(Biomed Central, 2017-07-24)
Background: FTY720 (fingolimod, Gilenya (TM)) is an oral, blood-brain barrier (BBB)-passing drug approved as immunomodulatory treatment for relapsing-remitting form of the multiple sclerosis (MS). In addition, FTY720 exerts ...
Organotypic Cultures as a Model to Study Adult Neurogenesis in CNS Disorders
(Hindawi, 2016)
Neural regeneration resides in certain specific regions of adult CNS. Adult neurogenesis occurs throughout life, especially from the subgranular zone of hippocampus and the subventricular zone, and can be modulated in ...

Background: Cirrhosis and severe sepsis are factors associated with increased mortality in intensive care unit (ICU), but chronic hepatitis C (CHC) has been less studied in ICU. The aim of this study was to analyze the ...
A method for the sag-tension calculation in electrical overhead lines
(Praise Worthy Prize, 2011-06)
The sag and tension values of overhead conductors are influenced by the creep developed during the line lifetime. This paper presents a method for the sag-tension calculation of overhead conductors that is characterised ...
Cerebral hemodynamics during graded Valsalva maneuvers
(Frontiers Research Foundation, 2014-09-15)
The Valsalva maneuver (VM) produces large and abrupt changes in mean arterial pressure (MAP) that challenge cerebral blood flow and oxygenation. We examined the effect of VM intensity on middle cerebral artery blood velocity ...
