The Laryngeal Auditory Startle Reflex (LASR): A New Component of the Auditory Startle Response

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
The auditory startle reflex contains a distinct laryngeal component, termed the laryngeal auditory startle reflex (LASR). In healthy adults, the LASR is modulated by supratentorial influences and habituates to repetitive stimuli. Physiologic and pathologic implications for the LASR as a component of the overall human SR remain to be determined but may ...

Transoral Ultrasound in the Diagnostic Workup of Peritonsillar Abscess—A Randomized Clinical Trial

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
Peritonsillar abscess frequently mimics peritonsillar cellulitis, exposing many patients to unnecessary and often painful blind needle aspirations. In this multicenter randomized clinical trial of 95 patients, adding transoral ultrasound to standard examination reduced needle aspiration attempts by nearly one third.

Melatonin Promotes Improvement in Serum Lipid Levels and Liver Histopathology in Hyperlipidemic Rats

Lipids, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hyperlipidemia or dyslipidemia is the term used for the increase in lipid levels in blood plasma, usually occurring due to a high‐fat diet associated with a sedentary lifestyle. The increase in lipid levels can cause fatty infiltration in the liver known as hepatic steatosis, which can lead to inflammation, fibrosis, and necrosis consecutively.

Deep Brain Stimulation of the Posterior Subthalamic Area and the Subthalamic Nucleus in Tremor‐Dominant Parkinson's Disease: A Randomized, Crossover Trial

Movement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The posterior subthalamic area (PSA) is a familiarized target for Parkinson's disease (PD) in the lesioning era and has recently been reconsidered for deep brain stimulation (DBS). Objective The aim of this study was to compare the therapeutic efficacy of PSA versus subthalamic nucleus (STN) DBS in tremor‐dominant Parkinson's ...

Toward Free‐Breathing Renal CEST MRI: Preclinical Evaluation of a Novel Prospective Respiratory Triggering Approach

Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose Endogenous renal chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) imaging enables contrast‐agent‐free assessment of renal metabolism but is highly sensitive to respiratory motion. Existing approaches, such as timed breathing, require high patient compliance or preclinical mechanical ventilation, limiting clinical translation.

Selective Motor Stimulation of the Pudendal Nerve Using Multi‐Contact Cuff Electrodes: A Pre‐Clinical Study in Feline and Ovine Models

Neurourology and Urodynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Pudendal nerve stimulation is a promising therapy for urinary incontinence, however stimulation can evoke off‐target activity. We aimed to determine whether multi‐contact cuff electrodes can selectively recruit motor fibers of the pudendal nerve trunk in preclinical feline and ovine models.

Decreased risk of catheter infection in infants and children using subcutaneous tunneling for continuous caudal anesthesia.

Continuous caudal anesthesia has been commonly used for intra- and post-operative analgesia in infants and children. However, it has a potential risk of bacterial infection, especially in infants in whom the catheter site is easily contaminated with ...

Evidence for dispersal personality in the guppy across ecological conditions, with a minor effect of relative brain size

Oikos, EarlyView.
Individuals that disperse typically exhibit specific phenotypical traits that facilitate dispersal and settlement success, known as ‘dispersal syndromes'. Consequentially, characterizing dispersers is crucial to understand other processes such as metapopulation dynamics and biological invasions.

Chiropractic spinal manipulative therapy versus physical therapist‐led exercise and the risk of cauda equina syndrome in adults with lumbar disc herniation, stenosis, or radiculopathy

PM&R, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Cauda equina syndrome is a surgical emergency often caused by lumbar disc herniation. Spinal manipulative therapy is commonly used for lumbar spine disorders, but case reports have raised concerns it may precipitate cauda equina syndrome. One cohort study suggested no increased risk, although it did not focus on patients with lumbar

Safety Evaluation of an Aqueous Root and Leaf Extract of Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera)

Phytotherapy Research, EarlyView.
Sensoril, an aqueous root and leaf extract of ashwagandha showed no evidence of mutagenicity in the in vitro Ames assay, was negative in the in vitro micronucleus, in vivo mammalian bone marrow chromosome aberration assays, and was well tolerated in the rat at up to 4000 mg/kg BW/day when administered orally for a period of 90 days. The data from these
