Sweetspot Mapping in Deep Brain Stimulation: Strengths and Limitations of Current Approaches

open access: yesNeuromodulation: Technology at the Neural Interface, EarlyView., 2021
Abstract Objectives Open questions remain regarding the optimal target, or sweetspot, for deep brain stimulation (DBS) in, for example, Parkinson's disease. Previous studies introduced different methods of mapping DBS effects to determine sweetspots. While having a direct impact on surgical targeting and postoperative programming in DBS, these methods ...

Hemodynamic Effects of Prolonged Apneic Oxygenation in Laryngologic Surgery: A Randomized Controlled Pilot Trial

open access: yesWorld Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Limited data exist on cardiocirculatory responses associated with extended periods of apnea during administration of high‐flow nasal oxygen for laryngologic surgery (apneic oxygenation with HFNO, AO‐HFNO). The possibility of hemodynamic compromise in the settings of acute hypercapnia, respiratory acidosis, hyperoxia, and IV ...

The Scoop on Honey Badger Poop: Validation of a Non‐Invasive Method for Assessing Physiological Responses in Captivity

open access: yesZoo Biology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Captive honey badgers (Mellivora capensis) are routinely exposed to environmental and husbandry‐related stressors that differ markedly from their natural conditions; however, physiological welfare assessments in this species remain limited. This study aimed to validate a non‐invasive approach to evaluate stress‐related fecal glucocorticoid ...

Response of Fecal Bacteria and Fungi to Tannin‐Rich Diets in Sika Deer (Cervus nippon): Evidence from Both Feeding Experiments and Field Investigations

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Feeding with tannin‐rich diets altered the fecal microbial composition and increased the relative abundance of tannin‐degrading microbes. We hypothesize that fecal bacteria and fungi may play important roles in helping herbivores adapt to tannin‐rich diets but respond to different tannin concentrations varies.

Kaempferol Protects Intestinal Health in Chinese Forest Musk Deer Possibly by Regulating Intestinal Microbiota and Inhibiting the NF‐κB/NLRP3 Signaling Pathway

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Kaempferol modulates the tryptophan metabolism pathway by increasing the abundances of Christensenellaceae R7 group, Bacteroides, and Blautia and reducing that of Rikenellaceae RC9 gut group, thereby significantly increasing the levels of ILA and IAA. This process inhibits the activation of NF‐κB/NLRP3 signaling pathway, reduces pro‐inflammatory factor

Gut Microbiota Analysis and Comparison in Forest Musk Deer (Moschus berezovskii) of Different Ages and Musk‐Secreting Periods

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Metagenomic sequencing was used to analyze fecal microbiota of captive male forest musk deer (FMD) from the Sichuan Institute of Musk Deer Breeding across ages and musk‐secreting periods. Gut microbiota was generally stable and dominated by Firmicutes, while age and musk secretion shaped microbial composition and function, with musk collection linked ...

Unity Brings Mutual Benefits: The Huddling Strategies of Temperate‐Living Primates in Cold Environments

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Cold exposure triggers enhanced huddling responses in golden snub‐nosed monkeys, characterized by increased huddling frequency, duration, and larger group formation. Huddling effectively improves thermal regulation by elevating body surface temperature and reducing heat loss, with individuals inside aggregations achieving greater thermal benefits than ...
