THE TERMINAL QUALITY OF LIFE AND PASSIVE OR ACTIVE EUTHANASIA

International Journal for Quality in Health Care, 1990
The problems presented by the different categories of dying people are briefly discussed from the point of view of terminal quality of life. Euthanasia is used in its broader meaning, including both passive and active aspects. Passive euthanasia (PE) is exercised by withholding advanced or basic life support measures, the commonest form being do not ...

Heat treatment combined with hybrid exercises retraining mitigates cellular markers of protein turnover after hindlimb suspension in male mice: A pilot study

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Recent evidence suggests that heat treatment (HT) and resistance training can limit skeletal muscle mass loss during immobilization. However, the effects of repeated HT sessions combined with hybrid exercises (EX), which promote both endurance and resistance responses, on muscle protein turnover following hindlimb unloading (HU) remain ...

Alterations to longitudinal muscle morphology and mechanical function following immobilization and recovery in female ovariectomized and intact rats

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Serial sarcomere number (SSN) is reduced following immobilization of a muscle in a shortened position in male rodents thereby impairing muscle contractile function. However, in female rodents the effects of oestrogen on SSN and mechanical changes following immobilization and re‐ambulation are unknown.

Intracellular mechanosensation in intestinal smooth muscle: Piezo1 complexes amplify signalling beyond the surface

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Mechanosensation is not confined to the cell surface. In intestinal smooth muscle Piezo1 is predominantly intracellular (86%), where it forms a nanoscale (<40 nm) complex at the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR)–plasma membrane junction. Within this sensor–amplifier–effector axis intra‐Piezo1 is the sensor that detects force at the SR,

Intrahousehold aggression in two dogs with pain experience as the primary motivational factor of the dogs’ aggressive behaviours

Veterinary Record Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 4, November 2026.
Abstract We present two cases of intrahousehold aggression in dogs experiencing undiagnosed physical discomfort, including pain. Pain was expected to be a motivational factor, as a physical issue marked the start of the aggression and as not all stimuli were related to the dogs’ direct external environment, pointing at possible internal stimuli. Victim‐

Total duplication of the femur and polydactyly in the same limb of a Korean native calf

Veterinary Record Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 4, November 2026.
Abstract This case report describes a neonatal Korean native calf presenting with total duplication of the femur and polydactyly within the same hindlimb—an extremely rare congenital anomaly not previously reported in cattle. The calf exhibited marked structural deformities and inability to stand independently.
