Coil Embolization for Right Ventricular Pseudoaneurysm.

Background: Right ventricular pseudoaneurysms are extremely rare and there is no precise recommendation for their management.

Case Summary: We present the case of a successful coil embolization of a right ventricular pseudoaneurysm in a woman with chronic kidney disease due to perinuclear antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody vasculitis and a history of difficult placement of a hemodialysis catheter.

Discussion: Ventricular pseudoaneurysm is a contained rupture of the ventricular wall that can occur due to several causes.

Complete chloroplast genome of the marine eelgrass (Zosteraceae, Plantae) from Monterey, California.

We present the complete chloroplast genome of the eelgrass from Monterey, California. The genome is circular and 144,675  bp in length. It consists of 82 protein-coding, 31 transfer RNA, and 8 ribosomal RNA genes and is 99.

The Gut Microbiota Is Involved in the Regulation of Cognitive Flexibility in Adolescent BALB/c Mice Exposed to Chronic Physical Stress and a High-Fat Diet.

Unlabelled: Dysfunction in the prefrontal cortex can lead to cognitive inflexibility due to multifactorial causes as included cardiometabolic disorders, stress, inadequate diets, as well as an imbalance of the gut-brain axis microbiota. However, these risk factors have not been evaluated jointly. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of physical stress (MS: Male Stress and FS: Female Stress) and high-fat diet (MD: Male Diet and FD: Female Diet) supplementation on the gut microbiota and cognitive flexibility.

Arachidonoylethanolamide promotes cellular senescence in a human glioblastoma cell line.

Glioblastomas are the most common and deadly primary brain tumors, with high mortality rates despite aggressive therapies. Cellular senescence is important for cancer development, as it limits tumor progression; however, it may also stimulate inflammation at the tumor microenvironment, promoting tumor development. Hence, modulation of senescence is an important target for cancer therapy.

A Comparison of Throwing Arm Kinetics and Ball Velocity in Professional Baseball Pitchers with the Fastest Maximum Joint and Segment Velocities.

Background: Significant associations have been established among individual maximum joint and segment velocities with throwing arm kinetics and ball velocity in baseball.

Purpose: Investigate how pitches with the fastest maximum joint and segment velocities, in both ideal and non-ideal sequence order, may impact ball velocity and throwing arm kinetics in professional baseball pitchers.

Methods: Professional(n=338) pitchers threw 8-12 fastball pitches while evaluated with 3D-motion capture (480 Hz).
