Background: Ferroptosis is associated with alcoholic hepatitis (AH); however, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear.
Methods: Changes in iron content and oxidative stress in AH patients and in vivo and in vitro models were analyzed. Iron homeostasis pathways in the livers of patients with AH were investigated using RNA sequencing.
Successful reactive balance control requires coordinated modulation of hip, knee, and ankle torques. Stabilizing joint torques arise from neurally-mediated feedforward tonic muscle activation that modulates muscle short-range stiffness, which provides instantaneous "mechanical feedback" to the perturbation. In contrast, neural feedback pathways activate muscles in response to sensory input, generating joint torques after a delay.

Advanced gastric and gastroesophageal junction cancer (G/GEJC) poses significant therapeutic challenges. Immune checkpoint inhibitors, particularly targeting programmed cell death ligand-1 (PD-L1), have emerged as promising agents to enhance patient outcomes. This meta-analysis evaluates the efficacy of PD-L1 inhibitors compared to chemotherapy in patients with advanced G/GEJC characterised by varying combined positive scores (CPS).

This review summarizes the advancement in cognitive neuroscience aimed at determining cognitive processes and brain structural and functional correlates involved in dance or creative movement, as well as the cognitive processes which accompany such activities. We synthesize the evidence for the use of cognitive, motor, and cognitive-motor function in dance as well as dance's potential application in neurological therapy and neurorehabilitation.
