Metabolomic modelling and neuroprotective effects of carvacrol against acrylamide toxicity in rat's brain and sciatic nerve.

The study aimed to investigate the harmful effects of acrylamide (AA), which forms in carbohydrate-rich foods at temperatures above 120°C, on the central and peripheral nervous systems and to evaluate the potential neuroprotective effects of carvacrol (CRV). Male Wistar Albino rats were subjected to AA (40 mg/kg/bw/day) and CRV (50 mg/kg/bw/day) for 15 days. Following the last administration, evaluations revealed disrupted gait, heightened thermal sensitivity and altered paw withdrawal thresholds in AA-exposed rats.

Neural correlates of the attention training technique as used in metacognitive therapy - A randomized sham-controlled fMRI study in healthy volunteers.

Introduction: The Attention Training Technique (ATT) developed as part of metacognitive therapy is a psychotherapeutic treatment method used to enhance top-down attentional flexibility and control. This study investigated potential neurocognitive changes due to ATT and its underlying neural mechanisms using pre-to-post functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI).

Materials And Methods: Fifty-four healthy participants were subjected to a randomized, sham-controlled attention training and evaluated using a neurocognitive test battery that partly took place in an fMRI environment.

Profile of homeless people in emergency departments.

Objectives: For homeless people, emergency departments (ED) are the place of medical care and satisfying physiological, safety and social needs. The treatment of the homeless in EDs is a common issue in many countries. The aim of study was to analyze selected parameters of health care to homeless people in EDs.

NEUROLOGICAL MANIFESTATIONS OF PROLACTINOMA (CASE REPORT).

This article describes a clinical case of prolactinoma, the onset of which was diagnosed after long-term use of eglonil, after the appearance of such side effects as galactorrhea. This clinical case is a unique one because of the peculiarities of diagnostic search. The first complaints of the patient were anxiety and fear, fatigue, frequent mood swings, memory disoders.
