TL;DR: The pharyngeal tube law is concave (airway gets stiffer as luminal pressure decreases) during respiratory cycles under inspiratory flow limitation, as opposed to static conditions.

TL;DR: It is reported here that cytoskeletal remodeling involves reconfigurations that are not only sudden but also are transmitted to great distances within the cell in a fashion reminiscent of quakes in the Earth's crust.

TL;DR: Although cognitive function deteriorates with age, emotional function is often retained even in advanced years, so it is recommended that care in patients with dementia be focused mainly on the stimulation of emotional function (e.g. sympathy and empathy, which are human traits), rather than relying solely on the stimulating of cognitive function.

TL;DR: Incrementally changing photoperiods exert a strong organizing effect on seasonal rhythms by providing hamsters with a richer source of environmental timing cues than are available in simple static day lengths.

TL;DR: Routine calibration methods based on phantoms are adequate for diagnosing osteopenia when changing from a first‐ to a second‐generation DXA system, but such calibration methods may introduce systematic errors that have important effects on the interpretation of serial BMD measurements.
