Time‐course characterization of intraocular pressure in murine steroid‐induced ocular hypertension: Effects of route, schedule, and concentration

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Steroid‐induced ocular hypertension is a useful mouse model for glaucoma, but published work rarely quantifies how route, dose, and schedule shape the intraocular pressure (IOP) time‐course—hindering reproducibility and forcing labs to pilot protocols.

Xylazine co-occurrence with illicit fentanyl is a growing threat in the Deep South: a retrospective study of decedent data

Harm Reduction Journal
Background Xylazine is a dangerous veterinary sedative found mainly in illicit fentanyl in the Northeast and Midwest. Its role in the Deep South overdose crisis is not well-characterized.

Pilot findings on the real-world performance of xylazine test strips for drug residue testing and the importance of secondary testing methods

Drug and Alcohol Dependence Reports
Background: Xylazine is a sedative found increasingly in the illicit fentanyl supply that can cause hypotension, bradycardia, necrosis and death. This pilot examined the real-world performance of BTNX xylazine test strips (XTS) in drug residue samples ...

Comparing the efficacy of dextrose, mannitol, and saline solutions in male rabbits' chemical castration

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Our study demonstrated that a single bilateral intra‐testicular injection of 50% dextrose (Group A) and 20% mannitol (Group B) solutions cannot serve as chemical sterilizing agents in male rabbits. However, intra‐testicular injection of 0.9% saline (Group C) significantly reduced the seminiferous tubule quality (STQ), seminiferous tubule maturity (STM),

Effects of intermittent exposure to hypobaria and cold on the microarchitecture and morphofunctional profile of rat gastrocnemius muscle

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Intermittent hypobaric hypoxia (IHH) enhances oxygen transport, muscle metabolism, and cardiovascular health; however, the combined effects of hypobaria and cold are less well understood. Exposure to these stressful environmental factors, even intermittently, can affect skeletal muscle due to its plasticity, thereby altering its metabolic and ...

Effects of oropharyngeal neuromuscular stimulation on the volumetric enlarged and reduced tongue base in minipigs

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Hypoglossal nerve or tongue protruding muscle stimulation is a current treatment option for obstructive sleep apnea. Thus, the present study analyzed 3D deformations of the volumetric enlarged and reduced tongue base upon oropharyngeal neuromuscular stimulation.

Body condition and dosage effects on ketamine–xylazine immobilization of female white‐tailed deer

Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2013
Ketamine and xylazine are an effective chemical combination for white‐tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) immobilization, but the effects of body condition on ketamine–xylazine efficacy have not been examined.

Dual Action of Dipyridamole in Experimental Rheumatoid Arthritis: Suppression of Joint Inflammation and Upregulation of Muscle Anabolism via Adenosine and AMPK Pathways

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Rheumatoid sarcopenia, characterized by the progressive loss of skeletal muscle mass and function, is a frequent comorbidity in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), linked to prolonged, severe systemic inflammation. Purinergic signaling (adenosine, AMP, and ATP) plays a crucial role in inflammation, myogenesis, and muscle hypertrophy.

Long‐lasting remodeling of astrocytes in an Scna1+/− mouse model of Dravet syndrome

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Dravet syndrome (DS) is a prototypical developmental and epileptic encephalopathy caused by mutations in the SCN1A gene, leading to loss of function of the voltage‐gated sodium channel Naᵥ1.1. The latter causes early onset drug‐resistant seizures and enduring cognitive and behavioral deficits.
