EFFECTS OF THORACIC SQUEEZING ON AIRWAY SECRETION REMOVAL IN MECHANICALLY VENTILATED PATIENTS


Resting-state blink rate does not increase following very-light-intensity exercise, but individual variation predicts executive function enhancement levels

Abstract Background Acute physical exercise, even at a very-light-intensity, potentiates prefrontal cortex activation and improves executive function.The underlying circuit mechanisms in the brain remain poorly understood, though we speculate a potential involvement of arousal-related neuromodulatory systems.Recently, our rodent study demonstrated

The SLC36 transporter Pathetic is required for neural stem cell proliferation and for brain growth under nutrition restriction

Abstract Background Drosophila neuroblasts (NBs) are neural stem RED SUNSET PWD cells whose maintenance relies on Notch activity.NBs proliferate throughout larval stages to generate a large number of adult neurons.Their proliferation is protected under conditions of nutrition restriction but the mechanisms responsible are not fully understood.As am

Effects of the Invasive Tree Species Ailanthus altissima on the Floral Diversity and Soil Properties in the Pannonian Region

Tree-of-heaven (Ailanthus altissima) is one of the most dangerous and widespread invasive woody plant species in Europe.Despite the fact that A.altissima is in the focus of an increasing number of research projects, the impact of its mass spread on native vegetation, its diversity, and changes in soil quality are still incomplete.The current study
