INTRODUCTION Groin pain is common in athletic populations. This pain may be more prevalent in high-level athletes and in certain sports, such as hockey and soccer, which place increased stresses on the groin region. Groin pain may often be related to hip pathology, and hip pain from a number of causes may also be a common finding in high-level athletes. This confluence of hip and groin pain may...

Protective immunity against tuberculosis: what does it look like and how do we find it?

Progress towards the development of an effective vaccine against tuberculosis is hampered by the lack of correlative readouts of immune protection, coupled with our limited understanding of the immune mechanisms that determine disease progression versus containment. In this article we discuss the value of microbial readouts of bacterial fitness to probe the host immune environments and determin...

Atrioventricular nodal electrophysiology: still exciting after all these years.

The anatomical atrioventricular node was first described by Tawara in 1906.1 Although some surmised the node to be the region responsible for delay between contraction of atria and ventricles, Erlanger in 1912 localized the major portion of delay to a latency at the transition between atrial and nodal fibers.2 Nearly a century of research on properties of the atrioventricular (AV) node has subs...

"But still, it moves".

A striking example of our sensitivity to dynamic information is our ability to infer motion from still images depicted in paintings, photographs or cartoons. What are the neural mechanisms that mediate this implied motion perception? In a recent paper, Krekelberg et al. demonstrate that form cues that imply motion are integrated with real motion information, and influence perception in both hum...
