Structural and functional recovery from stress-induced depression is impaired in the context of aging brain. Since investigating the molecular substrates that facilitate behavioral recovery may have important implications for understanding brain plasticity and resilience of individuals, we studied depressive-like behaviors in young and aged rats 6 weeks after chronic stress exposure as a recovery period and examined the levels of TNF-α and IL-6 inflammatory cytokines, NADH oxidase activity, NADPH oxidase, endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress markers, and apoptosis in the hippocampus. Young (3 months old) and aged (22 months old) male Wistar rats were divided into four groups; young control (Young), depression model of young rats that received chronic stress procedure followed by a 6-week recovery period (Young+S), aged control (Aged), and depression model of aged rats that received chronic stress procedure followed by a 6-week recovery period (Aged+S). After the recovery period, aged but not young rats showed depression-like behaviors, evaluated by the sucrose preference test (SPT) and forced swimming test (FST), coincided with the altered levels of TNF-α, IL-6, NADH oxidase activity, NADPH oxidase, GRP78, CHOP, and cleaved caspase-12 in the hippocampus of these animals. These data suggested that oxidative and ER stress-induced apoptosis in the aging hippocampus may affect the recovery-related outcomes after the stress paradigm.

Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) possess the capacity to regenerate the entire hematopoietic system. However, the precise HSC dynamics in the early post-transplantation phase remain an enigma. Clinically, the initial hematopoiesis in the post-transplantation period is critical, necessitating strategies to accelerate hematopoietic recovery.

Recruits are exposed to high levels of psychological and physical stress during the special forces selection period, resulting in dropout rates of up to 80%. To identify who likely drops out, we assessed a group of 249 recruits, every week of the selection program, on their self-efficacy, motivation, experienced psychological and physical stress, and recovery. Using linear regression as well as state-of-the-art machine learning techniques, we aimed to build a model that could meaningfully predict dropout while remaining interpretable.

Optimal fluid strategy for laparoscopic donor nephrectomy (LDN) remains unclear. LDN has been a domain for liberal fluid management to ensure graft perfusion, but this can result in adverse outcomes due to fluid overload. We compared postoperative outcome of living kidney donors according to the intraoperative fluid management.

Background And Objectives: Post-embolization syndrome (PES), characterized by pain, fever, nausea, and vomiting, is a common but non-serious adverse event following arterial embolization, negatively impacting patient satisfaction with the procedure. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of dexamethasone-based prophylactic therapy in preventing PES, as well as to assess the effects of its dosage and timing of administration.
Methods: A systematic search was conducted across three databases, two trial registries, and citation searches to identify relevant studies.

A vast sum of fish waste is being annually discarded by marine fishing industries imposing serious environmental pollution concerns. However, these aquatic discarded matters are captivating sources of collagen, a fibrous protein with eminent social and economic relevance. Collagen is conventionally recovered using outdated complex processes requiring many reagents, multiple steps, and extended periods.
