Background: The medial prefrontal cortex plays a crucial role in regulating consciousness. However, the specific functions of its excitatory and inhibitory networks during anesthesia remain uncertain. Here we explored the hypothesis that somatostatin interneurons in the medial prefrontal cortex enhance the effects of sevoflurane anesthesia by increasing GABA transmission to pyramidal neurons.

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) for essential tremor is remarkably effective, leading to over 80% reduction in standardized tremor ratings. However, for certain types of tremor, such as those accompanied by ataxia or dystonia, conventional DBS targets have shown poor efficacy. Various rationales for using cerebellar DBS stimulation to treat tremor have been advanced, but the varied approaches leave many questions unanswered: which anatomic target, stimulation settings, and indications seem most promising for this emerging approach.

Background: Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) evaluating the efficacy of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) for the management of lateral epicondylitis (LE) have been characterized by substantial variability in reported outcomes. The source of this heterogeneity is uncertain.
Purpose: To determine the effect of estimated platelet concentration on the efficacy of PRP for the management of LE.
PI31 ( P roteasome Inhibitor of 31 ,000 Da) is a 20S proteasome-binding protein originally identified as an inhibitor of 20S proteasome activity. Although recent studies have provided a detailed structural basis for this activity, the physiologic significance of PI31-mediated proteasome inhibition remains uncertain and alternative cellular roles for PI31 have been described. Here we report a role for PI31 as a positive regulator for the assembly of the 20S immuno-proteasome (20Si), a compositionally and functionally distinct isoform of the proteasome that is poorly inhibited by PI31.

Patient engagement and shared decision-making (SDM) between patients and clinicians is the foundation of patient-centered care. It aims to reach a treatment option that fits the patient's preference and is guideline-concordant. We sought to evaluate the possible causes and outcomes of patient's non-guideline-concordant care choices.
