The extracellular matrix (ECM) of spinal meninge tissue closely resembles the wealthy ECM content of the brain and spinal cord. The ECM is typically acquired through the process of decellularizing tissues. Nevertheless, the decellularization process of the brain and spinal cord is challenging due to their high-fat content, in contrast to the spinal meninges.

Aim: This commentary positions the papers with respect to the goals and methods of educational neuroscience, placing them on a continuum of approaches from basic research to applied intervention.
Procedure: We argue that a focus on the brain matters for teachers because it increases understanding of how learning works and the factors that influence learning outcomes and student well-being without being reductionist.
Article Synopsis
- This research focuses on improving gait analysis for patients with cerebral palsy (CP) by predicting ground reaction forces (GRF) using kinematic data instead of traditional force plates.
- A convolutional neural network approach was used to analyze a large dataset containing both typically developed individuals and CP patients, achieving promising accuracy in GRF prediction.
- While the study shows machine learning's potential for this application, there are limitations, such as the need for further model improvements and the lack of upper limb data that affect immediate clinical use.
Extrapulmonary tuberculosis (EPTB) is an important public health problem due to its diverse clinical presentations, diagnostic complexities, and significant impact on patient outcomes and public health. Our study aimed to understand the sociodemographic, clinical, and laboratory characteristics as well as diagnostic and treatment modalities of adult patients with EPTB. This is a multicentric retrospective study that covers patients with EPTB cases followed up from January 2015 to December 2022 among tuberculosis (TB) dispensaries and Infectious Diseases and Clinical Microbiology clinics of 15 hospitals located in various regions of Turkey.

It has been claimed that a deficiency in the immune system can significantly affect the severity of COVID-19 disease. It is important that the levels of essential elements and vitamin D are at certain levels for the healthy functioning of the immune system.
