Unraveling the neuroprotective effect of perampanel and lacosamide combination in the corneal kindling model for epilepsy in mice.

Background: Scientific evidence to guide clinicians on the use of different antiseizure drugs in combination therapy is either very limited or lacking. In this study, the impact of lacosamide and perampanel alone and in combination was tested in corneal kindling model in mice, which is a cost-effective mechanism for screening of antiseizure drugs.

Methods: The impact of lacosamide (5 mg/kg) and perampanel (0.

De novo and inherited dominant variants in U4 and U6 snRNAs cause retinitis pigmentosa.

The U4 small nuclear RNA (snRNA) forms a duplex with the U6 snRNA and, together with U5 and ~30 proteins, is part of the U4/U6.U5 tri-snRNP complex, located at the core of the major spliceosome. Recently, recurrent variants in the U4 RNA, transcribed from the gene, and in at least two other genes were discovered to cause neurodevelopmental disorder.

Co-administration of coenzyme Q10 and curcumin mitigates cognitive deficits and exerts neuroprotective effects in aluminum chloride-induced Alzheimer's disease in aged mice.

Aluminum chloride (AlCl), a known neurotoxic and Alzheimerogenic metal disrupts redox homeostasis which plays a pivotal role in pathophysiology of neurodegenerative disorders, particularly cognitive decline. The current study was designed to unveil the long-term neuroprotective outcomes and efficacy of CoQ10 and curcumin low dose (100 mg/kg each) combination in 18-months old geriatric male Balb/c mice subjected to AlCl-prompted memory derangements (200 mg/kg in water bottles) for 28 days. The neuroprotective properties driven by antioxidant mechanisms were assessed via observing cellular pathology in key-memory related brain regions including the cornuammonis (CA3 and DG) and cortex 2/3 layer.

Automated Stock Volume Estimation Using UAV-RGB Imagery.

Forests play a critical role in the global carbon cycle, with carbon storage being an important carbon pool in the terrestrial ecosystem with tree crown size serving as a versatile ecological indicator influencing factors such as tree growth, wind resistance, shading, and carbon sequestration. They help with habitat function, herbicide application, temperature regulation, etc. Understanding the relationship between tree crown area and stock volume is crucial, as it provides a key metric for assessing the impact of land-use changes on ecological processes.
