Non-invasive brain stimulation for enhancing dual-task performance in individuals with chronic poststroke hemiparesis: protocol for systematic review and meta-analysis

BMJ Neurology Open
Introduction Dual-tasking is commonly used to assess functional capacity in neurologically intact and poststroke populations. Stroke survivors often experience significant dual-task deficits due to cognitive-motor interference and neurological ...

Transposable Element–Driven PIEZO Mutation Enhances Locust Flight in Plateau Hypoxia

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Why transposable elements (TEs) persisted or expanded in genomes remains a mystery. Using integrated analysis of TE macro‐ and microevolution in locusts, our results showed that thousands of TE insertions promoted widespread adaptive variation. Subfamilies of candidate adaptive TEs amplified and reshaped species‐level genomic architecture.

Effects of sexual dimorphism and estrous cycle on murine Clostridioides difficile infection

Infection and Immunity
Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) causes the majority of identifiable antibiotic-associated diarrhea. Epidemiological studies have shown that biological human females are more susceptible to CDI than males.

Photobleaching of Arterial Autofluorescence for Immunofluorescence Applications

BioTechniques, 2001
Immunohistochemical localization of low-level antigens in the arterial vasculature is complicated by the presence of complex molecules such as collagen, elastin, cholesterol, and fluorescent lipids that exhibit autofluorescence over a wide spectrum of ...

Localized Heterogeneous Nucleation for Vapor‐Assisted Sequential Deposition of Metal Halide Perovskites

Advanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
A compact, nonporous, and highly crystalline layered inorganic precursor formed by thermal evaporation inherently restricts its conversion into the halide perovskite phase during vapor‐assisted hybrid two‐step deposition. Introducing localized heterogeneous nucleation sites during vapor deposition enables deliberate modulation of the inorganic layer's ...

Severe Polyarticular Gout Flare Inducing Diabetic Ketoacidosis: A Case Report

Annals of Internal Medicine: Clinical Cases
Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is a serious condition that is triggered by multiple stressors, including processes linked to inflammation. Gout is an inflammatory process that has not been directly linked to DKA, but it affects similar pathways, affecting ...

Foliar salt spray exclusion and tissue tolerance underlie local adaptation to oceanic salt spray

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Surviving the effects of oceanic salt spray is critical for plants in coastal ecosystems, yet the mechanisms of coastal plant resilience to salt spray are not well understood. We investigated mechanisms of salt spray adaptation by comparing five latitudinal pairs of yellow monkeyflower accessions locally adapted to coastal and inland ...

The Importance of Recruitment of Low-Income Pregnant Persons in Interdisciplinary Research to Understand the Impact of Social and Environmental Determinants: Lessons Learned About Implementation and Recruitment

Health Equity
Background: Prior research indicates that enrolling underrepresented populations in clinical research is challenging. Although research has identified some barriers to participation and strategies to overcome them, studies have made little progress in ...

Wintertime aerosol in Las Vegas, Nevada

, 2014
Numerous studies have found adverse health effects in subjects who live next to major roadways due to air pollution; in particular, there can be severe impacts on lung function and development in children living and/or attending school next to major roadways due to their exposure to air pollutants, including particulate matter (PM) or aerosol.
