New Findings What is the central question of this study? Repeated heat exposure during the summer months can enhance heat loss in humans (seasonal heat acclimatization), but does the magnitude of that enhancement differ between young and older adults when assessed during passive heat exposure? What is the main finding and its importance? While seasonal heat acclimatization enhanced evaporative heat loss (i.e., sweating) in both young and older adults, those improvements led to...

Key points Non‐invasive simultaneous multiparametric monitoring allows the in vivo evaluation of cerebral and cardiovascular haemodynamic responses to different types of recurrent episodes of intermittent hypoxia and/or bradycardia, also defined as cardio‐respiratory events (CRE), in preterm neonates during postnatal transition. By decreasing left cardiac output, bradycardia further contributes to cerebral hypoxia during CRE. The presence of a haemodynamically significant patent ductus arteriosus...

Key points Pregnancy at high altitude is associated with a greater incidence of fetal growth restriction due, in part, to lesser uterine artery blood flow. AMP‐activated protein kinase (AMPK) activation vasodilates arteries and may increase uterine artery blood flow. In this study, pharmacologic activation of AMPK by the drug AICAR improved fetal growth and elevated uterine artery blood flow. These results suggest that AMPK activation is a potential strategy for improving fetal growth and raising...

Key points AMP‐activated protein kinase (AMPK) is considered a major regulator of skeletal muscle metabolism during exercise. However, we previously showed that although AMPK activity increases 8–10 fold during ∼120 min of exercise at ∼65% VO2 peak in untrained individuals, there is no increase in these individuals after only 10 days of exercise training (longitudinal study). In a cross‐sectional study we show that there is also a lack of activation of skeletal muscle AMPK during 120 min of...

Abstract Background Cancer stem cells are responsible for tumour progression and chemoresistance. Fibroblasts surrounding a tumour also promote progression and fibroblast ‘activation’ is an independent prognostic marker in oral cancer. Cancer stem cells may therefore promote tumourigenesis through communication with stromal fibroblasts. Methods Cancer stem cells were isolated from oral cancer cell lines by adherence to fibronectin or cisplatin resistance. Fibroblasts were exposed to conditioned...

Abstract The incidences of fungal infections have greatly increased over the past few years, particularly in humid and industrialized areas. The severity of such infections ranges from being asymptomatic‐mild to potentially life‐threatening systemic infections. There are limited classes of drugs that are approved for the treatment of such infections like polyenes, azoles and echinocandins. Some fungi have developed resistance to these drugs. Therefore, to counter drug resistance, intensive large...

Summary We investigated changes of slow‐wave activity and sleep slow oscillations in the night following procedural learning boosted by reinforcement learning, and how these changes correlate with behavioural output. In the Task session, participants had to reach a visual target adapting cursor's movements to compensate an angular deviation introduced experimentally, while in the Control session no deviation was applied. The task was repeated at 13:00 hours, 17:00 hours and 23:00 hours before sleep,...

Abstract Introduction Patients dying a short time after receiving palliative radiation are unlikely to have received benefit and may experience harm. To monitor the potential for avoidable harm, 30‐day mortality following palliative radiation has been recommended for use as a quality indicator and the Royal College of Radiologist have recommended a rate of lower than 20%. At the Canterbury Regional Cancer and Haematology Service in Christchurch, New Zealand (CRCHS), we investigated 30‐day mortality...

Summary The spinal epidural and posterior ligamentous complex spaces are important anatomic regions which are the target of various radiologic procedures in the cervical, thoracic and lumbar spine for the purpose of analgesia and anaesthesia. Given the frequency with which procedures are performed in and around the epidural space, a sound understanding of the associated anatomy is paramount to ensure the safety and efficacy of procedural intervention.

Abstract Introduction Due to size and close proximity to skin, the sternum is a complicated target for stereotactic ablative body radiotherapy (SABR). This is a retrospective case series of single‐fraction SABR to sternal metastasis in patients with oligometastatic breast cancer. Methods Between June 2014 and June 2018, ten breast cancer patients received 20 Gy in 1 fraction to a solitary sternal metastasis. Eligible patients had Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of...

We found that the publication on “Testing recommendation for COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) in patients planned for surgery - continuing the service and 'suppressing' the pandemic” is very interesting.1 Al-Muharraqi noted that “The aforementioned recommendations may be expensive, but they can mitigate the risks to patients, staff, and public.1” In fact, surgeon has a high risk for contacting COVID-9 in clinical practice. The COVID-19 patient might be asymptomatic and COVID-19 transmission to surgeon is possible.

The umbilical arteries separate the lesser pelvis from the abdomen. Development of the inferior hypogastric plexus is divided into migration of neural crest cells (blue dots) to para‐ and pre‐arterial positions, followed by association of the ganglionic cell cluster with the superior hypogastric nerve, then the pelvic splanchnic nerves, and finally the sacral splanchnic nerves. Only thereafter nerves and ganglionic cells extend from this plexus along the bladder wall and the caudal hindgut. Abstract...

We investigated the macroscopic healing processes of the cranial vault based on CT scanning records of modern patients, in order to improve the positive and differential diagnosis of trepanations in archaeological samples. Our results have demonstrated how the inclination of the edges of a healed trepanation may be related to the healing process, and not only to the cranial opening technique, which now has to be taken into consideration when interpreting the procedures in past population. Abstract...

We present the first morphofunctional study of the vomeronasal organ of a wild canid, the red fox, which highlights the importance of chemical communication in this species and opens a new perspective on the canid vomeronasal system. Abstract The vomeronasal system (VNS) has been extensively studied within specific animal families, such as Rodentia. However, the study of the VNS in other families, such as Canidae, has long been neglected. Among canids, the vomeronasal organ (VNO) has only been...

The springhare’s overbuilt plantaris tendon likely allows rapid transfer of force from muscle to skeletal attachment points, facilitating fast and accelerative hopping in predator‐dense habitats. Abstract This study assesses the functional morphology of the ankle extensor muscle‐tendon units of the springhare Pedetes capensis , an African bipedal hopping rodent, to test for convergent evolution with the Australian bipedal hopping macropods. We dissect and measure the gastrocnemius, soleus,...

We found that the muscle–tendon arrangement of the m. flexor digitorum superficialis (FDS) was different among the common marmoset, squirrel monkey and spider monkey. However, the intramuscular nerve distribution pattern within the FDS was consistent. This consistent innervation pattern of the FDS suggests that muscle bellies that make up the FDS come from a common ancestral arrangement. Abstract The muscle–tendon arrangement of the m. flexor digitorum superficialis (FDS) varies among different...
