Article Abstract
Background: Corticospinal excitability (CSE) is a surrogate measure of neuroplasticity within the corticospinal tract measured with transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). A single bout of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT) cardiovascular exercise (CE) have been both demonstrated to transiently augment CSE in people with stroke. However, the effect of multiple sessions of CE and exercise intensity is unknown.
Objectives: We conducted a randomized controlled trial (NCT03614585) to examine the effect of a HIIT vs. MICT CE program on CSE measures obtained using TMS applied on the ipsilesional (ILH) and contralesional (CLH) hemispheres.
Methods: Fifty-six individuals with cortical and/or subcortical stroke lesions in the chronic phase of stroke recovery (>6 months) were randomly assigned to a 12-week HIIT (n = 28) or MICT (n = 28) program. CSE measures were obtained at baseline and post-intervention. Linear mixed model analyses were conducted to compare changes in CSE measures and their respective interhemispheric ratios.
Results: CSE changes were not significantly different between HIIT and MICT but exploratory analyses showed that, when analyzed together, both groups increased resting motor evoked potential (MEP) amplitude ( = .003), decreased resting motor threshold (rMT) ( = .030), and reduced intracortical facilitation (ICF) ( = .049) in the ILH. No CSE changes in the CLH were observed. HIIT and MICT rebalanced interhemispheric rMT ( = .020) and ICF ratios ( = .040), and increased resting MEP amplitude ratio ( = .020).
Conclusions: Chronic CE increases excitatory ILH CSE measures and reduces interhemispheric imbalances but intensity does not have a moderating effect. More studies are needed to determine the functional relevance of exercise-induced changes in CSE in post-stroke recovery.

Hydrogen sulfide (HS) is an endogenously produced gasotransmitter with important physiological roles in cardiovascular, neurological, and metabolic health. Accurate quantification of circulating HS remains technically challenging due to its volatility, reactivity, and rapid oxidation. Here, we present a high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)-based methylene blue method using methylene green as an internal reference (MBMG) for plasma HS quantification with improved sensitivity, reproducibility, and compatibility.

This study aims to highlight the effectiveness of computer vision (CV) techniques in classifying brain tumors using a comprehensive dataset consisting of computed tomography (CT) scans. The proposed framework comprises six types of brain tumors, including benign tumors (Meningioma, Schwannoma, and Neurofibromatosis) and malignant tumors (Glioma, Chondrosarcoma, and Chordoma). The acquired images underwent pre-processing steps to enhance the dataset's quality, including noise reduction through median and Gaussian filters and region of interest (ROIs) extraction using an automated binary threshold-based fuzzy c-means segmentation (ABTFCS) approach.

The use of unvetted third-party and internet data renders pre-trained models susceptible to backdoor attacks. Detecting backdoor samples is critical to prevent backdoor activation during inference or injection during training. However, existing detection methods often require the defender to have access to the poisoned models, extra clean samples, or significant computational resources to detect backdoor samples, limiting their practicality.
