Background: Intravenous glucose infusion into ambulatory dogs results in attenuation of exercise-induced increase of both rectal and thigh muscle temperatures.
Hypothesis: That glucose (Glu) infusion attenuates excessive increase in body temperature from restricted activity during confinement deconditioning.
Methods: Rectal (Tre) and quadriceps femoris muscle (Tmu) temperatures, metabolic rate, and blood samples were taken before and after 90 min of moderate treadmill exercise (mean = 3.1 +/- SE 0.2 W.kg-1) at Tdb = 21 +/- 1 degrees C and 45-60% rh from 7 male mongrel dogs (19.6 +/- SD 3.0 kg) with i.v. infusion of 40% Glu in 0.9% NaCl (0.07 ml.kg-1.min-1) or 0.9% NaCl (0.07 mg.g-1.min-1) both before and after 8 weeks of cage confinement.
Results: Mean (+/- SE) delta Tre (90-0 min) were: NaCl.after = 1.8 +/- 0.4 degrees C vs. 1.4 +/- 0.3 degrees C (NS) before confinement; Glu.after = 1.3 +/- 0.2 degrees C vs. 0.9 +/- 0.3 degrees C (p < 0.02) before confinement. Comparable delta Tmu (90-0 min) data were: NaCl.after = 2.5 +/- 0.4 degrees C vs. 1.9 +/- 0.4 degrees C (NS) before; Glu.after = 1.6 +/- 0.2 degrees C vs. 1.4 +/- 0.4 degrees C (NS) before. Glucose infusion significantly attenuated the rise of Tmu (1.9 degrees vs. 1.4 degrees C) only before confinement, but attenuated the rise of Tre both before (1.4 degrees vs. 0.9 degrees C) and after (1.8 degrees vs. 1.3 degrees C) confinement. Body temperature attenuation was not related to change in plasma volume, osmolality, [Glu], [lactate], [cortisol], or heat production with constant VO2.
Conclusion: Intravenous glucose infusion attenuates the rise in exercise core temperature in deconditioned dogs by a yet undefined mechanism.

Objectives: As is well known, plaque morphology plays an important role in the hemodynamics of stenotic coronary arteries, thus their clinic outcomes. However, so far, there has been no research on how the cross-sectional shape of a stenotic lumen affects its hemodynamics. Therefore, this study aims to explore the impact of plaque cross-sectional shape on coronary hemodynamics under mild or moderate stenosis conditions (diameter stenosis degree ≤50 %).

Objective: The goal of this study was to assess the additive value of considering type 2 diabetes (T2D) polygenic risk score (PRS) in addition to family history for T2D prediction.
Research Design And Methods: Data were obtained from the All of Us (AoU) research database. First-degree T2D family history was self-reported on the personal family history health questionnaire.

Introduction: Cardiac amyloidosis typically causes restrictive cardiomyopathy, in which the impairment of diastolic function is dominant. Echocardiography provides prognostic information through some important parameters: left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and global longitudinal strain (GLS). However, LVEF often remains preserved despite disease progression, and GLS is not routinely performed as it is limited by suboptimal image quality.

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) hold great potential in gas separation and storage. Graph neural networks (GNNs) have proven effective in exploring structure-property relationships and discovering new MOF structures. Unlike molecular graphs, crystal graphs must consider the periodicity and patterns.

Reward prediction errors (RPEs) quantify the difference between expected and actual rewards, serving to refine future actions. Although reinforcement learning (RL) provides ample theoretical evidence suggesting that the long-term accumulation of these error signals improves learning efficiency, it remains unclear whether the brain uses similar mechanisms. To explore this, we constructed RL-based theoretical models and used multiregional two-photon calcium imaging in the mouse dorsal cortex.
