Discussion β-rhythm tACS conditions only a definite subset of corticospinal elements influencing less than 30% of the entire motoneuronal pool. The fact that β-rhythm tACS mainly affects the most excitable motoneurons could explain the observed antikinetic effect of the tACS at β-rhythm applied in the motor regions.To maintain metabolic homeostasis, motivated behaviors are driven by neuronal circuits that process information encoding the animal's energy state. Such circuits likely include ventromedial hypothalamus (VMH) glutamatergic neurons that project throughout the brain to drive food intake and energy expenditure. Targets of VMH glutamatergic neurons include proopiomelanocortin (POMC) neurons in the arcuate nucleus that, when activated, inhibit food intake. Apoptosis activator Although an energy-state-sensitive, glutamate circuit between the VMH and POMC neurons has been previously indicated, the significance and details of this circuit have not been fully elucidated. Thus, the goal of the present work was to add to the understanding of this circuit. Using a knockout strategy, the data show that the VMH glutamate→POMC neuron circuit is important for the inhibition of food intake. Conditional deletion of the vesicular glutamate transporter (VGLUT2) in the VMH results in increased bodyweight and increased food intake following a fast ine glutamate circuit from the ventromedial hypothalamus to anorexigenic proopiomelanocortin (POMC) neurons that responds to changes in energy state at both sides of the synapse, providing novel information about how variations in metabolic state affect excitatory drive onto POMC cells.The neural crest cell-derived enteric nervous system (ENS) is the intrinsic innervation of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) which consists of neurons and enteric glia cells in the myenteric ganglia and forming plexus. The ENS consists mainly of submucosal and myenteric plexuses. It has various functions on the GIT, which include control of local blood flow, motility, mucosal transport, secretions, immune modulation as well as endocrine functions and coordinated contractile activity of smooth muscle. The knowledge on the development of the innervations at different segments of the gut in humans from 11 to 26 weeks of gestation (WG) may help in understanding the pathophysiology of various congenital diseases affecting the ENS. The aim of this study is to determine the morphology of the myenteric plexus in the esophagus, ascending colon and sigmoid colon at various weeks of gestation. Tissue samples from 10 naturally terminated fetuses aged 11-26 WG were processed for hematoxylin and eosin staining and immunohistochemistry assay. The neurons, enteric glia, the smooth muscle were visualized using PGP9.5, Vimentin and S-100 antibodies. The number of neurons and enteric glial cells appeared lowest in the esophagus than the ascending and sigmoid colon. The myenteric ganglion was closely apposed to each other, forming a continuous arch along the entire circumference of gut sections of ascending and sigmoid colon but the myenteric ganglia in the esophagus was thinly populated and widely spread in the fetus at 13 WG. As the fetal gastrointestinal tract grew in diameter and length, the myenteric ganglia became discernible.Limbic encephalitis (LE) is a clinically defined syndrome characterised by an acute or subacute impairment of short-term memory, seizures and psychiatric symptoms (i.e. depression, anxiety and hallucination). LE could come from certain conditions where the neuropsychiatric systemic lupus erythematosus (NPSLE) of the multiple central nervous system is layered. In this report, we describe a 46-year-old Japanese female with SLE that suddenly presented with seizures, sensory aphasia and pseudobulbar affect. She was diagnosed with severe NPSLE presenting clinical LE (LE-SLE) by excluding malignancies, infectious encephalitis and symptomatic epilepsy using diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT). The patient showed a rapid response to treatment with methylprednisolone pulses followed by high-dose prednisolone and intravenous cyclophosphamide. She had elevated anti-glutamate receptor antibodies (anti-GluRs) in her serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) on admission, and the titres decreased to a normal range at a one-year follow up. Our case highlights the importance of measuring anti-neuron antibodies including anti-GluRs in NPSLE patients, and suggests that the reduction of these pathogenic autoantibodies in serum or CSF could be a prognostic marker.

To report the neonatal outcome after conservative-reconstructive surgery for placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) disorders.

Inclusion criteria were women undergoing conservative-reconstructive surgery for PAS. The outcomes explored were 5 min Apgar score, birth weight, and need for ventilatory support (RS1 supplementary oxygen, RS2 nasal positive pressure ventilation, or RS3 mechanical ventilatory assistance). Descriptive statistics (means and standard deviations for quantitative and percentage and interquartile range for quantitative variables) were sued to report the data.

84% of women with PAS type 1 were delivered between 35 and 37 weeks of gestation. There was only one case of small for gestational age (SGA) newborn 81% of the newborns required admission to the NICU and 11% respiratory support of those pregnancies complicated by PAS type 2, 59% were delivered between 35 and 36.6weeks. Neonatal birth weight was consistent with gestational age at birth for all the included cases, and there was no SGA newinferior third of the lower uterine segment is associated with an increased incidence of neonatal complications, likely due to the earlier gestational age at delivery for these pregnancies.

Oxytocin infusion prior to confirmation of delay in labor is discouraged by the World Health Organization. However, evidence from the Cochrane library seems to support early amniotomy and oxytocin to reduce the rates of cesarean sections (CS).

To investigate differences in mode of delivery among parturient receiving early versus delayed oxytocin infusion following amniotomy as a mean for augmentation of labor.

We searched Medline, Scopus, EMBASE, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials and Google Scholar databases from inception till February 2020.

Randomized controlled trials.

Data were collected using a modified Cochrane data collection form for intervention reviews. Meta-analysis was performed using the meta function in RStudio.

Five studies were included that involved 1.232 parturient. The meta-analysis did not reveal significant differences in the mode of delivery among women that were randomized to receive immediate oxytocin infusion and those that received delayed oxytocin infusion (operative vaginal delivery OR 1.
