At 37°C, the structure of poliovirus is dynamic, and internal polypeptides VP4 and N terminus of VP1 (residues 1 to 53) externalize reversibly. An Fab fragment of a monospecific antibody, which binds to residues 39 to 55 of VP1, was utilized to locate the N termini of VP1 in native (160S) particles in this "breathing" state. Fab and virus were mixed and imaged via cryogenic electron microscopy. The resulting reconstruction showed the capsid expands similarly to the irreversibly altered cell entry intermediate (135S) particle, but the N terminus of VP1 is located near the 2-fold axes, instead of the "propeller tip" as in 135S particles.

Progressive central cardiorespiratory rate downregulation and intensifying epilepsy lead to sudden unexpected death in epilepsy in mouse model of the most common human ATP1A3 mutation.
Epilepsia
January 2025
Division of Pediatric Neurology and Developmental Medicine, Department of Pediatrics, Duke University, Durham, North Carolina, USA.
Objective: This study was undertaken to test the following hypotheses in the Atp1a3 mouse (which carries the most common human ATP1A3 (the major subunit of the neuronal Na/K-adenosine triphosphatase [ATPase]) mutation, D801N): sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) occurs during seizures and is due to terminal apneas in some and due to lethal cardiac arrhythmias in others; and Atp1a3 mice have central cardiorespiratory dysregulation and abnormal respiratory drive.
Methods: Comparison was made of littermate wild-type and Atp1a3 groups using (1) simultaneous in vivo video-telemetry recordings of electroencephalogram, electrocardiogram, and breathing; (2) whole-body plethysmography; and (3) hypoglossal nerve recordings.
Results: In Atp1a3 mice, (1) SUDEP consistently occurred during seizures that were more severe than preterminal seizures; (2) seizure clustering occurred in periods preceding SUDEP; (3) slowing of breathing rate (BR) and heart rate was observed preictally before preterminal and terminal seizures; and (4) the sequence during terminal seizures was as follows: bradypnea with bradycardia/cardiac arrhythmias, then terminal apnea, followed by terminal cardiac arrhythmias.
Third trimester fetal 4D flow MRI with motion correction.
Magn Reson Med
January 2025
Department of Radiology & Nuclear Medicine, Amsterdam University Medical Center, University of Amsterdam, Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
Purpose: To correct maternal breathing and fetal bulk motion during fetal 4D flow MRI.
Methods: A Doppler-ultrasound fetal cardiac-gated free-running 4D flow acquisition was corrected post hoc for maternal respiratory and fetal bulk motion in separate automated steps, with optional manual intervention to assess and limit fetal motion artifacts. Compressed-sensing reconstruction with a data outlier rejection algorithm was adapted from previous work.
The impact of brain-systemic oxygenation coupling in sleep-disordered breathing on cognitive function in elderly.
Sci Rep
January 2025
Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, School of Medicine, Stanford University, 401 Quarry Road, Stanford, CA, 94305, USA.
Background: Intermittent hypoxia, a consequence of sleep-disordered breathing (SDB), may contribute to an increased risk of cognitive decline. However, the association between SDB and cognition remains highly variable.
Methods: Fifty-two community-dwelling healthy older adults (28 women) were recruited.

Interoceptive exposure (IE) exercises are underused, especially in people with chronic physical health problems. Secondary data analyses were conducted to examine the use of and acute responses to IE exercises in individuals with and without a history of chronic physical health problem(s). Participants ( = 413; Mage = 38.

Background: Those with neurological disorders like cerebral palsy (CP) may experience an altered impact of social determinates of health on child functioning and well-being. We investigated the relationship between relative social advantage and medical and functional outcomes in a large cohort of children, adolescents and young adults with CP (n = 1269, aged 2-84 years).
Methods: We extracted data from the Cerebral Palsy Research Registry and dichotomized a range of independent factors (income, ethnicity and race) into advantaged and disadvantaged/vulnerable and a range of medical and functional outcomes (gross motor, manual ability, behaviour, breathing, nutritional intake, hearing, seizures, language and vision) and computed odds ratios using logistic regression.
