Provider kinematic strategies during the delivery of spinal manipulation and mobilization: a scoping review of the literature.

Background: Spinal manipulation (MAN) and mobilization (MOB) are biomechanically different yet both elicit pain reduction and increased range of motion. Previous investigations have focused on quantifying kinetics (e.g.

Active learning of neural population dynamics using two-photon holographic optogenetics.

Recent advances in techniques for monitoring and perturbing neural populations have greatly enhanced our ability to study circuits in the brain. In particular, two-photon holographic optogenetics now enables precise photostimulation of experimenter-specified groups of individual neurons, while simultaneous two-photon calcium imaging enables the measurement of ongoing and induced activity across the neural population. Despite the enormous space of potential photostimulation patterns and the time-consuming nature of photostimulation experiments, very little algorithmic work has been done to determine the most effective photostimulation patterns for identifying the neural population dynamics.

The association of diabetes mellitus and routinely collected patient-reported outcomes in patients with cancer. A real-world cohort study.

Objective: Current studies have indicated that diabetes mellitus (DM) is highly prevalent in patients with cancer, but there is little research on consequences on the well-being of patients during cancer treatment. This analysis evaluates the relationship between DM and patient-reported outcomes (PRO) in patients with cancer, using a large and well-characterized cohort.

Methods: This study utilized the Total Cancer Care protocol at the University of Utah Huntsman Cancer Institute.

Sub-threshold neuronal activity and the dynamical regime of cerebral cortex.

Cortical neurons exhibit temporally irregular spiking patterns and heterogeneous firing rates. These features arise in model circuits operating in a 'fluctuation-driven regime', in which fluctuations in membrane potentials emerge from the network dynamics. However, it is still debated whether the cortex operates in such a regime.

The effect of an antioxidant gel compared to chlorhexidine during the soft tissue healing process: An animal study.

Background: Prolonged inflammation and oxidative stress can impede healing. To enhance healing efficiency, many solutions have been employed. This is an in vivo study comparing chlorhexidine (CHX) to a commercial antioxidant gel (AO).
