Immunological benefits of only 10 minute exercise in breast cancer patients according to our recent study: "Total leukocyte count increased by 29%, CD8+ T cell count by 34%, CD19+ B cell count by 18%, CD56+CD16+ NK cell count by 130%"

Glad to have been part of amazing Lisa Heather's research team studying diabetic heart leading to this publication.

Our latest results suggest that while reduced sitting did not improve liver insulin sensitivity, a combination of reduced weight and increased physical activity did so. Interestingly liver fat did not improve, so liver health is not all about liver fat.

We always want to have the toughest opponent we can imagine for the PhD defense. Today we did not need to ask from abroad as Satu Mustjoki came from Helsinki to challenge Tiia Koivula, who showed that she knows her topic which was immunological responses of exercise in cancer.

Tried to go beyond traditional approaches, by discussing the possible physiological limiting factors of the limiting factor(s) of (endurance) exercise performance.

I was wondering in the morning that where are all other cyclists, but there were many commuters riding their bikes when coming back from work. Still not so much snow that road bike was just fine.

Two papers.
On the left, a non-randomized, non-crossover study showing that a one-off sauna exposure significantly decreased arterial stiffness, with implications on cardiovascular health.
On the right, a randomized, crossover (more robust) study, showing no benefits on arterial stiffness or blood flow. Note the colossal difference in Altmetric score and media attention.
The media favors sensational but flawed studies over rigorous ones, distorting public understanding. #science #media
Last moments (hopefully) to enjoy forest trails in the highest region of South-West Finland before the snow season.

How does it go, is sitting really always bad for your blood pressure, especially during night time?

Always nice to see your own study/review cited in Cell Metabolism study 🙂

23 authors have published more than one article every day in 2024.
We have just clicked over to 01 Nov 2024. That is, we have done 10 months of this year, which is 305 days.
At various points during the year, we have looked at who has published a lot of papers, or "hyper productive authors" as we have called them.
1️⃣ The left hand side shows all the authors that have published more than 305 articles this year. That is they have published more than one article a day throughout 2024.
The data comes from @Scopus and it includes all articles types. The #Scopus search term is 'PUBYEAR = 2024' and then we just took all the authors that had more than 305 articles.
2️⃣ When we have posted these type of posts in the past, we were criticised as we included all article types. We held the view that it's indexed in Scopus, so we included it. But we do recognise that some of the articles were "Letters" (for example) which may not be recognised as a "proper" article. We know, for example, that when QS Ranking extracts articles from Scopus, it disregards letters.
So, we carried out another search that only looked at articles that were of type 'article'. The Scopus search term is 'PUBYEAR = 2024 AND ( LIMIT-TO ( DOCTYPE , "ar" ) )'
The table on the right hand side shows this data. We have listed the same number of authors as shown in the left hand table.
Nobody has published an 'article' every day in 2024, but not far from it. The top listed author (Tanihuchi) has published 269 "proper" articles. That is, 0.88 articles each day.
Any thoughts, views, comments?
