Acetonitrile was used to modify the binding parameters of glucocorticoid-receptor complexes. Acetonitrile (8%) caused a striking increase of the rate constant of dissociation of non-transformed [3H]triamcinolone and [3H]RU 486 receptor complexes. The latter complexes appeared significantly less sensitive to acetonitrile than the former. Similar data were obtained for heat-transformed [3H]triamcinolone and RU 486-receptor complexes purified at a 90% relative homogeneity by DEAE-Trisacryl (diethylaminoethyl) chromatography. The rate constant of dissociation of both steroid-receptor complexes decreased after transformation. The dissociation of non-transformed receptor complexes by acetonitrile was reversible, and an exchange assay allowing 75% to 85% steroid exchange is described. However, the dissociation of transformed receptor complexes appeared completely irreversible and precluded the design of any exchange assay.

Rationale: Locked-in syndrome (and its variant, completely locked-in state) generally has a high mortality rate in the acute setting; however, when induced by conditions such as acute inflammatory polyradiculoneuropathy, it may well be curable such that an attempt at cure should be systematically sought by clinicians.
Patient Concerns: A 52-year-old man presented with acute tetraparesia and areflexia, initially diagnosed as Guillain-Barré syndrome. Despite appropriate treatment, his condition deteriorated, evolving into a completely locked-in state.

Social media are Internet-based services that allow participation in online communities and exchanges. Considering the high and increasing statistics of the use of social media all over the world and its impact on people's lives, the present study aimed to determine the relationship between social media and nutritional attitudes and body image shame among Iranian female students. This cross-sectional study was performed on 201 female student of Tehran University of Medical Sciences in Tehran, Iran from May to December 2023.

Background & Objectives: The context, mechanism, and outcome (CMO) framework is meant to identify specific contextual factors (C) related to organizational and program structure that trigger certain mechanisms (M) involving the unique characteristics of a program, leading to specific outcomes (O). The purpose of this study was to explore the contextual underpinnings, operational processes, and resultant effects of the faculty mentorship program at AKU-SONAM. This exploration involved the context in terms of organizational culture, mechanisms examining processes such as communication between mentors and mentees, quality of relationships, the challenges encountered, and the program's adaptability to cope up while, outcomes encompassed improvements in interpersonal relationships, career advancement, and skill development.

Population receptive field (pRF) mapping is a quantitative functional MRI (fMRI) analysis method that links visual field positions with specific locations in the visual cortex. A common preprocessing step in pRF analyses involves projecting volumetric fMRI data onto the cortical surface, typically leading to upsampling of the data. This process may introduce biases in the resulting pRF parameters.
