Trunk Biomechanical Responses during Sudden Loading
Back injury caused by sudden loading is a significant risk among workers who perform manual material handling tasks (MMH). Therefore, it is critical to understand the effects of influential factors on back injury risks during sudden loading, and to develop load handling strategies that can reduce …

Genetic exploration of exercise associated sudden death in racehorses
Background: Exercise-associated sudden death (EASD) is a fatal collapse occurring during or within 2 hours of racing or training in an otherwise healthy individual. It represents a significant cause of mortality in racehorses, accounting for 25% of the approximately 500 annual racehorse fatalities …

Genetic Variants and Risk in Sudden Cardiac Death Syndromes
Sudden cardiac death is a major public health burden and is often the first manifestation of heart disease. Several cardiac conditions that confer a predisposition to sudden cardiac death (SCD) have a known genetic basis, including for example long QT syndrome (LQTS) and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy …
