MRI Study of the Brain Structural Characteristic in Persecutory Delusions.

The structural MRI of the cortex, subcortical structures, hippocampal subfields, and brainstem regions in patients with persecutory delusions in schizophrenia (ICD-10 code: F20) and delusional disorder (ICD-10 code: F22.0) were analyzed. Patients demonstrated multiple regions of decreased cortical gray matter thickness, reduced volumes of the left thalamus and some hippocampal sub-fields compared to mentally healthy subjects.

Upper Limit on the Photoproduction Cross Section of the Spin-Exotic π_{1}(1600).

The spin-exotic hybrid meson π_{1}(1600) is predicted to have a large decay rate to the ωππ final state. Using 76.6  pb^{-1} of data collected with the GlueX detector, we measure the cross sections for the reactions γp→ωπ^{+}π^{-}p, γp→ωπ^{0}π^{0}p, and γp→ωπ^{-}π^{0}Δ^{++} in the range E_{γ}=8-10  GeV.

Mucoadhesive polyelectrolyte complexes of fucoidan and chitin nanowhiskers to prolong the antiprotozoal activity of metronidazole.

The improvement of the specific pharmacological activity of agents with antimicrobial and antiprotozoal properties (e.g. metronidazole, MET) is of interest for clinical applications in the treatment of bacterial infections.
