mTORC2 sustains thermogenesis via Akt-induced glucose uptake and glycolysis in brown adipose tissue [PDF]
Activation of non-shivering thermogenesis (NST) in brown adipose tissue (BAT) has been proposed as an anti-obesity treatment. Moreover, cold-induced glucose uptake could normalize blood glucose levels in insulin-resistant patients.

Fever and Infection in the Neurosurgical Intensive Care Unit [PDF]
Fever is an adaptive response to a variety of infectious, inflammatory, and foreign stimuli. The “febrile response” confers an immunological advantage to the host over invading microorganisms – bacterial, fungal and viral.
