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.

Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 - a case report.

Unlabelled: Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 is a rare hereditary disease with an autosomal dominant type of inheritance characterized by high penetrance and the presence of hyperplasia and neoplasia in at least two different endocrine organs. The most often synchronously or consistently developing tumors are in the thyroid glands, the gastrointestinal tract and the adenohypophysis.

A Case Study: A patient 41-year-old with multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 was treated with radiolabeled somatostatin analogues as a new promising treatment for patients with inoperable or metastatic neuroendocrine tumors.

Homeless people under the influence of alcohol admitted to hospital emergency departments in Poland.

Aim: To assess the incidence of diagnoses related to alcohol use in the population of homeless people admitted to hospital emergency departments (EDs).

Material And Method: Data were analysed from three hospitals concerning stays of homeless people in three EDs in Bydgoszcz, Poland, in 2013-2015; 3133 stays were identified. The data were compiled using Microsoft Excel and Statistica 10 statistical software.

One Step Ahead-Attention Control Capabilities at Baseline Are Associated With the Effectiveness of the Attention Training Technique.

Background: Attentional control has been observed to play an important role in affective disorders by impacting information processing, the ability to exert top-down control in response to distracting stimuli, and by affecting emotional regulation. Prior studies demonstrated an association between attentional control and response to psychotherapy, thereby identifying attentional control as an interesting prognostic pre-treatment factor. Improving attentional control and flexibility is a cornerstone in metacognitive therapy (MCT), which is trained by the use of the Attentional Training Technique (ATT).

DNA Taxonomy Confirms the Identity of the Widely-Disjunct Mediterranean and Atlantic Populations of the Tufted Ghost Crab (Crustacea: Decapoda: Ocypodidae).

The distribution area of the tufted ghost crab includes two widely separate sub-areas, i.e. the tropical and subtropical Atlantic coasts of Africa and Macaronesia, and the central-eastern Mediterranean basin.

Effect of chitosan on sealer penetration into the dentinal tubules.

Objective: The objective of this study is to compare the effectiveness of final irrigation with chitosan, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), and citric acid (CA) on a resin-based sealer (AH plus sealer [Dentsply DeTrey, Konstanz, Germany]) penetration into dentinal tubules using confocal laser scanning microscopy.

Materials And Methods: Seventy recently extracted human mandibular premolars were instrumented and irrigated with sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), then divided into four groups according to the final irrigation regimen used: (1) the EDTA group: 17% EDTA + 2.5% NaOCl, (2) the CA group: 10% CA + 2.

Prevalence of Subclinical Hypothyroidism among Patients with Acute Myocardial Infarction.

Introduction. Subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) is defined as a serum thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) level above the upper limit of normal despite normal levels of serum free thyroxine. There is growing evidence that SCH is associated with increased cardiovascular risk.

Concentration and vertical distribution of 137Cs in the undisturbed soil of southwestern Nigeria.

The results of measurements of 137Cs in soil profiles that were sampled in undisturbed soil in Ondo, Ekiti, and Oyo states in the southwestern area of Nigeria are presented in this paper. Samples were collected from nine soil profiles. The vertical distributions of 137Cs in the soil profiles have been determined.

Object-based and environment-based inhibition of return of visual attention.

Efficient search for an object often requires that attention be prevented from returning to recently examined environmental loci. M. I.
