Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBridging from Cells to Cognition in Autism Pathophysiology: Biological Pathways to Defective Brain Function and PlasticityMatthew P. Anderson, Brian S. Hooker, Martha R. HerbertWe review evidence to support a model where the disease process underlying autism may begin when an in utero or early postnatal environmental, infectious, seizure, or autoimmune insult triggers an immune response that increases reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in the brain that leads to DNA damage (nuclear and mitochondrial) and metabolic enzyme blockade and that these inflammatory and oxidative … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2008 · 17,461 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHIV-1 Infection and Central Monoamine NeurotransmittersAdarsh M. Kumar, J. B. Fernandez, Irina Borodowsky et al.Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) enters the central nervous system (CNS) shortly after infection and gets localized in different brain regions, leading to various types of neuropathological problems. It has been hypothesized that HIV-1 infection mediated neuropathogenesis may also adversely affect the activity of the central monoamine neurotransmitters systems, such as dopamine (DA), and 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT, serotonin), resulting in … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,493 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssessment of Canadian Regulations and Remediation Methods for Diesel Oil Contaminated SoilsD. G. Rushton, A E. Ghaly, K. MartinellDiesel fuel released into the environment can contaminate ground water, degrade potable water supplies and cause the collapse of fisheries. They are toxic to both animals and humans and can affect the liver, lungs, kidneys, and nervous system leading to cancer as well as immunological and reproductive effects. The objectives of this study were to review current Canadian regulations pertaining … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2007 · 8,764 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOpiates Upregulate Adhesion Molecule Expression in Brain MicroVascular Endothelial Cells (BMVEC): Implications for Altered Blood Brain Barrier (BBB) PermeabilityMadhavan P.N. Nair, Supriya D. Mahajan, Jessica L. ReynoldsThe blood-brain barrier (BBB) is an intricate cellular system composed of vascular endothelial cells and perivascular astrocytes that restrict the passage of immunocompetent cells into the central nervous system (CNS). Expression of the adhesion molecules, intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1) and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) on brain microvascular endothelial cells (BMVEC) and their interaction with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1) … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2006 · 6,614 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMedical Abdominal Visceral Pain in DogsAlice Catanzaro, Giorgia della Rocca, Alessandra Di Salvo, Mary Ellen GoldbergAbdominal visceral pain of medical origin is one of the most frequent reasons for request of medical treatment in humans. Its control is of paramount importance not only for ethical reasons, but also because, if untreated, pain can cause a stress response leading to alterations concerning many organs and apparatuses. Causes of acute or chronic medical visceral pain in men … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 15 Jun 2015 · 14,002 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTransient Receptor Potential Vanilloid 1 Involvement in Animal Pain PerceptionCristina Vercelli, R. Barbero, G. ReIn last decades, Transient Receptor Potential Vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) has been the target of a large number of scientific investigations. It has been identified as a polymodal transducer molecule on a sub-set of primary sensory neurons which responds to various endogenous and exogenous stimuli including noxious heat (more than 42°C), protons and vanilloids such as capsaicin, the hot ingredient of … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 30 Mar 2015 · 7,269 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCryptococcal Meningitis in Immunocompetent Patient-Case ReportYanes Brum Bello, Hanna Guapyassu Machado, Juliana Freitas Silveira et al.Cryptococcal Meningitis (CM) is a rare infection in immunocompetent patients. A kind of central nervous system infection caused by encapsulated yeast-like fungus Cryptococcus neoformans. A 59-year-old man presented to the Neurology Department of Nova Iguacu General Hospital, complaining has felt &#34muddled&#34 recently and feeling diaphragmatic spasm without any apparent cause. In addition, at neurological examination, the patient was slightly confused … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 2 May 2013 · 8,003 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStem Cells in Traumatic Brain InjurySamuel Dobrowolski, Guilherme LepskiTraumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is a devastating clinical condition that often causes permanent incapacity, especially in the younger population. The clinical relevant of TBI justifies the scientific interest in the pathophysiology of TBI, as well as in protective effects and development of treatment options. Stem cells have the ability to induce neuroprotection and neural repair inflammatory suppression, causing tissue reconstruction … …Neuroscience International, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 12 Apr 2013 · 7,568 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalysis of Handwriting Velocity to Identify Handwriting Process from Electromyographic SignalsMohamed Benrejeb, Afef Abdelkrim, Ines ChihiProblem statement: Handwriting movement is one of the most complex activities of human motions. It’s a blend of kinesthetic, cognitive, perceptual and motor components. The study of this biological process shows that a bell-shaped velocity profiles are generally observed in the handwriting motion. We, therefore, assume that the handwriting speed has an important role in control and generation of this … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 10 · 27 Aug 2012 · 7,925 accessesView PDFCite
