The differential diagnostic importance of the thoraco-abdominal manifestation of diabetic neuropathy, with special reference to the neurophysiological findings is underlined. The cases of six patients are described who suffered from severe, burning pain of varying location (area of the lower thoracic aperture, lower abdomen, scapulae, back). In all six patients pathological spontaneous activity of different location and intensity could be found bilaterally in the paravertebral muscles. Their segmental location correlated with the individual experience of pain.

Temperature-Dependent Rotation of Protonated Methyl Groups in Otherwise Deuterated Proteins Modulates DEER Distance Distributions.
Appl Magn Reson

Unlabelled: Temperature-dependent DEER effects are observed as a function of methyl rotation by either leucine- or nitroxide-specific protonated methyl groups in an otherwise deuterated background. Both species induce a site-specific enhancement in the apparent relaxation of the paramagnetic nitroxide label. The presence of a single protonated methyl group in close proximity (4-10 Å) to only one of the two nitroxide rotamer ensembles in AviTagged immunoglobulin-binding B domain of protein A results in a selective and substantial decrease in , manifested by differential decay of the peak intensities in the bimodal distance distribution as a function of the total dipolar evolution time, temperature, or both.

Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DC) is a syndrome of heart failure occurring in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM), independent of other risk factors. It is a relatively underdiagnosed condition with a prolonged subclinical phase. There is an abundance of studies put forward to explain the underlying pathogenic mechanisms observed in this condition.

Research in aging often refers to animal models, particularly C57BL/6J (B6J) mice, considered gold standard. However, B6J mice are distributed by different suppliers, which results in divers substrains exhibiting notable phenotypic differences. To ensure a suitable phenotype of cardiac aging, we performed heart analyses of young (5 months) and old B6J mice (24 months) from two substrains: B6JRj (Janvier) and B6JCrl mice (Charles River).

Introduction: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune and inflammatory disorder that leads to cartilage and bone deterioration. This inflammatory activity causes extra-articular manifestations, including the acceleration of the atherosclerotic process. However, the exact causes of this accelerated process are under investigation.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 and long COVID can present with nonspecific symptoms resembling adrenal insufficiency. This similarity of symptoms means that adrenal insufficiency hidden among nonspecific manifestations of COVID-19 may pass underrecognized. We present the case of a 53-year-old Japanese man who developed isolated adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH) deficiency (IAD) and acute adrenal insufficiency after COVID-19, thus mimicking prolonged symptoms of COVID-19.
