Responses arising in thin ventral rootlets and antidromic discharges of single sympathetic preganglionic neurons (SPNs) in T(3) and L(2) segments of the cat spinal cord were recorded simultaneously during stimulation of the white rami communicantes in the same segments. It was shown that in addition to the classical lateral horn SPN with B-axons (conduction velocities 3-10 m/sec) there are also ventral horn SPNs which have B-axons with faster conduction velocities (10-20 m/sec) and intermediate zone SPNs with C-axons (conduction velocities 0.98-1.7 m/sec).

Purpose: Acute fatty liver of pregnancy (AFLP) is a severe complication that can occur in the third trimester or immediately postpartum, characterized by rapid hepatic failure. This study aims to explore the changes in portal vein blood flow velocity and liver function during pregnancy, which may assist in the early diagnosis and management of AFLP.

Methods: This longitudinal study was conducted at a tertiary healthcare center with participants recruited from routine antenatal check-ups.

Background: Patients with arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ACM) due to pathogenic variants in , the gene for the desmosomal protein plakophilin-2, are being enrolled in gene therapy trials designed to replace the defective allele via adeno-associated viral (AAV) transduction of cardiac myocytes. Evidence from experimental systems and patients indicates that ventricular myocytes in ACM have greatly reduced electrical coupling at gap junctions and reduced Na current density. In previous AAV gene therapy trials, <50% of ventricular myocytes have generally been transduced.

The degeneration of midbrain dopamine (DA) neurons disrupts the neural control of natural behavior, such as walking, posture, and gait in Parkinson's disease. While some aspects of motor symptoms can be managed by dopamine replacement therapies, others respond poorly. Recent advancements in machine learning-based technologies offer opportunities for unbiased segmentation and quantification of natural behavior in both healthy and diseased states.

In patients with acute brain injury (ABI), optimizing cerebral perfusion parameters relies on multimodal monitoring. This include data from systemic monitoring-mean arterial pressure (MAP), arterial carbon dioxide tension (PaCO), arterial oxygen saturation (SaO), hemoglobin levels (Hb), and temperature-as well as neurological monitoring-intracranial pressure (ICP), cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP), and transcranial Doppler (TCD) velocities. We hypothesized that these parameters alone were not sufficient to assess the risk of cerebral ischemia.

Nailfold microcirculation examination is crucial for the early differential diagnosis of diseases and indicating their severity. In particular, panoramic nailfold flow velocity measurements can provide direct quantitative indicators for the study of vascular diseases and technical support to assess vascular health. Previously, nailfold imaging equipment was limited by a small field of view.
