Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to determine if pulse wave velocity (PWV) measured before surgery could predict hypotension during spinal anaesthesia in patients over 30 years old.
- Conducted at a Turkish university hospital, it compared patients with hypertension (HT group) to those with normal preoperative blood pressure (control group) during lower extremity surgeries.
- Results indicated that higher PWV was associated with increased rates of hypotension during spinal anaesthesia, suggesting PWV could serve as a reliable biomarker for predicting hypotensive episodes in hypertensive patients.
Neural stem cells (NSCs) are multipotent and correct fate determination is crucial to guarantee brain formation and homeostasis. How NSCs are instructed to generate neuronal or glial progeny is not well understood. Here, we addressed how murine adult hippocampal NSC fate is regulated and described how scaffold attachment factor B (SAFB) blocks oligodendrocyte production to enable neuron generation.

Due to a hyperactive and prolonged inflammation triggered by proinflammatory immune cells, transitioning to the repair and healing phase is halted. T cells may exacerbate the proinflammatory milieu by secreting proinflammatory cytokines.

Yet, it is unclear whether such findings can be extended in less controlled setups. By employing air traffic controllers in a real aviation environment, we tested whether tasks with different levels of cognitive load can affect their timing behavior.

Materials And Methods: After the composition of a preliminary set of items, the content validity of the scale was assessed by an e-Delphi process and a pilot study. The psychometric properties of the scale were evaluated in 358 participants, who had above 12 years of education: university students, academics and, administrative staff from two faculties (pharmacy and law) in two universities located in two major cities (İstanbul and Ankara) in Türkiye between March and May, 2021.
