Regeneration of the corticospinal tract (CST) is considered a therapeutic target to achieve improved recovery of motor function after spinal cord injury (SCI), which is an incurable CNS damage that affects millions of people. Exercise training is effective in improving multiple functions in spinal cord-injured patients. However, the effects of exercise training on axon regeneration have not been sufficiently reported.

Australian parents' attitudes, perceptions and supply of alcohol to adolescents: a national cross-sectional survey.

Health Promot Int

December 2024

Centre for Alcohol Policy Research, School of Psychology and Public Health, La Trobe University, Kingsbury Drive, Bundoora, Victoria 3086, Australia.

Parental supply of alcohol to adolescents is associated with increased risk of subsequent adolescent alcohol use and harms, so identifying factors associated with parents' decision-making is critical. This study examined how parental supply is associated with attitudes toward adolescent alcohol use, perceived norms of parental supply, perceived behavioural control and perceived acceptable age to drink alcohol. A total of 1197 Australian parents with children aged 12-17 years completed an online cross-sectional survey assessing their parental supply behaviours, attitudes and perceptions in April 2022.

Background The prognostic value of coronary CT angiography (CTA)-derived quantitative flow ratio (CT-QFR) remains unknown. Purpose To determine the prognostic value of CT-QFR in predicting the long-term outcomes of patients with suspected coronary artery disease (CAD) in comparison with invasive coronary angiography (ICA)/SPECT and to determine the influence of prior percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) on the prognostic value of CT-QFR. Materials and Methods In this secondary analysis of the prospective international CORE320 study, 379 participants who underwent coronary CTA and SPECT within 60 days before ICA between November 2009 and July 2011 were included for follow-up.

Identifying and Quantifying Borate Environments in Borosilicate Glasses: B NMR-Peak Assignments Assisted by Double-Quantum Experiments.

J Phys Chem B

December 2024

Physical Chemistry Division, Department of Materials and Environmental Chemistry, Arrhenius Laboratory, Stockholm University, Stockholm SE-106 91, Sweden.

We discuss the prospects for accurate B magic-angle-spinning (MAS) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectral deconvolutions for reaching beyond the readily extracted borate speciations offered by the integrated resonances of the coexisting B and B species of the respective BO and BO network groups in borosilicate (BS) glasses. We critically review hitherto proposed B and B NMR-peak assignments relating to their neighboring Si, B and B species, as quantified by MAS NMR spectral deconvolution. Guidance to these resonance assignments was offered from double-quantum-single-quantum (2Q-1Q) B MAS NMR experiments that inform about the B-O-B network linkages.

Early studies attempting interspecies communication with great apes trained to use sign language and Augmented Interspecies Communication (AIC) devices were limited by methodological and technological constraints, as well as restrictive sample sizes. Evidence for animals' intentional production of symbols was met with considerable criticisms which could not be easily deflected with existing data. More recently, thousands of pet dogs have been trained with AIC devices comprising soundboards of buttons that can be pressed to produce prerecorded human words or phrases.

MEN1703 is a first-in-class, oral, Type I dual PIM/FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 inhibitor (FLT3i) investigated in a Phase I/II DIAMOND-01 trial in patients with acute myeloid leukaemia (AML). Gilteritinib is a highly potent and selective oral FLT3i approved for the treatment of relapsed/refractory AML with FLT3 mutations. Although gilteritinib showed strong single-agent activity in FLT3-mutated AML, the development of gilteritinib resistance limits response durability, indicating the importance of novel combination strategies to improve disease outcome.

Breast milk, a fundamental component of infant nutrition, may serve as a reservoir for various metal(loid)s, which could pose significant health risks to infants of mothers exposed to toxic metals. Human exposure levels to metal(loid)s vary across regions, influenced by differences in diet, lifestyle, and environmental factors. This systematic review compares metal(loid) concentrations in breast milk from Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) and Mediterranean Europe (Med.

Voltage imaging is a powerful technique for studying neuronal activity, but its effectiveness is often constrained by low signal-to-noise ratios (SNR). Traditional denoising methods, such as matrix factorization, impose rigid assumptions about noise and signal structures, while existing deep learning approaches fail to fully capture the rapid dynamics and complex dependencies inherent in voltage imaging data. Here, we introduce CellMincer, a novel self-supervised deep learning method specifically developed for denoising voltage imaging datasets.

Background: Sex may impact clinical outcomes in patients with stroke treated with dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT). We aimed to investigate the sex differences in the short-term outcomes of DAPT within a real-world population of patients with noncardioembolic mild-to-moderate ischemic stroke or high-risk transient ischemic attack.

Methods: We performed a propensity score-matched analysis from a prospective multicentric cohort study (READAPT [Real-Life Study on Short-Term Dual Antiplatelet Treatment in Patients With Ischemic Stroke or Transient Ischemic Attack]) by including patients with noncardioembolic mild-to-moderate stroke (National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score of 0-10) or high-risk transient ischemic attack (age, blood pressure, clinical features, duration of transient ischemic attack, presence of diabetes [ABCD] ≥4) who initiated DAPT within 48 hours of symptom onset.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study investigates the gene expression profiles of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) compared to healthy controls, using RNA sequencing and validation methods.
  • - Researchers found 186 differentially expressed genes, with notable upregulation of AQP9, PROK2, and S100A12 in women with PCOS, which could serve as noninvasive diagnostic biomarkers for the condition.
  • - The findings suggest that PCOS may be tied to chronic inflammation and highlight potential avenues for improving women's fertility through targeted treatments based on identified biomarkers.
