Insulin-like Growth Factor Binding Proteins and Cellular Senescence Are Involved in the Progression of Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease and Fibrosis in a Mouse Model.

: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is highly prevalent worldwide. It progresses from simple steatosis to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Fibrosis is often present during NAFLD progression; however, factors determining which subjects develop NASH or fibrosis are unclear.

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic Lockdown on Migraine Patients in Latin America.

The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, confinement, fear, lifestyle changes, and worldwide health care impacted almost all diseases. Reports from countries outside Latin America revealed differences in migraine patients. In this study, we describe and compare the immediate changes in migraine symptoms associated with COVID-19 quarantine in patients from Argentina, Mexico, and Peru.

Effect of 3D-MOT training on the execution of manual dexterity skills in a population of older adults with mild cognitive impairment and mild dementia.

Computerized cognitive training tools are an alternative to preventive treatments related to cognitive impairment and aging. In this study, the transfer of 3D multiple object tracking (3D-MOT) training on manual dexterity concerning fine and gross motor skills in 38 elderly participants, half of them with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and the other half with mild dementia (MD) was explored. A total of 36 sessions of the 3D-MOT training program were administered to the subjects.

Characterization of cyclic alternating pattern in infants with laryngomalacia.

Objective: Cyclic alternanting pattern (CAP) has been considered a marker of sleep instability in children. The aim of this study was to evaluate the CAP in infants with laryngomalacia.

Material And Methods: CAP were quantified in 15 infants with laryngomalacia (mean age 167.

Auditory and visual P300 event-related potentials to detect minimal hepatic encephalopathy.

Introduction: the diagnosis of minimal hepatic encephalopathy (MHE) requires psychometric tests, although new methods are needed since their sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy are low. The P300 event-related potential (ERP) is obtained by auditory and visual stimuli, although only the auditory P300 has been used to detect MHE. This study aimed to compare the diagnostic features of auditory and visual P300 to detect MHE.
