Pain-related TMD is often associated with difficulties in chewing and jaw function, yet objective measures that are both clinically meaningful and reliable remain limited.
This cross-sectional pilot study evaluated three measures of bite function:
- Pain-Free Bite Force (PFBF)
-Bite Endurance
-Bite Steadiness
The key finding? Read more to find out: https://t.co/4Gu2MHRMnY

Today I announced One Nation's policy to get Australians a better return on the Commonwealth's gas and oil, our natural resources at @au_energy_prod

We want more gas extracted and more money given back to Australian's future wealth.

One Nation would partner with the oil and gas industry rather than treating it as an enemy, with the aim of increasing exploration, development and production of oil and gas

Under the policy, the party would introduce a 30 per cent rebate for genuine oil and gas exploration in Commonwealth waters, while giving the Commonwealth Government the option to take up to a 30 per cent equity stake in any production licence.

This would mean real ownership of Australia's natural resources by the Australian people.

Rather than acquiring ownership by force, the government would pay its share of costs as a joint venture partner and receive a corresponding share of production.

To manage these interests, One Nation would establish a special investment vehicle called the Australian National Wealth Investment Corporation (ANWIC), which would hold the government’s resource stakes and be tasked with making decisions for the greatest benefit of Australians.

Government would receive their proportion of oil and gas which could then be directed to the domestic market, used to support critical industries such as fertiliser, energy and smelting, or sold into export markets to help reduce government debt.

ANWIC would be overseen by a board made up of people with proven oil and gas industry experience, rather than career bureaucrats, and the Commonwealth would remain a non-operating partner while private-sector experts continued to run projects.

The policy would also allow ANWIC to invest in existing projects, but only on commercial, arm’s-length terms, with the government paying its way as in investment rather than taking over projects.

In return, the Commonwealth could choose to receive either its share of profits or physical gas supply, giving it the flexibility to support domestic manufacturing when needed or benefit from selling at high international prices.

One Nation argues this approach is even better than a domestic gas reservation policy, which can be blunt and inefficient. We also reject proposals for a 25 per cent gas export tax, because this measure is purposely designed to kill the gas industry.

Alongside these structural changes, One Nation would cut “red, green and black tape” to speed up project development and set a target of deciding on projects within six months.

We would abolish net-zero policies and the Safeguard Mechanism, while also having government help fund gas exploration.

In taxation, the party would replace the failed Petroleum Resource Rent Tax (PRRT) for offshore gas with a simpler Commonwealth royalty based on wellhead values.

This new royalty system would apply only to future projects, with existing PRRT arrangements grandfathered.

Overall, One Nation's policy is designed to deliver greater returns to Australians, encourage oil and gas production, strengthen fuel security, lower power prices, reduce government debt and give Australians real ownership of our natural resources.

Injury risk in sport is rarely driven by a single factor.

While an athlete’s internal characteristics may predispose them to certain risks, the application of workload can act as the vehicle through which those risks are exposed to external demands.

Progressive, higher-dose mechanical loading—specifically isometric training, & plyometric jumping—is the most effective way to enhance Achilles tendon capacity. findings r hypothesis-generating rather than prescriptive due to the underlying instability & imprecision of evidence

[Andy Galpin, PhD @DrAndyGalpin]

Intense Strength Training is arguably the most effective way to increase joint flexibility in healthy adults.

This systematic review & meta-analysis included ~1,500 men & women of varying experience and age, across 36 studies.

General results were similar to many of the original studies; a full range of motion resistance exercise is highly effective for most people.

Sex had a mild impact, but didn't change the overall conclusion.

Intensity on the other hand, played the biggest role. The more intense the lifting, the more benefit on flexibility.

Age and experience level had no impact.

Why does this work?

The 2 prevailing thoughts on how flexibility increases are:

1. Mechanical: Changes in tissue, tendons, muscles, etc.
2. Sensory: Higher tolerance to tissue being stretched.

Current evidence suggests that both acute (first few minutes) and short-term (first 8 weeks or so) are likely driven by Sensory. After that, Mechanical might be more plausible.

Thus, intensity training probably works well bc it drives both potential mechanisms.

Lifting heavy weights is not for everyone, but it is important to recognize that it is as viable a method for improving flexibility as anything we've seen thus far.

I'll always remember a @thereadystate video from many years ago about how silly it was to think a static hamstring stretch would do anything to flexibility if said hamstring was capable of deadlifting 500 lbs. The specific point doesn't matter, but he was highlighting a fairly common-sense point that ultimately appears supported by the bulk of the research.

Paper is open access (free!) below.
