BACKGROUND The role of physical fitness (VO2Max (mlO2*min-1*kg-1)) as a risk factor for herniated lumbar disc disease (HLDD) is unknown. The objective of this study was to examine the association between aerobic (physical) fitness and risk of hospitalisation due to HLDD in a long-term follow up. METHODS The Copenhagen Male Study is a prospective cohort study established in 1970-71. At baselin...

Genes are regulated because their expression involves a fitness cost to the organism. The production of proteins by transcription and translation is a well-known cost factor, but the enzymatic activity of the proteins produced can also reduce fitness, depending on the internal state and the environment of the cell. Here, we map the fitness costs of a key metabolic network, the lactose utilizati...

Objectives: High prevalence of stimulants use –especially crystalline methamphetamine (crystal meth)-, which required extensive medical and rehabilitation interventions is a major problem in Iran’s health care system. Main objective of the current study was to compare social, economic and cultural factors associated with female’s tendency toward use of two main types of drugs including opium an...

The large number of exact fitness function evaluations makes evolutionary algorithms to have computational cost (especially in Multi Objective Problems (MOPs)). In some realworld problems, reducing number of these evaluations is much more valuable even by increasing computational complexity and spending more time. To fulfil this target, we introduce an effective factor, in spite of applied fact...

The notion of Darwinian fitness allows us to understand how natural selection influences the evolution of organismal traits. For example, we might explain a plant’s morphology, or a bird’s behaviour in terms of the fitness advantages (reproductive or survival benefits) such morphology or behaviour confers. The notion of inclusive fitness is used specifically to understand how selection will act...

Convergent evidence from human and non-human animal studies suggests aerobic exercise and increased aerobic capacity may be beneficial for brain health and cognition. It is thought growth factors may mediate this putative relationship, particularly by augmenting plasticity mechanisms in the hippocampus, a brain region critical for learning and memory. Among these factors, glucocorticoids, brain...

Pathogenic de novo mutations increase with fathers' age and could be amplified through competition between genetically distinct subpopulations of spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs). Here, we tested the fitness of SSCs bearing wild-type human FGFR2 or an Apert syndrome mutant, FGFR2 (S252W), to provide experimental evidence for SSC competition. The S252W allele conferred enhanced FGFR2-mediated si...
