objective: estrogen deficit following menopause results in cognitive behaviors impairment. severity of these impairments in menopause women suffer with cerebral hypo perfusion/ischemia (hi) cause the brain damage and neuronal death. this study aimed to evaluate the effects of pomegranate seed extract (pgse) on avoidance memories after permanent bilateral common carotid arteries occlusion (2ccao...

In this paper we study a generic model of nonlinear quasiperiodic vibration energy harvester (VEH) based on electromagnetic transduction. The proposed device consists multiple moving magnets guided by elastic beams and coupled repulsive magnetic forces. A system two degrees-of-freedom (DOFs) with tunable nonlinearity mode localization is experimentally validated. validated 2-DOFs optimized usin...

BACKGROUND Vertex epidural hematomas (VEH) account for only 8% of all epidural hematomas. However, these traumatic injuries may be underestimated or overlooked altogether when only computed tomography (CT) scans are used for diagnosis. The vertex may be a potential anatomic "blind spot" on this radiological method. In such cases, magnetic resonance (MRI) offers a great diagnostic aid. CASE DE...

  Objective(s): Cerebral hypoperfusion/ischemia (CHI) is a neurological disease where impaired hippocampus electrical activity and cognition caused by a serial pathophysiological events. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of chronic oral administration of grape seed extract (GSE) on passive avoidance memory and long-term potentiation (LTP) after permanent bilateral common carotid arteries...

The capacity utilisation of car parks is an important issue because space deficiency for infrastructure improvement in city centres. Intelligent Parking Guidance Systems (IPGSs) provide a solution to such shortages by managing park capacity. In this study, IPGS model proposed concerning the occupancy condition three surface parks, and compared with conventional system (CS) where drivers tend pr...

Aldosterone acts upon mineralocorticoid receptors in the brain to increase blood pressure and sympathetic nerve activity, but the mechanisms are still poorly understood. We hypothesized that aldosterone increases sympathetic nerve activity by upregulating the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) and oxidative stress in the brain, as it does in peripheral tissues. In Sprague-Dawley rats, aldosterone (...

Odanacatib (ODN) is a selective and reversible inhibitor of cathepsin K which is an important enzyme for the degradation of collagen I. Aim of the present work was the head-to-head comparison between the effects of ODN and alendronate (ALN) on bone mineralization density distribution (BMDD), based on quantitative backscattered electron imaging in relation to changes in histomorphometric mineral...

BACKGROUND Inhibition of the HIF regulating prolyl hydroxylation domain (PHDs) proteins prior to renal injury (preconditioning) has been shown to protect the kidney via activation of hypoxia-inducible transcription factors (HIF). Application of erythropoietin (EPO), one of the HIF target genes, has also been shown to be nephroprotective, and it remains unclear to what extent the effect of HIF i...
