OBJECTIVES: Justice and equity-focused practices in health services play a critical but overlooked role in low back pain (LBP) care. Critical reflexivity - the ability to examine and challenge power relations, and broader social issues embedded in everyday life - can be a useful tool to foster practices that are more socially just. No research has yet explored this approach in back pain health services. This study sought to understand how clinicians construct LBP in relation to broader socio-cultural-political aspects of care and explore if those constructions changed when clinicians engaged with critically reflexive dialogues with researchers...

Studying people in their daily life is important for understanding conditions with multi-faceted aetiology such as chronic low back pain. Inertial measurement units can be used to reconstruct the posture and motion of the body outside of laboratories to enable this research. The battery life of these sensors strongly affects the usability of the system, since recharging them frequently is inconvenient and can lead to additional errors. A major determinant of the battery life for these sensors is sampling rate, but the relationship between sampling rate and accuracy in motion reconstruction is not well documented...

Individuals with chronic low back pain (CLBP) move their spine differently. Changes in brain motor areas have been observed and suggested as a mechanism underlying spine movement alteration. Nociceptive withdrawal reflex (NWR) might be used to test spinal networks involved in trunk protection and to highlight reorganization. This study aimed to determine whether the organization and excitability of the trunk NWR are modified in CLBP. We hypothesized that individuals with CLBP would have modified NWR patterns and lower NWR thresholds...

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common cause of dementia in older adults. Neuropathological and imaging studies have demonstrated a progressive stereotyped accumulation of protein aggregates, but the underlying molecular and cellular mechanisms driving AD progression and vulnerable cell populations affected by disease remain coarsely understood. The current study harnesses the BRAIN Initiative Cell Census Network experimental practices, combining quantitative neuropathology with single cell genomics and spatial transcriptomics, to understand the impact of disease progression on middle temporal gyrus cell types...

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) has revealed differences in the motor cortex (M1) between people with and without low back pain (LBP). There is potential to reverse these changes using motor skill training, but it remains unclear whether changes can be induced in people with LBP or whether this differs between LBP presentations. This study (1) compared TMS measures of M1 (single and paired-pulse) and performance of a motor task (lumbopelvic tilting) between individuals with LBP of predominant nociceptive (n = 9) or nociplastic presentation (n = 9) and pain-free individuals (n = 16); (2) compared these measures pre- and post-training; and (3) explored correlations between TMS measures, motor performance, and clinical features...

There is strong evidence that chemotherapy can induce tumor necrosis which can be exploited for the targeted delivery of immuno-oncology agents into the tumor microenvironment (TME). We hypothesized that docetaxel, a chemotherapeutic agent that induces necrosis, in combination with the bifunctional molecule NHS-IL-12 (M9241), which delivers recombinant IL-12 through specific targeting of necrotic regions in the tumor, would provide a significant antitumor benefit in the poorly inflamed murine tumor model, EMT6 (breast), and in the moderately immune-infiltrated tumor model, MC38 (colorectal)...

BACKGROUND: Pick's disease (PiD) is a rare and predominantly sporadic form of frontotemporal dementia that is classified as a primary tauopathy. PiD is pathologically defined by argyrophilic inclusion Pick bodies and ballooned neurons in the frontal and temporal brain lobes. PiD is characterised by the presence of Pick bodies which are formed from aggregated, hyperphosphorylated, 3-repeat tau proteins, encoded by the MAPT gene. The MAPT H2 haplotype has consistently been associated with a decreased disease risk of the 4-repeat tauopathies of progressive supranuclear palsy and corticobasal degeneration, however its role in susceptibility to PiD is unclear...
