Modulation of neuronal oscillations holds promise for the treatment of neurological disorders. Nonetheless, conventional stimulation in a continuous open-loop manner can lead to side effects and suboptimal efficiency. Closed-loop strategies such as phase-locked stimulation aim to address these shortcomings by offering a more targeted modulation.

Identification of novel drug targets is a key component of modern drug discovery. While antimalarial targets are often identified through the mechanism of action studies on phenotypically derived inhibitors, this method tends to be time- and resource-consuming. The discoverable target space is also constrained by existing compound libraries and phenotypic assay conditions.

Introduction: Military service members are at risk of heat stroke, particularly due to physical exertion during training and tasks. Due to the serious nature and potentially fatal consequences of heat stroke, it is important to understand trends over time and among subgroups of service members in diagnoses of heat stroke. We aimed to replicate and extend recent work by Williams and Oh1 by examining the incidence of heat stroke in military service members from 2016 to 2021 and performing subgroup comparisons for sex, age, race, marital status, pay grade, and service branch.

Unstable human artery plaques can suddenly rupture, leading to MI or stroke. Identification of blood markers associated with unstable plaque features is clearly needed. Humans with symptomatic carotid atherosclerotic plaques have increased plaque infiltration of CD56bright Natural Killer (NK) cells, yet whether subjects with unstable coronary artery plaque features have increased frequencies of circulating CD56bright NK cells is unknown.
