Insufficient sleep and circadian rhythm disturbances have been each associated with adverse cardiovascular outcomes in epidemiological studies, but experimental evidence for a causal link is scarce. The present study compares the impact of circadian misalignment (CM) to circadian alignment (CA) on human autonomic function using a nonrandomized parallel group design to achieve the same total sle...

Cerebral malaria (CM) is an infrequent but serious complication of Plasmodium falciparum infection in humans. Animal and human studies suggest that the pathogenesis of CM is immune mediated, but the precise mechanisms leading to cerebral pathology are unclear. In mice, infection with Plasmodium berghei ANKA results in CM on day 6 postinoculation (p.i.), while infection with the closely related ...

AIM Determine whether patients with Alzheimer's disease demonstrating functional and cognitive decline, following 24-48 weeks of open-label treatment with 9.5 mg/24 h (10 cm(2)) rivastigmine patch, benefit from a dose increase in a double-blind (DB) comparative trial of two patch doses. METHODS Patients meeting prespecified decline criteria were randomized to receive 9.5 or 13.3 mg/24 h (15 c...

BACKGROUND Hypo-fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy (HSRT) is emerging as a valid treatment option for patients with single, large brain metastases (BMs). We analyzed a set of our patients treated with HSRT. The aim of this study was to evaluate local control (LC), brain distant progression (BDP), toxicity and overall survival (OS). METHODS From July 2011 to May 2015, 102 patients underwen...
