new factor associated with impaired cognition, which could be ameliorated by B vitamins.

These findings suggest that anti-N-Hcy-protein autoantibodies can impair functional (attention/processing speed and global cognition), but not structural (brain atrophy), aspects of cognition. Anti-N-Hcy-protein autoantibodies are a new factor associated…[Read more]

Schizophrenia modeling by disrupting prepulse inhibition (PPI) is one of the most frequently used psycho-pharmacological methods by administering pharmacological agents to stimulate disruption. However, since PPI is also a biological indicator of schizophrenia, it is possible to classify subjects based on their basal PPI values and group them as…[Read more]

Several screening tools are available for use in a clinical setting to predict injury. However, there is a lack of evidence regarding the accuracy of these tools to predict soccer-specific injuries.

The purpose of this systematic literature review was to determine the psychometric properties or accuracy of screening tools for common soccer…[Read more]

Mold growth on sausage casing during processing is an important problem in fermented sausages. In this work, sausages were dipped into 1% chitosan (C), 1% thyme essential oil in 1% chitosan (CT), 1% rosemary essential oil in 1% chitosan (CR), 20% potassium sorbate (PS) as chemical antifungal, and 1% acetic acid solution (AA) as chitosan solver, or…[Read more]

To examine rates and determinants of mother’s own milk (MOM) feeding at hospital discharge in a cohort of infants born very preterm within the Canadian Neonatal Network (CNN).

This was a population-based cohort study of infants born at <33weeks of gestation and admitted to neonatal intensive care units (NICUs)…[Read more]

The 3D quantitative muscle ultrasound revealed the non-uniformity of echo intensity values over the length of the tibialis anterior muscle.

Our method extended 2D measurements and confirmed previous findings. Our method and reported normative data of (potential) biomarkers can be used to study neuromuscular disorders.

Our method…[Read more]

This retrospective study compared surgery time, anesthesia time, and costs recorded with classic arthroscopy or needle arthroscopy when diagnosing canine medial shoulder instability. Signalment, examination findings, diagnostics, anesthesia time, surgery time, treatment, invoices, and complications were reported. All cases (classic arthroscopy, 14…[Read more]

Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is often caused by persistent expression of Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV) T-antigen (T-Ag). These non-self proteins comprise about 400 amino acids (AAs). Clinical responses to immune checkpoint inhibitors, seen in about half of patients, may relate to T-Ag-specific T cells. Strategies to increase CD8+ T-cell number,…[Read more]
