Targeted cryotherapy of lesions in difficult to access location is a challenging scenario. We propose the use of add-on tips fashioned from disposable micropipettes, needle caps, and syringe barrels as a solution.

Efficacy and working mechanisms of a Go/No-Go task-based inhibition training in smoking: A randomized-controlled trial.

Objective: Deficits in inhibitory control contribute to smoking behavior. Inhibitory control training (ICT), which involves repeatedly inhibiting responses to general or substance-related stimuli, shows promise in reducing problematic substance use. This preregistered randomized-controlled trial is the first to investigate the efficacy of general and smoking-specific Go/No-Go task-based ICT on smoking behavior compared to control groups receiving no ICT.

Article Synopsis
- Hypoxia is increasingly recognized as a key factor that helps brain cells adapt to low oxygen levels and reduced metabolism, leading to what the authors call "functional hypoxia."
- The study investigates the effects of combined mild inspiratory and functional hypoxia during motor-cognitive training in a group of 20 participants, including healthy individuals and those with depression or autism spectrum disorder.
- Initial findings suggest that this training under low oxygen conditions is well-tolerated and may improve well-being, cognitive performance, physical fitness, and affect immune cell responses, warranting further research with a controlled trial to better assess the benefits.
Arctic marine litter: Composition and sources investigated by citizen scientist "super-users".

Combating the challenge of marine litter requires an understanding of its distribution and accumulation for mitigative measures, and its sources for targeted preventative measures. The latter is generally not well assessed through most beach litter registration protocols available to citizen scientists. Deep Dives were specifically developed to provide management with additional relevant data on the sources of and behaviours leading to littering in the Arctic.

Background: Delivering HD-tDCS on individual motor hotspot with optimal electric fields could overcome challenges of stroke heterogeneity, potentially facilitating neural activation and improving motor function for stroke survivors. However, the intervention effect of this personalized HD-tDCS has not been explored on post-stroke motor recovery. In this study, we aim to evaluate whether targeting individual motor hotspot with HD-tDCS followed by EMG-driven robotic hand training could further facilitate the upper extremity motor function for chronic stroke survivors.

Ischemic stroke is followed by an increased susceptibility to bacterial infections, which exacerbate histological stroke outcome, neurological deficits and memory impairment due to increased neuroinflammation and neurotransmitter dysfunction. Pharmacological activation of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors was suggested to mitigate brain inflammatory responses in ischemic stroke. The functional responses associated with nicotinic acetylcholine receptor activation were unknown.
