Activity of Thymus capitellatus volatile extract, 1,8-cineoleand borneol agains...

In the search for new leishmanicidal agents, Thymus capitellatus Hoffmanns. & Link (familyLamiaceae) volatile extract and its major compounds, 1,8-cineole and borneol, were testedagainst Leishmania infantum, Leishmania tropica and Leishmania major. Plant volatile extract(essential oil) was analysed by GC and GC–MS and the activity of essential oil on Leishmaniapromastigotes viability was assessed using tetrazol...

International recommendations for the assessment of autoantibodies to cellular ...

Anti-nuclear antibodies (ANA) are fundamental for the diagnosis of autoimmune diseases, and have been determined by indirect immunofluorescence assay (IIFA) for decades. As the demand for ANA testing increased, alternative techniques were developed challenging the classic IIFA. These alternative platforms differ in their antigen profiles, sensitivity and specificity, raising uncertainties regarding standardisat...

The HIF1A Functional Genetic Polymorphism at Locus +1772 Associates with Progre...

The hypoxia inducible factor 1 alpha (HIF1a) is a key regulator of tumour cell response to hypoxia, orchestrating mechanisms known to be involved in cancer aggressiveness and metastatic behaviour. In this study we sought to evaluate the association of a functional genetic polymorphism in HIF1A with overall and metastatic prostate cancer (PCa) risk and with response to androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). The HIF...

Suicidal behaviour in frontotemporal dementia patients-a retrospective study

Long-term mortality analysis in Parkinson's disease treated with deep brain sti...

Background. Few data have been published regarding long-term mortality in patients with Parkinson's disease treated with DBS. Methods. This study analyzed long-term mortality rates, causes, and correlates in PD patients treated with DBS. Results. 184 consecutive patients were included; mean follow-up was 50 months. Fifteen deaths occurred (total 8.15%, annual mortality rate 1.94%). Mean age at disease onset and...

Suicidal behaviour in frontotemporal dementia patients-a retrospective study

Simulated hemodynamics in human carotid bifurcation based on Doppler ultrasound...

Background: Atherosclerotic lesions commonly develop at arterial branch sites. Noninvasive carotid artery ultrasound is a well-established and effective method which allows real-time images and measurements of flow velocities. We aimed to develop a methodology for patient-specific computational 3D reconstruction and blood flow simulation based on ultrasound image data. Material and Methods: Subject-specific stu...
