Hip strength ratios and trunk-pelvis coordination during the soccer inside kick: a 1D-SPM analysis

This study demonstrates that velocity-specific, multi-planar hip strength imbalances in male soccer players are significantly associated with distinct, phase-specific trunk-pelvis and lower-limb coordination patterns during the inside kick, supporting the use of combined strength profiling and waveform analysis to characterize movement strategies relevant to groin loading.

Post-Traumatic Stress Symptoms in Fathers Following a Pregnancy Complicated by Preeclampsia: A Cross-Sectional Survey

This cross-sectional survey indicates that fathers of pregnancies complicated by severe preeclampsia (specifically HELLP syndrome or eclampsia) exhibit higher post-traumatic stress symptoms compared to those with uncomplicated pregnancies, a trend that increases with disease severity and is significantly associated with a history of PTSD, though NICU admission does not appear to mediate this relationship.

Self-administered hair cortisol sampling in community settings with young children: a mixed-methods acceptability study

This mixed-methods study concludes that self-administered, home-based hair cortisol sampling is not a feasible or scalable method for measuring stress in young children due to low recruitment rates, poor protocol adherence, children's discomfort, and specific cultural concerns regarding hair collection.
