TL;DR: These findings suggest sex-dependent adaptations to and recovery from limb immobilization, with voluntary strength recovering slower in women, and sex-specific rehabilitation protocols may be warranted, with women requiring additional or more intensive rehabilitation programs after periods of disuse.

TL;DR: The results suggest that as fatigue develops prior to task failure, the increase in corticospinal excitability observed in relationship to the decrease in spinal excitability results from a combination of decreasing intracortical inhibition with constant levels of intrACortical facilitation and upstream excitability that together eventually fail to provide the input to the motor cortex necessary for descending drive to overcome the spinal cord resistance.

TL;DR: It is observed that patients with MdDS exhibit higher MT and large MEP amplitudes, but do not exhibit differences in measures of intracortical excitability, compared to controls.

TL;DR: A fast, efficient and economical method for purification of DNA from various sources by the use of silica particles packed in homemade bead columns is described, highly suitable for multiple sample handling in the preparation of DNA for sequencing and other purposes.

TL;DR: Asymmetric HGS, as a possible biomarker of impaired neuromuscular function, may help predict falls and it is recommended that HGS asymmetry be considered in HGS protocols and fall risk assessments.
