The ability of the selective NOP receptor antagonist (−)-cis-1-methyl-7-[[4-(2,6-dichlorophenyl)piperidin-1-yl]methyl]-6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-5H-benzocyclohepten-5-ol (SB-612111) to potentiate antinociception induced by the above compounds was examined to investigate whether activation of NOP receptors leads to attenuation…

These findings support the hypothesis that regional microstructural but no macrostructural alteration of the brain might be responsible, at least in part, for episodic memory deficits in alcohol dependence.

We determined the effectiveness of diclofenac potassium, compared to placebo, in alleviating nighttime pain and restoring sleep architecture in women with primary dysmenorrhea.

Magnetotactic bacteria can produce positive magnetic resonance imaging contrast and colonize mouse tumor xenografts, providing a potential tool for improved magnetic resonance imaging visualization in preclinical and translational studies to…

The results showed that both methods detected high globus pallidus iron concentration regardless of age and significantly greater iron in putamen with advancing age.

Our goal was to characterize the immunological kinetics associated with the progression of an infection establishing CL, comparing the cellular composition, cytokines and granzyme expression between lesions of patients with…

We report on the development of an ultrafast, multislice, spiral chemical shift imaging sequence, with subsecond acquisition time, achieved on a clinical MR scanner.

We show that lymphocytes obtained from patients with mucosal leishmaniasis and cutaneous leishmaniasis produce higher levels of IL‐17 than do lymphocytes obtained from uninfected control subjects (⁠P

Perhaps one of the most intriguing aspects of human Chagas disease is the complex network of events that underlie the generation of protective versus pathogenic immune responses during the chronic…

The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor delta (PPARδ) is a ligand-activated, nuclear receptor transcription factor that has a documented role in glucose and lipid homeostasis.

We discuss several applications of our ontology: to support interdisciplinary research by graphically representing a complex scientific theory, to facilitate meta-analysis across different studies, to highlight potential interactions, and to…

Selective memory deficits occur in individuals with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection and those with chronic alcoholism, but the potential compounded effect of these conditions is seldom considered, despite the…
