However, first studies indicated that convalescent plasma treatment might improve the clinical outcome of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients.

In the current study, we…[Read more]

Different techniques can be used for fixation. The aim of this paper is to present a case in which Judet and Sanchez-Loret plates were employed and to discuss the usefulness of this traditional technique.

Both calpain and cathepsin-B inhibitors alleviated BBB dysfunction caused by mTBI. No clear advantage was shown by selective versus…[Read more]

Exercise sessions did not alter absolute energy intake session but induced a decrease in relative energy intake (p < .001) and in hunger, desire to eat, and prospective food consumption compared with CON (p < .001). The authors also show here that cold-water exposure can increase EE while…[Read more]

Here, we review studies on (i) the impact of pinealectomy and/or melatonin administration on smoltification; (ii)…[Read more]
