Stress and sleep are tightly regulated as a result of the substantial overlap in neurotransmitter signaling regulatory pathways between neural centers that modulate mood sleep-wake cycle. The chronicity stressor variability coping with it major determinants psychiatric outcomes subsequent effect on sleep. regulation is mediated by interaction homeostatic circadian process according to two-process model. Chronic stress induces stress-related disorders which associated deficient homeostasis....

Developing new clinical measures for degenerative cervical myelopathy (DCM) is an AO Spine RECODE-DCM Research, international and multi-stakeholder partnership, priority. Difficulties in detecting DCM its changes cause diagnostic treatment delays settings heightened costs trials due to elevated recruitment targets. Digital outcome can tackle these challenges their ability measure disease remotely, repeatedly, more economically.

Background Degenerative cervical myelopathy (DCM) is a progressive chronic spinal cord injury estimated to affect 1 in 50 adults. Without standardised guidance, clinical research studies have selected outcomes at their discretion, often underrepresenting the disease and limiting comparability between studies. Utilising standard minimum data set formed via multi-stakeholder consensus can address these issues. This combines processes define core outcome (COS)—a list of key outcomes—and...

Progress in degenerative cervical myelopathy (DCM) is hindered by inconsistent measurement and reporting. This impedes data aggregation outcome comparison across studies. limitation can be reversed developing a core set (CMS) for DCM research. Previously, the AO Spine Research Objectives Common Data Elements (AO RECODE-DCM) defined 'what' should measured DCM: next step of this initiative to determine 'how' measure these features. protocol outlines steps necessary development CMS research...

A chronic subdural haematoma (cSDH) is an encapsulated collection of fluid and blood degradation products in the space. It increasingly common, affecting older people those living with frailty. Currently, no guidance exists to define optimal care from onset symptoms through recovery. This paper presents first consensus-built recommendations for best practice cSDH, co-designed support each stage patient pathway. Guideline development was led by a multidisciplinary Steering Committee...

Abstract Certain awns utilize actuating mechanisms that harness energy from variations in aerial humidity to self‐burrow their seeds into the soil. Here morphokinematics of such hygroresponse awn feather grass Stipa epilosa is described. The elongated body typically doubly bent, and has three segments with different functionalities: long stiff proximal segment twists reversibly generate thrust for burrowing seed, plumose flexible distal contributes dispersion, short middle provides a bent...

Degenerative cervical myelopathy (DCM), a progressive spinal cord injury caused by compression from degenerative pathology, often presents with neck pain, sensorimotor dysfunction in the upper or lower limbs, gait disturbance, and bladder bowel dysfunction. Its symptomatology is very heterogeneous, making early detection as well measurement understanding of underlying factors their consequences challenging. Increasingly, evidence suggests that DCM may consist subgroups disease, which are yet...
