Pain symptoms were significantly reduced after treatment compared with preoperative levels in both groups(P < 0.05), and patients in the experimental group exhibited significantly alleviated pain symptoms compared with the control group (P < 0.05). No significant differences were detected in muscle, fascia, or vertebral artery parameters in the control group between pre- and post-treatment assessments (P>0.05). In contrast, all parameters of muscle, fascia, and vertebral artery in the experimental group were significantly improved post-treatment compared with baseline (P < 0.05).ConclusionLocal magnesium-sulfate injection enhances pulsed radiofrequency efficacy by relieving perineural muscle spasm and improving vertebral-artery hemodynamics, leading to sustained reductions in headache intensity, duration, and frequency with an excellent safety profile.]]> https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fphys.2026.1754745 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fphys.2026.1754745 2026-05-05T00:00:00Z Review Nuoran ChenDuoduo GuWanqing YangXiaoqi MengTingwei LiuDansheng LiYang Xu https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fphys.2026.1795836 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fphys.2026.1795836 2026-05-05T00:00:00Z Original Research Weiwei XiangZhen LvXinwen MinJunhao ZhangHandong YangJun ChenJishun ChenDongfeng LiHao XuChao LuoWenwen Wu 0.05), between the two groups. Body weight monitoring revealed that the CSD group had significantly lower body weight at the early stage of the experiment (week 1) and at week 8 compared with the controls (P < 0.05). No significant differences were observed at most other time points, showing a fluctuating pattern with baseline differences.ConclusionThree months of CSD led to decreased BMD and trabecular thinning in middle-aged and older male mice. No significant deterioration of overall bone biomechanical properties was observed, suggesting the presence of compensatory mechanisms in bone. The effect of sleep deprivation on body weight was intermittent rather than sustained. These findings provide experimental evidence for a comprehensive understanding of the relationship between sleep duration and skeletal health.]]> https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fphys.2026.1837615 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fphys.2026.1837615 2026-05-05T00:00:00Z Systematic Review Zhuo ZengPeng ZhangChengyu ZhouZixin WangJunhao LiQi XieHaoran LiDongxu HuangYongmin XieAiguo Zhou https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fphys.2026.1773684 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fphys.2026.1773684 2026-05-05T00:00:00Z Review Takehito Ono https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fphys.2026.1809107 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fphys.2026.1809107 2026-05-04T00:00:00Z Review Zhigang ChenZhiwei Niu https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fphys.2026.1811001 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fphys.2026.1811001 2026-05-04T00:00:00Z Original Research Cristian J.

Synergistic interactions between thermal and hydric stress significantly amplify vulnerability, particularly in dehydration scenarios that reduce critical thermal limits. Chemical pollutants, including heavy metals and pesticides, cause developmental abnormalities (535% increase in malformation frequency), immunosuppression, and endocrine disruption across multiple life stages. Emerging infectious diseases, particularly chytridiomycosis (Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis and B. salamandrivorans) and ranaviruses, drive mass mortality events globally, with co-infections exacerbating population declines. Climate change intensifies disease susceptibility through stress-mediated immunosuppression and altered pathogen dynamics. Adaptive capacity varies markedly among species. While amphibians exhibit strong phenological responses (2-4× greater than other taxa), genetic adaptation potential remains limited by narrow dispersal abilities and habitat fragmentation. Microhabitat buffering can reduce thermal extremes by several degrees but depends critically on habitat structural integrity. This review demonstrates that the pace of anthropogenic change challenges the adaptive capacity of most species, necessitating integrated conservation strategies including microhabitat preservation, climate corridor establishment, pollution mitigation, disease surveillance, and ex-situ conservation programs.]]>
