Normative Values of Brainstem Auditory-Evoked Responses in Sheep.

The brainstem auditory-evoked response (BAER) is an established electrophysiological measure of neural activity from the auditory nerve up to the brain stem. The BAER is used to diagnose abnormalities in auditory pathways and in neurophysiological human and animal research. However, normative data for BAERs in sheep, which represent an adequate large animal model for translational and basic otological research, are lacking.

Summary of the National Advisory Committee on Immunization (NACI) Statement-Updated guidance on Imvamune in the context of a routine immunization program.

Background: Mpox is a viral illness related to smallpox. It can cause flu-like symptoms and a rash, and in severe cases, can lead to hospitalization or death. The Imvamune® vaccine offers protection against mpox.

Thermogenic preworkout supplement induces alveolar bone loss in a rat model of tooth movement via RANK/RANKL/OPG pathway.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of thermogenic supplementation on the bone tissue of rats subjected to orthodontic movement. A total of 38 male Wistar rats underwent orthodontic movement of the left permanent maxillary first molars for 21 days. The rats were assigned to three groups: Control group: water; Thermogenic 1: C4 Beta Pump thermogenic; or Thermogenic 2: PRE-HD/Pre-workout.

Detecting somatic variants in purified brain DNA obtained from surgically implanted depth electrodes in epilepsy.

Objective: Somatic variants causing epilepsy are challenging to detect, as they are only present in a subset of brain cells (e.g., mosaic), resulting in low variant allele frequencies.
