Article Synopsis
- Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a significant cause of mortality and disability in the U.S., and the peripheral vestibular system may be particularly at risk for damage in those with TBI.
- A study utilized cervical and ocular vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (VEMPs) and video head impulse tests (vHIT) to assess vestibular function and quality of life among individuals with chronic moderate-severe TBI compared to non-injured participants.
- Results indicated that a high percentage (63%) of TBI patients exhibited abnormal VEMP responses and reported vestibular symptoms, with many indicating these symptoms adversely affected their quality of life, underscoring the importance of vestibular testing for effective rehabilitation.
Skeletal muscle mass plays a pivotal role in metabolic function, but conditions such as bed rest or injury often render resistance training impractical. The beta-adrenergic receptor has been highlighted as a potential target to promote muscle hypertrophy and treat atrophic conditions. Here, we investigate the proteomic changes associated with beta-adrenergic-mediated muscle hypertrophy, using resistance training as a hypertrophic comparator.

Unlike most MAPs which are composed of either solid structures or hollow needles, L-MAPs incorporate tapered struts that form hollow cells capable of trapping liquid droplets. The lattice structures can also be coated with traditional viscous coating formulations, enabling both liquid- and solid-state cargo delivery, on a single patch.
