Summary: This study aimed to compare the prevalence of impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) and diabetes mellitus (DM) among Australian women following plant-based diets (PBD) compared to regular meat eaters. The results showed that women following PBD had a lower prevalence of diabetes, while high consumers of meat had a higher prevalence. The relationship between meat consumption and impaired glucose tolerance/diabetes appeared to be mediated, in part, by an increase in body mass index.

Summary: This study examined the effects of unexpected eccentric load variability during resistance training on team sport players. The results showed that training with rotary inertial devices that have load variability can improve vertical jump performance, but increasing the variability of the exercise does not add benefits to physical performance and training outcomes.

Summary: This study investigates the relationship between BMI and the risk of impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) and impaired fasting glucose (IFG) in Chinese adults. The results show that obesity is an important risk factor for IGT and IFG in China, and the risk of IGT increases during the overweight stage.

Summary: This study found that there is a relationship between blood pressures and blood glucose that differs by ethnicity. In Asian pregnant women, the difference in ankle systolic blood pressure was positively associated with blood glucose, suggesting its potential as a new non-invasive screening tool for gestational diabetes risk.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of consuming apples on postprandial blood glucose and insulin levels in individuals with normal versus impaired glucose tolerance. The findings suggest that consuming an apple before a meal can help regulate blood glucose and insulin levels in both normal individuals and those with impaired glucose tolerance.

Summary: The study aimed to quantify the control of linear accelerations at the head and trunk during gait in individuals with unilateral vestibular loss using clinically available inertial measurement units. Participants who underwent vestibular schwannoma resection surgery showed greater impairment in controlling accelerations at the head and trunk without visual sensory information compared to vestibular healthy participants. These impairments were detectable using clinically available inertial measurement units.

Summary: This study aims to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy, predictive capacity, and responsiveness to rehabilitation of objective dual-task turning measures within an mTBI population. Through two phases, the researchers will explore the potential new guidance and tools these measures can provide for clinical decisions in individuals with mTBI.

Summary: This study aimed to explore the differences in vestibular ocular motor screening (VOMS) symptoms between healthy adults and adults with persistent symptoms after mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI), and to investigate the relationships between VOMS symptoms and other measures. The results showed that the mTBI group had more VOMS symptoms and a further near point of convergence (NPC) distance compared to healthy controls. Self-reported symptoms on the Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI) were strongly associated with VOMS symptom scores. No significant relationships were found between VOMS symptoms and other measures. These findings support the relevance of VOMS for mTBI and its ability to capture vestibular complaints in this population.

Summary: This study aimed to determine the ability of wearable sensors and data processing algorithms to discern motion restrictions during daily living activities. The results showed that wearable sensors accurately captured significant differences in head and trunk kinematics, including rotational velocity, amplitude, and head-trunk coupling, between restricted and non-restricted conditions. These findings support the ecological validity of using wearable sensors to quantify movement alterations during real-world scenarios.

Summary: This study compared the effectiveness of compensatory saccades (CS) between individuals with peripheral and central vestibular dysfunction. The results showed that CS recruited by persons with central vestibular pathology were not uniformly deficient and could compensate for reductions in the vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) gain. On the other hand, individuals with central lesions exhibited greater variability in the amplitude of overt CS relative to gaze position error (GPE).

Summary: This study compared the efficacy of gaze and postural stability (GPS) retraining intervention to strength and endurance (SAE) intervention in individuals with multiple sclerosis (PwMS) who experienced dizziness or imbalance. The results showed that both GPS and SAE interventions resulted in significant improvements in dizziness handicap and balance from baseline to 6 weeks, with no significant difference between the two groups.
