The authors investigated parameters of the sinus rhythm and of the structure of physiological sleep in 11 cats after ligation of the interventricular artery. ECG of the cerebral cortex, electromyogram, electrooculogram, ECG and respiration were registered, both in the acute period of infarction (4th-10th day of the experiment) and in the subacute and late period (3-12 months). In the acute and subacute period, an abrupt decrease was found in the sinus rhythm variability during the waking-sleep cycle. Propranolol administration (10 mg/kg) reduced in intact animals the heart rate, especially during wakefulness, and the rhythm variability during wakefulness and sleep. Suppression of sinus rhythm automatism due to propranolol in animals with experimental MI was most pronounced in the acute period during REM sleep, in the subacute period during wakefulness. In the acute period of MI, the sleep structure was disorganized, in the subacute period it got partly normalized. Protracted propranolol administration in the subacute period of MI led to disturbances in the sleep structure, with reduced REM sleep and prolongation of stage I-II (superficial sleep).

This study was developed with the goal of exploring the impact of capsaicin on ruminal fermentation and ruminal bacteria in beef cattle affected by high-grain diet-induced subacute ruminal acidosis (SARA). In total, 18 healthy Simmental crossbred cattle were randomized into three separate groups ( = 6/group): (1) control diet (CON; forage-to-concentrate ratio = 80:20); (2) high-grain diet (SARA; forage-to-concentrate ratio = 20:80); and (3) high-grain diet supplemented with capsaicin (CAP; 250 mg/cattle/day). The study was conducted over a 60-day period.

: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) occurs after a sudden mechanical force to the skull and represents a significant public health problem. Initial brain trauma triggers secondary pathophysiological processes that induce structural and functional impairment of the central nervous system, even in the regions distant to the lesion site. Later in life, these changes can be manifested as neurodegenerative sequalae that commonly involve proteinopathies, such as transactive DNA-binding protein 43 (TDP-43).

January 2025
International Collaboration on Repair Discoveries (ICORD), Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
Introduction/aims: Upper limb paralysis is arguably the most limiting consequence of cervical spinal cord injury (cSCI). There is limited knowledge regarding the early structural changes of muscles implicated in grasp/pinch function and upper extremity nerve transfer surgeries. We evaluated: (1) muscle size and echo intensity (EI) in subacute cSCI (2-6 months) and (2) the influence of lower motor neuron (LMN) damage on these ultrasound parameters.

Background: In humans, most spontaneous recovery from motor impairment after stroke occurs in the first 3 months. Studies in animal models show higher responsiveness to training over a similar time-period. Both phenomena are often attributed to a milieu of heightened plasticity, which may share some mechanistic overlap with plasticity associated with normal motor learning.

Background: Painful hemiplegic shoulder (PHS) is a prevalent and challenging complication following a stroke and can significantly impair a patient's engagement in rehabilitation, leading to poorer functional outcomes and extended hospital stays. This retrospective cohort study aims to investigate the incidence, etiology, and management of PHS in stroke inpatients, focusing on the effectiveness of various therapeutic interventions.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of subacute stroke inpatients who developed PHS during rehabilitation at a single center.
