The neuroparalytic syndrome induced by ammonia was compared with the X-radiation-induced cerebral syndrome. It is suggested that the accumulation of ammonia in the brain and liver of rats is one of the reasons for the similarity of the studied syndromes. The fact that ammonia is bound by glutamic acid indicates that the latter is involved in the mechanisms of ammonia utilization and in the radioprotective properties manifestation.

Background: Butyrate may inhibit SARS-CoV-2 replication and affect the development of COVID-19. However, there have been no systematic comprehensive analyses of the role of butyrate metabolism-related genes (BMRGs) in COVID-19.
Methods: We performed differential expression analysis of BMRGs in the brain, liver and pancreas of COVID-19 patients and controls in GSE157852 and GSE151803.

Chickens are covered with feathers, lack sweat glands, and are sensitive to the thermal environment. Previously, our group bred a novel dwarf chicken strain with frizzled feather, named as dwarf chicken with frizzled feather (DFC). The cumulative growth of the chicken body weight and size were analyzed with 3 mathematical models.

Diffusion Magnetic Resonance Imaging (dMRI) sensitises the MRI signal to spin motion. This includes Brownian diffusion, but also flow across intricate networks of capillaries. This effect, the intra-voxel incoherent motion (IVIM), enables microvasculature characterisation with dMRI, through metrics such as the vascular signal fraction f or the vascular Apparent Diffusion Coefficient (ADC) D.

Background And Aims: Portal vein tumor thrombosis (PVTT), an indicator of clinical metastasis, significantly shortens hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients' lifespan, and no effective treatment has been established. We aimed to illustrate mechanisms underlying PVTT formation and tumor metastasis, and identified potential targets for clinical intervention.
Approach And Results: Multi-omics data of 159 HCC patients (including 37 cases with PVTT) was analyzed to identify contributors to PVTT formation and tumor metastasis.

Purpose Of Review: Supragastric belching (SGB), rumination syndrome (RS), and abdominophrenic dyssynergia are often misunderstood and underdiagnosed syndromes. Better understanding of these conditions is needed to increase recognition and guide treatment.
Recent Findings: Diagnosis is typically made by history and physical examination though supplementary evaluations can be considered in difficult to diagnose cases.
