Article Abstract

Background And Purpose: Electroencephalographic recovery is predictive of outcome after perinatal hypoxia-ischemia, but it is unknown whether early changes in electroencephalographic can predict the response to therapeutic hypothermia in the preterm brain.

Methods: 0.7 gestation fetal sheep received umbilical cord occlusion or sham occlusion for 25 minutes, followed by sham hypothermia or whole-body cooling started either 30 minutes or 5 hours after occlusion and continued for 72 hours.

Results: Early but not delayed hypothermia reduced neuronal loss and microglial induction in the striatum, with faster recovery of spectral edge frequency, reduced seizure burden, and less suppression of electroencephalographic amplitude (P<0.05).

Conclusions: Recovery of higher electroencephalographic frequencies may be a biomarker of effective hypothermic neuroprotection in the preterm-equivalent brain.

Impaired muscle regrowth in aging is underpinned by reduced pro-inflammatory macrophage function and subsequently impaired muscle cellular remodeling. Macrophage phenotype is metabolically controlled through TCA intermediate accumulation and activation of HIF1A. We hypothesized that transient hypoxia following disuse in old mice would enhance macrophage metabolic inflammatory function thereby improving muscle cellular remodeling and recovery.

Spectroscopic soft sensors are developed by combining spectral data with chemometric modeling, and offer as Process Analytical Technology (PAT) tools powerful insights into biopharmaceutical processing. In this study, soft sensors based on Raman spectroscopy and linear or partial least squares (PLS) regression were developed and successfully transferred to a filtration-based recovery step of precipitated virus-like particles (VLPs). For near real-time monitoring of product accumulation and precipitant depletion, the dual-stage cross-flow filtration (CFF) set-up was equipped with an on-line loop in the second membrane stage.

Background: After stroke, upper limb dysfunction seriously affects patients' quality of life. The uncertain prognosis of patients poses a challenge for therapists in developing personalized rehabilitation programs. Electroencephalograph (EEG) power spectrum changes during rehabilitation training may have a predictive effect on the improvement of upper limb movement.

Study Objectives: There are large individual differences in the homeostatic response to sleep deprivation, as reflected in slow wave sleep (SWS) and electroencephalogram (EEG) spectral power, which have largely been left unexplained. Recent evidence suggests the possible involvement of the activity-regulated cytoskeleton-associated protein () gene. Here we assessed the effects of the "c.

Dried blood spots (DBS) offer a practical and relatively non-invasive method for sample collection. Here, we evaluate the feasibility of applying H NMR spectroscopy to metabolomic analysis of DBS. Various solvent suppression techniques and extraction protocols were tested using aqueous and methanolic solvents.
