My Favourite List of Research/Educational Resources

Similarly to the highly useful (at least for myself) list of physiotherapy/anatomy-related video resources for self-education, this is meant to be a list of my favourite research papers/textbooks etc. Mostly for myself to remember at those times when I want to share something in particular with someone, but can’t quickly find it.

The less offtopic in this thread, the better :slight_smile:

The molecular athlete: exercise physiology from mechanisms to medals
Regula Furrer, John A. Hawley, and Christoph Handschin
Published Online:17 APR 2023 https://doi.org/10.1152/physrev.00017.2022

An article about muscle development and transformation processes.


Mechanism of skeletal muscle atrophy after spinal cord injury: A narrative review
Xin Xu et al

Urinary Iodine Excretion After Contrast Computed Tomography Scan Implications for Radioactive Iodine Use
Grace L. Nimmons, MD; Gerry F. Funk, MD; Michael M. Graham, MD, PhD; et alNitin A. Pagedar, MD, MPH
JAMA Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg. 2013;139(5):479-482. doi:10.1001/jamaoto.2013.2552

An article about various effects (and retention) of the iodine-based contrast (used for CT scanning, cerebral angiography/venography and similar interventional procedures)

Notably, iodine-based CT contrast may induce (temporary) nephropathy (kidney dysfunction), and/or thyroid dysfunction (not sure if it’s temporary or may become permanent).
