Effect of neck posture on the activation of feline neck muscles during voluntary head turns

, 1994
1. To determine whether neck posture affects the usage of neck muscles during a specific motor task, we recorded the electromyographic (EMG) patterns of neck muscles in four cats, which made horizontal, head-turning movements to fixate eccentrically ...

Neck muscle function improves after neck exercises in individuals with whiplash-associated disorders: a case–control ultrasound study with speckle-tracking analyses

Scientific Reports
A whiplash injury can alter neck muscle function, which remains years after the injury and may explain why symptoms such as persistent pain and disability occur.

Targeting Post‐Irradiation Thyroid Dysfunction: Electrospun Scaffolds As A Dual‐Action Approach for Antioxidant and Immune Modulation

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Radiation‐induced hypothyroidism follows head and neck radiotherapy due to oxidative stress and inflammation. Electrospun polycaprolactone scaffolds containing adenosine have potential to modulate thyroid repair. Scaffolds enhance thyrocyte proliferation, antioxidant enzymes glutathione peroxidase and catalase, reduce senescence and apoptosis markers ...
