Important insights into aging have been generated with the genetically tractable and short-lived budding yeast. However, it is still impossible today to continuously track cells by high-resolution microscopic imaging (e.g., fluorescent imaging) throughout their entire lifespan. Instead, the field still needs to rely on a 50-y-old laborious and time-consuming method to assess the lifespan of yea...

Physical therapy (PT) knowledge and literature relating to vascular issues in the cervical spine has traditionally paid particular attention to vertebrobasilar insufficiency (VBI) related to manipulation. Although internal carotid artery dissection (ICAD) and its sequelae are well reported in medical and chiropractic literature, only a few reports appear in PT texts. Internal carotid artery pat...
