BACKGROUND In this study, we aimed to investigate the possible effects of sertraline on blood glucose and lipid levels as risk factors for cardiovascular disease in depressive patients. METHODS Eight male and twelve female depressive patients, diagnosed according to DSM-IV criteria, were included in this study. The subjects aged 19-50 years, did not smoke, and had normal body mass index (BMI)...

1. During nectar and pollen foraging in a temperate climate, honeybees are exposed to a broad range of ambient temperatures, challenging their thermoregulatory ability. The body temperature that the bees exhibit results from endothermic heat production, exogenous heat gain from solar radiation, and heat loss. In addition to profitability of foraging, season was suggested to have a considerable ...

[1] We have completed the first global spatial deconvolution analysis of planetary gamma-ray data for lunar Th abundances as measured by the Lunar Prospector Gamma-ray Spectrometer. We tested two different spatial deconvolution techniques – Jansson’s method and the Pixon method – and determined that the Pixon method provides superior performance. The final deconvolved map results in a spatial r...

The present study aims to compare the 7(th) and the proposed 8(th) edition of the AJCC/UICC TNM staging system for NSCLC in a cohort of patients from a single institution. A total of 408 patients with NSCLC who underwent radical surgery were analyzed retrospectively. Survivals were analyzed using the Kaplan -Meier method and were compared using the log-rank test. Multivariate analysis was perfo...

Therapeutic hypothermia (TH) is thought to be due to the downregulation of free radical production, although the details of this process remain unclear. Here, we investigate changes in oxidative stress and endogenous biological antioxidant potential during TH in patients with post-cardiac arrest syndrome (PCAS). Nineteen PCAS patients were enrolled in the study. Brain temperature was decreased ...

Slowly conducting, low threshold mechanoreceptive afferents, with distinctive physiological properties, are present in humans (C-tactile CTs) and non-human species (C-low mechanoreceptors, C-LTMs). In mice, gene expression profiles reveal abundant (TH+), sparse (MRGPRB4+) C-LTM populations. Genetic manipulation of C-LTMs allows specific investigations into how changing activity impacts on affec...
