A substance or substances capable of increasing the firing rate of primary auditory fibers is detectable in the perilymph of frogs and guinea pigs subjected to sound stimulation. The increase in firing rate occurs in single units of the frog auditory nerve after perilymph obtained from frogs or guinea pigs during sound stimulation is infused into the frog perilymphatic sac. Perilymph collected from animals maintained in silence failed to cause an increase in firing rate of primary auditory fibers of the frog.

Multiple myeloma (MM) is a rare hematologic malignancy with a 5-year survival rate of 52 %. For transplant-eligible MM patients, high-dose chemotherapy followed by autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT) is recommended. Given the complexities of the ASCT procedure, understanding patient-specific factors and their impact on treatment decisions is essential.

Aim The primary objective of the study was to evaluate the mid-term implant survivability, rate of revisions, and clinical and functional outcomes following patella resurfacing during total knee arthroplasty (TKA) utilizing posterior stabilized (PS) total knee system (TKS). Methods A prospective, single-arm, multi-center, post-marketing surveillance encompassed patients with end-stage primary knee osteoarthritis (OA) or inflammatory arthritis. The time points of the study included baseline, six weeks, six months, one year, and three years post-operatively.

Background: The multi-day Boston Remote Assessment of Neurocognitive Health (BRANCH) is a remote, web-based assessment designed to capture the earliest cognitive changes in the preclinical stage of Alzheimer's disease (AD). It has been validated in unimpaired older adults, but as individuals progress on the AD continuum, assessments need to remain feasible and valid at different clinical stages. The focus of this study was to assess feasibility and validity of multi-day BRANCH in participants with and without cognitive impairment.

One of the potential risk factors of recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV)-based gene therapy is insertional mutagenesis, which has been associated with the development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in rAAV-treated neonatal mice. The objective of this study was to investigate if well-established in vitro cell transformation assays (CTA) in mouse cell lines can detect AAV2 or AAVdj-mediated cell transformation. Since AAV integration at the Rian locus in neonatal mice has been implicated in AAV-mediated HCC, an rAAV vector specifically targeting the mouse Rian locus and an additional rAAV vector previously shown to cause HCC in neonatal mice were both tested for the induction of cell transformation in NIH3T3 cells.

We estimated the healthcare burden of narcolepsy in Japan using data from the Japan Medical Data Center health insurance claims database.
Methods: This was a retrospective analysis of clinical burden, healthcare resource utilization, and costs among incident narcolepsy cases and matched controls identified between January 1, 2014 and December 31, 2019.
