Modified funneling arterial microanastomosis in large vessels size mismatch.

The "Modified Funneling Method" is an easy and reliable technique to overcome vessel diameter discrepancies. By exploring new techniques of anastomosis, we can help microvascular surgeons improve microvascular outcomes and overcome vessel discrepancies.

Sex-specific behavioral and thalamo-accumbal circuit adaptations after oxycodone abstinence.

Opioid use disorder is marked by a progressive change in the motivation to administer the drug even in the presence of negative consequences. After long periods of abstinence, the urge to return to taking the drug intensifies over time, known as incubation of craving. Conditioned responses to drug-related stimuli, can acquire motivational properties and exert control over motivated behaviors leading to relapse.

Single-Task and Dual-Task Gait Performance After Sport-Related Concussion: A Machine Learning Statistical Approach.

Background: This study evaluated 2 different dual-task (DT) conditions during tandem gait (TG) to predict sport-related concussion (SRC) diagnosis.

Hypothesis: The best (fastest) single-task (ST) gait will differ between groups (controls vs SRC; baseline vs SRC), with auditory pure switching task (APST) response rate being the most important behavioral variable to aid prediction of SRC.

Study Design: Cohort design.

Kir6.2-K channels alter glycolytic flux to modulate cortical activity, arousal, and sleep-wake homeostasis.

Unlabelled: Metabolism plays an important role in the maintenance of vigilance states (e.g. wake, NREM, and REM).

Minimal Detectable Change for the ImPACT Subtests at Baseline.

Objective: To establish the minimal detectable change (MDC) of the subtests that comprise the composite scores from remotely administered Immediate Post-Concussion Assessment and Cognitive Testing (ImPACT) baselines.

Method: Remote ImPACT baseline data from 172 (male = 45, female = 127) National Collegiate Athletic Association Division I student-athletes from the 2020 and 2021 athletic preseasons were used to calculate the MDC at the 95%, 90%, and 80% confidence intervals (CIs) for all subtest scores used to generate the four core composite scores and the impulse control composite.

Results: The MDCs for the verbal memory subtests at the 95% CI were 10.
