Published: September 2023

This review highlights the existing knowledge and data that explain the physiologic impacts of stress, especially pertaining to neurobiology, and how these impacts differ by sex. Furthermore, this review explains the benefits of interventions aimed at preventing or mitigating the adverse effects of stress, because of both the significant toll of stress on the body and the disproportionate impact of these changes experienced by women.

Objectives: The aims of the study are to predict lung function impairment in patients with connective tissue disease (CTD)-associated interstitial lung disease (ILD) through computed tomography (CT) quantitative analysis parameters based on CT deep learning model and density threshold method and to assess the severity of the disease in patients with CTD-ILD.

Methods: We retrospectively collected chest high-resolution CT images and pulmonary function test results from 105 patients with CTD-ILD between January 2021 and December 2023 (patients staged according to the gender-age-physiology [GAP] system), including 46 males and 59 females, with a median age of 64 years. Additionally, we selected 80 healthy controls (HCs) with matched sex and age, who showed no abnormalities in their chest high-resolution CT.

Objective: Patient characteristics, iodine injection, and scanning parameters can impact the quality and consistency of contrast enhancement of hepatic parenchyma in CT imaging. Improving the consistency and adequacy of contrast enhancement can enhance diagnostic accuracy and reduce clinical practice variability, with added positive implications for safety and cost-effectiveness in the use of contrast medium. We developed a clinical tool that uses patient attributes (height, weight, sex, age) to predict hepatic enhancement and suggest alternative injection/scanning parameters to optimize the procedure.

Olfaction with legs-Spiders use wall-pore sensilla for pheromone detection.

Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A

General and Systematic Zoology, Zoological Institute and Museum, University of Greifswald, Greifswald 17489, Germany.

The sense of smell is a central sensory modality of most terrestrial species. However, our knowledge of olfaction is based on vertebrates and insects. In contrast, little is known about the chemosensory world of spiders and nothing about how they perform olfaction despite their important ecological role.

Stroke severity shapes extracellular vesicle profiles and their impact on the cerebral endothelial cells.

J Physiol

January 2025

Vascular Physiology Laboratory, Group of Research and Innovation in Vascular Health, Department of Basic Sciences, Faculty of Basic Sciences, Universidad del Bío-Bío, Chillán, Chile.

Ischaemic stroke is a leading cause of death and disability. Circulating extracellular vesicles (EVs) post-stroke may help brain endothelial cells (BECs) counter ischaemic injury. However data on how EVs from ischaemic stroke patients, considering injury severity, affect these cells are limited.
