference.

Abstract	Background: Breastfeeding provides all the necessary energy and nutrients for an infant and provides many benefits for mothers and babies. The effects of colonisation have contributed to reduced prevalence and duration of breastfeeding among Australian Aboriginal women and widespread use of infant formula as a substitute for breastmilk. This review aimed to synthesise qualitative evidence about the factors that influence breastfeeding and infant feeding practices of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women and their families. Methods: MEDLINE, CINAHL, Informit and Google Scholar were systematically searched for qualitative studies that included the perspective of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women and their families about the factors influencing infant feeding decisions. Included studies were appraised using an Indigenous quality assessment tool and were synthesised via inductive thematic analysis informed by an ecological framework. Results: The search identified 968 studies with 7 meeting the inclusion criteria. Key factors influencing breastfeeding and infant feeding practices of Aboriginal women included cultural practices, normalisation of bottle feeding, shame associated with breastfeeding in public, access to culturally safe nutrition education, support services and health professionals, family/partner support, knowledge of the benefits of breastfeeding, experiences with previous babies and concern that the baby was not getting enough milk. Conclusion: The perspectives of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women must be considered when providing breastfeeding and infant feeding advice. This can be achieved through Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people designing, implementing, and leading the delivery of education and information regarding breastfeeding and health infant feeding practices that have been influenced by the priorities of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.

Abstract	Background and aims: Many agricultural areas are expected to face hotter, drier conditions from climate change. Understanding the mechanisms crops use to mitigate these stresses can guide breeding for more tolerant plant material. We tested relationships between traits, physiological function under hot conditions, and historical climate associations to evaluate these mechanisms for winegrapes. We expected a more negative leaf osmotic potential at full hydration (πo), which reduces leaf turgor loss during drought, and either a metabolically cheaper or more osmoprotectant leaf chemical composition, to allow cultivars associated with hot, dry regions to maintain greater gas exchange under hot growing conditions. Methods: We measured πo, gas exchange, and leaf chemistry for 7 commercially important winegrape cultivars that vary widely in historical climate associations. Vines were grown under common garden field conditions in a hot wine-growing region (Davis, California) and measured over the hottest period of the growing season (July - September). Key results: □o varied significantly between cultivars, and all cultivars significantly reduced □o (osmotically adjusted) over the study period, though osmotic adjustment did not vary across cultivars. πo was correlated with gas exchange and climate associations, but in the opposite directions than expected. Photosynthesis and πo were higher in the cultivars associated with hotter, less humid regions. Leaf chemical composition varied between cultivars, but was not related to climate associations. Conclusions: These findings suggest that leaf turgor maintenance is not a primary limitation on grapevine adaptation to hot or atmospherically dry growing conditions. Thus, selecting for a more negative πo or greater osmotic adjustment is not a promising strategy to develop more climate-resilient grape varieties, contrary to findings for other crops. Future work is needed to identify the mechanisms increasing photosynthesis in the cultivars associated with hot, dry regions.
