Human cortical high-gamma power scales with movement rate in healthy participants and stroke survivors.

Motor cortical high-gamma oscillations (60-90 Hz) occur at movement onset and are spatially focused over the contralateral primary motor cortex. Although high-gamma oscillations are widely recognized for their significance in human motor control, their precise function on a cortical level remains elusive. Importantly, their relevance in human stroke pathophysiology is unknown.

Targeting chromosomally unstable tumors with a selective KIF18A inhibitor.

Chromosome instability is a prevalent vulnerability of cancer cells that has yet to be fully exploited therapeutically. To identify genes uniquely essential to chromosomally unstable cells, we mined the Cancer Dependency Map for genes essential in tumor cells with high levels of copy number aberrations. We identify and validate KIF18A, a mitotic kinesin, as a vulnerability of chromosomally unstable cancer cells.

Overlooked and underserved: how healthcare fails men in the pursuit of equity.

Purpose Of Review: Men face distinctive health-related challenges as a result of biological, behavioral, and sociocultural factors. In addition, the modern healthcare system does not offer men equal opportunities and options to ensure sex-specific access and delivery to health services. Men's health concerns are, indeed, often not addressed or even forgotten.

Interaction Between Sclerostin and Mast Cells in Fibro-Osseous Lesions of the Jaws.

Objective: To assess the sclerostin, β-catenin, and tryptase expression in fibro-osseous lesions (FOL) of the jaws.

Subjects And Methods: Immunohistochemistry analysis was performed for these proteins on FOL and non-lesional bone. The sclerostin-positive cells were scored from 0 (no expression) to 3 (high expression).

Can screening and decontamination procedures performed on an outpatient basis reduce the colonization with Staphylococcus aureus and mitigate associated complications in patients undergoing elective hospital procedures? A controlled intervention study (STAUfrei).

Background: Staphylococcus aureus (SA) colonisation increases the risk of wound infections in surgical procedures. Prevention strategies to date have focused primarily on the hospital, although there are recommendations for pre-hospital decontamination at home, which can be performed by patients themselves. The current study aimed to shift the process of screening and decontamination of SA (methicillin-resistant S.
