The Role of Chx10 Neurons in Global Motor Arrest
A recent study by Goni-Erro et al (2023) in Nature Neuroscience has shed light on a fascinating phenomenon: the neural control of global motor arrest. From the cessation of goal-directed actions to a broader motor arrest in response to fear or environmental cues, this complex behavior involves an intricate set of neuronal pathways. This recent study reveals that the activation of ...

Huateng Pharma Supplies Some Intermediates of CDK4/6 Inhibitors for Treatment of Advanced Breast Cancer
Breast cancer is the most frequent cancer among women, impacting 2.1 million women each year, and also causes the greatest number of cancer-related deaths among women. In 2018, it is estimated that 627,000 women died from breast cancer – that is approximately 15% of all cancer deaths among women. While breast cancer rates are higher among women in more developed regions, rates are ...

Diagnosing heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF)
Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) has recently been recognized as the single greatest unmet need in cardiovascular medicine, overtaking heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and becoming the most common form of heart failure, with a prevalence that is increasing by 1% annually.[1] Despite this, there remains no gold standard in diagnosing HFpEF. Diagnosing ...

Conceptual Considerations for Device-Based Therapy in Acute Decompensated Heart Failure
Abstract Acute decompensated heart failure remains the most common cause of hospitalization in older adults, and studies of pharmacological therapies have yielded limited progress in improving outcomes for these patients. This has prompted the development of novel device–based interventions, classified mechanistically based on the way in which they intend to improve central hemodynamics, ...

The Use of High-Frequency Jet Ventilation in the Management of a Pre-term Infant with Pulmonary Stenosis and Respiratory Distress Syndrome. – A Case Report
The combination of congenital heart disease (CHD) and respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) can present a difficult scenario to manage with conventional mechanical ventilation (CMV). Our patient presented with poor right ventricular (RV) function, and refractory respiratory failure on CMV. High-frequency jet ventilation (HFJV) was used in order to improve ventilation at a similar or lower mean ...

How Much Do You Know about Glycosaminoglycans?
Glycosaminoglycan (GAG) is a general term for the glycan part of proteoglycan macromolecules. Glycosaminoglycans are large linear polysaccharides composed of repeating disaccharide units, and their main configuration contains amino sugars and uronic acids (glucuronic acid and/or iduronic acid). Glycosaminoglycans can be divided into chondroitin sulfate, dermatan sulfate, keratan sulfate, ...

Velocity characteristics of atrial fibrillation sources determined by electrographic flow mapping before and after catheter ablation
Background: Electrographic-Flow-(EGF)-Mapping is a novel method to identify Atrial Fibrillation (AF) drivers. Sources of excitation during AF can be characterized and monitored. Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the correlation between velocity of EGF around a respective AF source and its spatial variability (SV) and stability (SST). Methods: 25 patients with AF were included in ...
