Adipose tissue oxylipin profile changes with subclinical ketosis and depot in postpartum dairy cows.

Lipolysis of adipose tissue is a natural occurrence during the periparturient period in dairy cows. However, when lipolysis rates exceed the capacity of other tissues to used nonesterified fatty acids, it may lead to the development of ketosis and other diseases. Additionally, PUFA can become oxidized into oxylipins, which modulate inflammation and metabolism.

The Correlation of Sleep Disturbance and Location of Glioma Tumors: A Narrative Review.

Sleep disturbance can occur when sleep centers of the brain, regions that are responsible for coordinating and generating healthy amounts of sleep, are disrupted by glioma growth or surgical resection. Several disorders cause disruptions to the average duration, quality, or patterns of sleep, resulting in sleep disturbance. It is unknown whether specific sleep disorders can be reliably correlated with glioma growth, but there are sufficient numbers of case reports to suggest that a connection is possible.

The effects of graft source and orientation on outcomes after ablation of a branched peripheral nerve.

Segmental peripheral nerve injuries (PNI) are the most common cause of enduring nervous system dysfunction. The peripheral nervous system (PNS) has an extensive and highly branching organization. While much is known about the factors that affect regeneration through sharp bisections and linear ablations of peripheral nerves, very little has been investigated or documented about PNIs that ablate branch points.
