Verbal Encoding Strategies in Visuo-Spatial Working Memory.

Visual working memory and verbal storage are often investigated independently of one another. However, a growing body of evidence suggests that naming visual stimuli can provide an advantage in performance during visual working memory tasks. On the other hand, there is also evidence that labeling could lead to biases in recall.

Anti-inflammatory, immunostimulant and antimicrobial properties of tannic acid in the diet of Oreochromis niloticus infected with Aeromonas hydrophila.

The study aimed to assess the impact of dietary supplementation with tannic acid on the growth, health, and survival of Oreochromis niloticus following exposure to Aeromonas hydrophila. A total of 320 fish were divided into 16 tanks and assigned to four treatment groups: feed with 0.2 % tannic acid (TA), 0.

Recent Progress in Polyolefin Plastic: Polyethylene and Polypropylene Transformation and Depolymerization Techniques.

This paper highlights the complexity and urgency of addressing plastic pollution, drawing attention to the environmental challenges posed by improperly discarded plastics. Petroleum-based plastic polymers, with their remarkable range of physical properties, have revolutionized industries worldwide. Their versatility-from flexible to rigid and hydrophilic to hydrophobic-has fueled an ever-growing demand.

Twenty-four weeks of combined training in different environments, aquatic and land, in the type 2 diabetes management (Aquatic and Land Exercise for Diabetes -ALED): protocol of a randomized clinical trial.

Background: Physical exercise is crucial in type 2 diabetes management (T2D), and training in the aquatic environment seems to be a promising alternative due to its physical properties and metabolic, functional, cardiovascular, and neuromuscular benefits. Research on combined training in aquatic and dry-land training environments is scarce, especially in long-term interventions. Thus, this study aims to investigate the effects of combined training in both environments on health outcomes related to the management of T2D patients.

The impact of mechanical insufflation-exsufflation on the weaning success rate of tracheostomized patients on prolonged mechanical ventilation: a pilot and feasibility study of a randomized controlled trial.

Objective: To evaluate the feasibility of adding mechanical insufflation-exsufflation (MI-E) to a weaning protocol for tracheostomized patients undergoing prolonged mechanical ventilation (MV).

Design: Single-center, open-label, randomized, controlled pilot and feasibility study.

Setting: Intensive care unit in Brazil.
