Article Abstract

The neonatal transition involves physiological modifications as a consequence of the complexity of the perinatal period. Various strategies can be used to attain the same level of postnatal cerebral oxygenation, depending on the status of the infant at birth. We evaluated such strategies by recording 20 full-term newborns by near-infrared spectroscopy during the first 10 min of life. The acid-base status at birth revealed two clustered profiles of cerebral oxygenation dynamics. Lower pH and base excess and higher lactate levels were associated with more rapid attainment of the 95% maximal tissue oxygenation index value. These results suggest that metabolic mechanisms drive initial cerebral oxygenation dynamics during this critical period. These results confirm the capacity of newborns to develop multiple strategies to protect the brain.

Introduction: Breathlessness is a common cause of hospital admission globally and is associated with high mortality, particularly in low-income countries. In sub-Saharan Africa, there is a paucity of data on breathlessness, with existing data focused on individual diseases. There is a need for patient-centred approaches to understand interactions between multiple conditions to address population needs and inform health system responses.

Gut microbiome and mitochondrial crosstalk in Schizophrenia, a mental disability: Emerging mechanisms and therapeutic targets.

Gut-mitochondria is an emerging paradigm in understanding the pathophysiology of complex neuropsychiatric disorders such as Schizophrenia (SCZ). This bidirectional communication network connects the gastrointestinal microbiota with mitochondrial function and brain health, offering novel insights into disease onset and progression. SCZ, characterized by hallucinations, delusions, cognitive impairments, and social withdrawal, has traditionally been attributed to genetic and neurochemical imbalances.

Insight problem solving involves overcoming an impasse when a solution seems unreachable, often experienced as an 'Aha!' moment. In such solving, shifting from an incorrect representation imposed by constraints to a correct representation through constraint relaxation is critical. Prior research compared brain activity when constraint relaxation and representation change occurred versus when they did not occur, but neural activity before and after such changes within trials has remained underexplored.

Background: Ischemic stroke remains a leading cause of death and disability worldwide. While cryptotanshinone (CTS) shows therapeutic promise, its clinical application is hindered by poor pharmacokinetic properties. This study investigated DST-3, a novel derivative of CTS for enhanced neuroprotective effect against ischemic stroke with improved drug-like properties.
