2-Amino-5-phosphonopentanoic acid (100 and 200 mg/kg) and 2-amino-7-phosphonoheptanoic acid (50-200 mg/kg i.p.) significantly elevated the threshold for maximal electroconvulsions in mice, the latter being more effective in this respect. In contrast, neither alpha-aminoadipic acid nor L-glutamic acid diethyl ester (up to 200 and 400 mg/kg, respectively) offered any protection. The present results add further evidence to support the importance of the blockade of N-methyl-D-aspartic acid receptor-mediated events in the suppression of seizure activity.

Background: A variety of clinically important benchmarks of success (CIBS) have been defined for total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) to quantify success. However, it is unclear how the preoperative status of the patient influences their likelihood of achieving each CIBS.
Questions/purposes: (1) What proportion of patients achieve commonly used CIBS after TSA? (2) Is there a relationship between a patients' preoperative function and their probability of achieving different CIBS? (3) Does there exist preoperative ranges for each outcome measure that are associated with greater achievement of CIBS?
Methods: We retrospectively queried a multicenter shoulder arthroplasty database for primary anatomic TSA (aTSA) and reverse TSA (rTSA).

Transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) has been tested as a strategy to facilitate fear extinction learning based on the hypothesis that taVNS increases central noradrenergic activity. Four studies out of six found taVNS to enhance extinction learning especially at the beginning of extinction. Facilitatory effects of taVNS were mainly observed in US expectancy, less in fear-potentiated startle (FPS), and not in the skin conductance response (SCR).

Objective: This study compared the effects of two different warm-up protocols (normal vs. priming) on the oxygen plateau ([Formula: see text]) incidence rate during a ramp test. It also compared the cardiopulmonary responses during the ramp test and subsequent verification phase.

This study aimed to quantify changes in weight loss over time in adolescents undergoing MBS and identify preoperative predictors of weight loss.
Methods: This was a prospective, observational cohort study of 73 adolescents (12-19 years) living with obesity undergoing MBS.

Intelligent systems are those in which behavior is determined by environmental inputs, and actions are taken to maximize the probability of achieving specific goals. Intelligent systems are widely applied across various fields, particularly in distributed intelligent systems. At the same time, due to the extensive interaction with user data, intelligent systems face significant challenges regarding security.
