acerinae and the type species, Loma morhua (as well as other species of the genus). This suggests loose genetic association within the genus, and may raise the need for the taxonomic revision of L. acerinae.Social behavior is one of the most fascinating and complex behaviors in humans and animals. A fundamental process of social behavior is…[Read more]

In this work we examine the possible neural basis for two brainstem-spinal reflexes using source analyses of brain activity recorded over the cortex and posterior fossa. In a sample of 5 healthy adult subjects, using axial and vestibular stimulation by means of applied impulsive forces, evoked potentials were recorded with 63 channels using a 10 %…[Read more]

The present study aimed to examine changes in psychophysiological arousal from baseline to a stressor phase (reactivity) and from the stressor phase to a second resting phase (recovery) in patients with anxiety disorders. Fifty adult patients with DSM-5 anxiety disorders (panic disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, or social anxiety disorder)…[Read more]

Many women with pelvic organ prolapse opt for a pessary, and some of these women develop erosions of the vaginal mucosa. Ongoing erosions might lead to the discontinuation of this otherwise effective, non-invasive, and inexpensive treatment. The objectives of this study were to investigate the differences in vaginal pH and variations of the…[Read more]

Endomyocardial biopsy (EMB) is an invasive procedure, globally most often used for the monitoring of heart transplant rejection. In addition, EMB can have an important complementary role to the clinical assessment in establishing the diagnosis of diverse cardiac disorders, including myocarditis, cardiomyopathies, drug-related cardiotoxicity,…[Read more]

the incidence of postoperative fever and shivering, but further studies are needed to determine the optimal temperature.

Vasicine is a potential bronchodilator and can be used for the effective management of asthma and bronchitis. It has low absorption in the gastrointestinal tract due to its poor solubility thereby low bioavailability. The objective of this research was to develop a novel drug delivery system of vasaka extract to improve its bioavailability by…[Read more]

These characteristics suggest that EchA is a candidate drug to alleviate the cytokine storm syndrome (CSS).Although the symptoms related to vitamin C deficiency were known in ancient Egypt and eighteenth century Scottish surgeon James Lind found that scurvy (a disease resulting from insufficient dietary ingestion of vitamin C) could be effectively…[Read more]

Results revealed that participants who received active cerebellar stimulation showed (1) altered error reduction and pointing trajectories during the first trials of exposure; (2) increased magnitude but reduced robustness of pointing after-effects; and, crucially, (3) slightly altered transfer of after-effects to the throwing task. Therefore, the…[Read more]
