Circadian rhythms have been shown in the subthalamic nucleus (STN) in Parkinson's disease (PD), but only a few studies have focused on the globus pallidus internus (GPi). This retrospective study investigates GPi circadian rhythms in a large cohort of subjects with PD (130 recordings from 93 subjects) with GPi activity chronically recorded in their home environment. We found a significant change in GPi activity between daytime and nighttime in most subjects (82.4%), with a reduction in GPi activity at nighttime in 56.2% of recordings and an increase in activity in 26.2%. GPi activity in higher frequency bands ( > 20 Hz) was more likely to decrease at night and in patients taking extended-release levodopa medication. Our results suggest that circadian fluctuations in the GPi vary across individuals and that increased power at night might be due to the reemergence of pathological neural activity. These findings should be considered to ensure successful implementation of adaptive neurostimulation paradigms in the real-world.

Background: Metabolism alteration is a common complication of rheumatic arthritis (RA). This work investigated the reason behind RA-caused triglyceride (TG) changes.
Methods: Fresh RA patients' whole blood was transfused into NOD-SCID mice.

Lipids are essential sources of carbon and energy during flaxseed germination; however, the dynamic changes in key lipid metabolites, pathways, and their locations remain unclear. This study revealed that oil bodies migrated from well-distributed locations to the cell wall between 0-2 d, with cell contours gradually blurring during 2-3 d, initiating the germination process. Subsequently, the order of oil body migration was leaf > stem > root during 4-7 d.

The basal ganglia (BG) play a key role in decision-making, preventing impulsive actions in some contexts while facilitating fast adaptations in others. The specific contributions of different BG structures to this nuanced behavior remain unclear, particularly under varying situations of noisy and conflicting information that necessitate ongoing adjustments in the balance between speed and accuracy. Theoretical accounts suggest that dynamic regulation of the amount of evidence required to commit to a decision (a dynamic "decision boundary") may be necessary to meet these competing demands.

Background: Among cardiovascular diseases, adult patients with congenital heart disease represent a population that has been continuously increasing, which is mainly due to improvement of the pathophysiological framing, including the development of surgical and reanimation techniques. However, approximately 20% of these patients will require surgery in adulthood and 40% of these cases will necessitate reintervention for residual defects or sequelae of childhood surgery. In this field, cardiac rehabilitation (CR) in the postsurgical phase has an important impact on the patient by improving psychophysical and clinical recovery in reducing fatigue and dyspnea to ultimately increase survival.
