Scientific progress depends on reliable and reproducible results. Progress can be accelerated when data are shared and re-analyzed to address new questions. Current approaches to storing and analyzing neural data involve bespoke formats and software that make replication and reuse of data difficult. To address these challenges, we created Spyglass, an open-source data management and analysis framework written in Python. Spyglass provides reproducible pipelines for common neuroscience analyses and sharing of raw data, intermediate analyses and final results within and across labs. Spyglass uses the Neurodata Without Borders (NWB) standard and includes pipelines for spectral filtering, spike sorting, pose tracking, and neural decoding. Spyglass can be extended to apply existing and newly developed pipelines to datasets from multiple sources. We demonstrate these features in the context of a cross-laboratory replication by applying advanced state space decoding algorithms to publicly available data.New users can try out Spyglass on a Jupyter Hub hosted by HHMI and 2i2c: https://spyglass.hhmi.2i2c.cloud/.

The goal of this protocol is to enable better characterisation of multiphoton microscopy hardware across a large user base. The scope of this protocol is purposefully limited to focus on hardware, touching on software and data analysis routines only where relevant. The intended audiences are scientists using and building multiphoton microscopes in their laboratories. The goal is that any scientist, not only those with optical expertise, can test whether their multiphoton microscope is performing well and producing consistent data over the lifetime of their system.

Plantar fasciitis is a common cause of heel pain that is seen by both orthopedic surgeons and primary care providers. It is a condition that was previously thought to be because of inflammation of the plantar fascia but has more recently been linked an equinus contracture of the gastrocnemius muscle. The condition can be handled both conservatively and surgically, with the primary management being nonoperative. For operative interventions, the treatment of choice was classically a plantar fasciotomy. Over the past several years, the gastrocnemius recession has become an operative treatment of choice. The gastrocnemius recession has shown better symptom relief with less morbidity. The technique to perform a gastrocnemius recession is described within the chapter, as well as the postoperative management. In the future, the duration of nonoperative management for recalcitrant disease may be reduced. However, more randomized control trials showing positive results of the gastrocnemius recession may allow for shorter nonoperative management period creating a new standard treatment algorithm.

Rye secalin-derived cysteine-containing tripeptides and analogues inhibited ADAM17 activityviaactive site zinc coordination, hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic interactions.

Enzymatic hydrolysis of whey proteins increased the reducing capacity and decreased reactive sulfhydryl (SH) content of the peptides. Hydrolysis yielded Maillard reaction products and the carbonyl compounds depleted SH by nucleophilic reaction.

Encapsulation of food protein hydrolysates and peptides using protein, polysaccharide and lipid carriers is needed to enhance their biostability and bioavailability for application as health-promoting functional food ingredients and nutraceuticals.
