    Abstract After recovering from COVID-19, a significant proportion of symptomatic and asymptomatic individuals develop Long COVID. Fatigue, orthostatic intolerance, brain fog, anosmia, and ageusia/dysgeusia in Long COVID resemble "sickness behavior," the autonomic nervous system response to pro-inflammatory cytokines (Dantzer et al., 2008). Aberrant network adaptation to sympathetic/parasympathetic imbalance is expected to produce long-standing dysautonomia. Cervical sympathetic chain activity can be blocked with local anesthetic, allowing the regional autonomic nervous system to "reboot." In this case series, we successfully treated two Long COVID patients using stellate ganglion block, implicating dysautonomia in the pathophysiology of Long COVID and suggesting a novel treatment.

    Abstract Background: Niemann-Pick disease, type C1 (NPC1) is an ultrarare, recessive disorder due to pathological variants of NPC1. The NPC1 phenotype is characterized by progressive cerebellar ataxia and cognitive impairment. Although classically a childhood/adolescent disease, NPC1 is heterogeneous with respect to the age of onset of neurological signs and symptoms. While miglustat has shown to be clinically effective, there are currently no FDA approved drugs to treat NPC1. Identification and characterization of biomarkers may provide tools to facilitate therapeutic trials. Ubiquitin C-terminal hydrolase-L1 (UCHL1) is a protein which is highly expressed by neurons and is a biomarker of neuronal damage. We thus measured cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) levels of UCHL1 in individuals with NPC1.
    Methods: CSF levels of UCHL1 were measured using a Quanterix Neuroplex 4 assay in 94 individuals with NPC1 and 35 age-appropriate comparison samples. Cross-sectional and longitudinal CSF UCHL1 levels were then evaluated for correlation with phenotypic measures and treatment status.
    Results: CSF UCHL1 levels were markedly elevated (3.3-fold) in individuals with NPC1 relative to comparison samples. The CSF UCHL1 levels showed statistically significant (adj p < 0.0001), moderate, positive correlations with both the 17- and 5-domain NPC Neurological Severity Scores and the Annual Severity Increment Scores. Miglustat treatment significantly decreased (adj p < 0.0001) CSF UCHL1 levels by 30% (95% CI 17-40%).
    Conclusions: CSF UCHL1 levels are elevated in NPC1, increase with increasing clinical severity and decrease in response to therapy with miglustat. Based on these data, UCHL1 may be a useful biomarker to monitor disease progression and therapeutic response in individuals with NPC1.

    Abstract Anthropogenic activities have reshaped biodiversity on islands worldwide. However, it remains unclear how island attributes and land-use change interactively shape multiple facets of island biodiversity through community assembly processes. To answer this, we conducted bird surveys in various land-use types (mainly forest and farmland) using transects on 34 oceanic land-bridge islands in the largest archipelago of China. We found that bird species richness increased with island area and decreased with isolation, regardless of the intensity of land-use change. However, forest-dominated habitats exhibited lower richness than farmland-dominated habitats. Island bird assemblages generally comprised species that share more similar traits or evolutionary histories (i.e. functional and/or phylogenetic clustering) than expected if assemblages were randomly assembled. Contrary to our expectations, we observed that bird assemblages in forest-dominated habitats were more clustered on large and close islands, whereas assemblages in farmland-dominated habitats were more clustered on small islands. These contrasting results indicate that land-use change interacts with island biogeography to alter the community assembly of birds on inhabited islands. Our findings emphasize the importance of incorporating human-modified habitats when examining the community assembly of island biota, and further suggest that agricultural landscapes on large islands may play essential roles in protecting countryside island biodiversity.

    Abstract Somatosensory deficits from stroke, spinal cord injury, or other neurologic damage can lead to a significant degree of functional impairment. The primary (SI) and secondary (SII) somatosensory cortices encode information in a medial to lateral organization. SI is generally organized topographically, with more discrete cortical representations of specific body regions. SII regions corresponding to anatomical areas are less discrete and may represent a more functional rather than topographic organization. Human somatosensory research continues to map cortical areas of sensory processing with efforts primarily focused on hand and upper extremity information in SI. However, research into SII and other body regions is lacking. In this review, we synthesize the current state of knowledge regarding the cortical organization of human somatosensation and discuss potential applications for brain computer interface. In addition to accurate individualized mapping of cortical somatosensation, further research is required to uncover the neurophysiological mechanisms of how somatosensory information is encoded in the cortex.

    Abstract Thapsigargin (Tg) is a potent SERCA pump inhibitor with the potential to treat cancer and COVID-19. We have extended the scope of the asymmetric allenic Pauson-Khand reaction to furan-tethered allene-ynes, a stereoconvergent transformation affording the 5,7,5-ring system of Tg in good yields and high enantioselectivity. Computational studies of the oxidative cyclization step show that the furan and chloroacetate groups contribute to this high selectivity.
