OBJECTIVE The present study evaluates the effect of food intake on 92 biomarkers for cardiovascular disease (CVD). METHODS Twenty two healthy subjects (11 male and 11 female aged 25.9±4.2 years) were investigated. A total of 92 biomarkers were measured before a standardized meal as well as 30 and 120 minutes afterwards with the Proseek Multiplex CVD III kit. RESULTS The levels for eight bio...

PURPOSE To investigate dendritic changes of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) and the rate of dendritic shrinkage after retinal ischemia induced by acute elevation of intraocular pressure (IOP). METHODS After elevating the IOP to 110 mm Hg for 30, 60, 90, and 120 minutes, a confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscope (CSLO) was used to serially image the retinas of the Thy-1 YFP transgenic mice in viv...

Memory is a binary process relying on a short-term form lasting minutes to forge and communicate with a long-term form lasting years. Yale's Bicentennial Symposium opened with a lecture elucidating the obscure process of long-term memory formation. From his decades of research, Nobel Laureate Eric Kandel offered insight into the molecular framework that is long term-memory.

A preschool four-year-old male patient had been admitted to the Mandaqui Hospital with a diagnosis of lobar pneumonia, pleural effusion, and right lung atelectasis. Treatment consisted of antibiotics and physiotherapy sessions, using a technique described in the literature as Insufflation Technique to Reverse Atelectasis (ITRA), which consists of a thoracic block of healthy lung tissue, leaving...

AIM The aim of this study is to assess and compare the efficacy of Jordanian propolis and full concentration mature coconut water in their ability to preserve periodontal ligament (PDL) cell viability after exposure of PDL cells to up to 120 minutes dry storage. MATERIALS AND METHODS PDL cells were obtained from sound permanent first molars which were cultured in Dulbecco's Modified Eagles Me...

The high demand for N95 masks, especially during the COVID (Coronavirus disease)-19 pandemic, has caused shortages worldwide. This study aimed to examine sterilization ability of portable sterilizer prototype masks and its effect on filtration changes in air resistance mask order thrift personal protective equipment (PPE) use a shortage. sample used was an type 1860. contaminated with 0.6-0.8 M...

Endogenous cannabinoids (eCBs) mobilized from postsynaptic cells activate presynaptic cannabinoid receptors and thereby inhibit synaptic transmitter release. The inhibition can be either brief (seconds) or long-lasting (minutes to hours). Recent studies provide insight into the presynaptic mechanisms responsible for long-lasting, eCB-mediated long-term depression. Among these, the proteins PKA ...

objectives: this study aimed to evaluate the effect of storage period on dimensional stability of alginplus and hydrogum 5. materials and methods: in this in vitro experimental study, 60 impressions were taken of an upper jaw typodont, including 10 impressions for each storage period to be tested (12 minutes, 24 and 120 hours) for each type of alginate. then, the impressions were stored in an i...

We present a 57-year-old male who presented a right arm paresthesia lasting for 5 minutes. Two hours later he suffered from a right faciobrachial paresthesia lasting for 10 minutes. Cranial MRI didn’t reveal ischemic lesions. The patient was discharged home with acetyl salicylic acid and atorvastatin. Three months later the patient presented two episodes of a right faciobrachial paresthesia las...
