EPIDURAL STIMULATION WITH LOCOMOTOR TRAINING AMELIORATES UNSTABLE BLOOD PRESSURE AFTER TETRAPLEGIA. A CASE REPORT

Epidural stimulation with locomotor training ameliorates unstable blood pressure after tetraplegia. A case report

Abstract A male with C7 complete tetraplegia participated in 14 weeks of body weight supported treadmill training (BWSTT) combined with Mid Rise Wide Leg Crop spinal cord epidural stimulation (SCES), 4 weeks of no intervention, and two more weeks of BWSTT + SCES.The participant presented with unstable resting seated blood pressure (BP; 131/66 mmHg)

Functional connections between cell cycle and proteostasis in the regulation of Candida albicans morphogenesis

Summary: Morphological plasticity is a key virulence trait for many fungal pathogens.For the opportunistic fungal pathogen Candida albicans, transitions among yeast, pseudohyphal, and hyphal forms are critical for virulence, because the morphotypes play distinct roles in the infection process.C.albicans morphogenesis is HOTPOINT HUE61K S Electric C

Dopamine D1- and D2-like receptors oppositely regulate lifespan via a dietary restriction mechanism in Caenorhabditis elegans

Abstract Background Despite recent progress in understanding the molecular mechanisms regulating aging and lifespan, and the pathways involved being conserved in different species, a full understanding of the aging process has not been reached.In particular, increasing evidence suggests an active role for the nervous system in lifespan regulation,
