Use of intraoperative transsplenic injection of agitated saline to confirm temporary full attenuation of congenital extrahepatic portosystemic shunts in dogs.

Objective: To describe the use of intraoperative transsplenic injection of agitated saline (TIAS) and confirm temporarily full attenuation of extrahepatic portosystemic shunt (EHPSS) in dogs.

Study Design: Retrospective case series.

Animals: A total of 40 dogs.

Effectiveness of the scapula mobilization technique on the neural mechanosensitivity of the upper limb neural test 1 in individuals with mechanical cervicalgia. A randomized controlled trial.

Objective: to observe whether the mobilization of the scapula improves the mechanosensitivity of the median nerve in patients with cervicalgia. Localized cervical pain caused by compression of a nerve root without presenting irradiated features along the nerve path is diagnosed as cervicalgia. Muscles around the scapula can be directly responsible of this compression.

The chemokine Cxcl14 regulates interneuron differentiation in layer I of the somatosensory cortex.

Spontaneous and sensory-evoked activity sculpts developing circuits. Yet, how these activity patterns intersect with cellular programs regulating the differentiation of neuronal subtypes is not well understood. Through electrophysiological and in vivo longitudinal analyses, we show that C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 14 (Cxcl14), a gene previously characterized for its association with tumor invasion, is expressed by single-bouquet cells (SBCs) in layer I (LI) of the somatosensory cortex during development.

International society of sports nutrition position stand: ketogenic diets.

Position Statement: The International Society of Sports Nutrition (ISSN) provides an objective and critical review of the use of a ketogenic diet in healthy exercising adults, with a focus on exercise performance and body composition. However, this review does not address the use of exogenous ketone supplements. The following points summarize the position of the ISSN.
