Activation of the periaqueductal gray controls respiratory output through a distributed brain network by Mitchell Prostebby, Jashan Saini, Vivian Biancardi, Vivian Biancardi, Vivian Biancardi, Clayton T. Dickson, Clayton T. Dickson, Clayton T. Dickson, Clayton T. Dickson, Silvia Pagliardini, Silvia Pagliardini, Silvia Pagliardini

“…In contrast, stimulating PAG terminals in either preBötC or pFL with long or shorter timescale stimuli could not completely replicate the effects of direct PAG stimulation and also did not produce any respiratory reset.ConclusionsOur results show that the effects of PAG activity on respiration are not mediated solely by PAG inputs to either the preBötC or pFL and more likely involve integration across a larger network of brainstem areas.…”

Development of Acute Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy 11 Days after Spinal Surgery: A Case Report and Literature Review by Eiichi Kakehi, Tadataka Kawakami, Yukiko Ishikawa, Takashi Matsuoka, Naoki Nakagawa, Tugutake Morishita, Shohei Taniguchi, Yukinobu Akamatsu, Shigehisa Sakurai, Akane Hirotani, Takafumi Nozaki, Keisuke Shoji, Seiji Adachi, Kazuhiko Kotani, Masami Matsumura

“…A literature review of 18 cases revealed that unexplained weakness, areflexia, and numbness of the extremities after spinal surgery, a shorter time from spinal surgery to symptom onset to general GBS, abnormal nerve conduction study results, normal spinal imaging findings, and the development of atypical symptoms such as cranial and autonomic nerve syndrome and respiratory failure are useful for diagnosing GBS when cerebrospinal fluid examination cannot be performed after spinal surgery.…”

Metasurface higher-order poincaré sphere polarization detection clock by Hui Yang, Kai Ou, Qiang Liu, Meiyu Peng, Zhenwei Xie, Yuting Jiang, Honghui Jia, Xinbin Cheng, Hui Jing, Yueqiang Hu, Huigao Duan

“…Conventional strategies for detecting SoP, which typically involves a sequence of cascaded optical elements, are bulky, complex, and run counter to miniaturization and integration. While metasurface-enabled polarimetry has emerged to overcome these limitations, its functionality predominantly remains confined to identifying SoP within the standard Poincaré sphere framework. …”
