Impact of Various Essential Oils on the Development of Pathogens of the Genus and on Health and Germination Parameters of Winter Wheat and Maize.

Currently, researchers are looking for ways to replace synthetic pesticides with substances of natural origin. Essential oils are produced by plants, among other things, to protect against pathogens, which is why there is interest in their use as fungicides. This experiment assessed the composition of essential oils from a commercial source, their impact on the development of mycelium of pathogens of the genus, and the possibility of using them as a pre-sowing treatment.

Impact of the COVID-19 nonpharmaceutical interventions on influenza and other respiratory viral infections in New Zealand.

Stringent nonpharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) such as lockdowns and border closures are not currently recommended for pandemic influenza control. New Zealand used these NPIs to eliminate coronavirus disease 2019 during its first wave. Using multiple surveillance systems, we observed a parallel and unprecedented reduction of influenza and other respiratory viral infections in 2020.

Covariation of Ergot Severity and Alkaloid Content Measured by HPLC and One ELISA Method in Inoculated Winter Rye across Three Isolates and Three European Countries.

Ergot caused by is a problem for food and feed security in rye due to the occurrence of toxic ergot alkaloids (EAs). For grain elevators and breeders, a quick, easy-to-handle, and cheap screening assay would have a high economic impact. The study was performed to reveal (1) the covariation of ergot severity (= percentage of sclerotia in harvested grain) and the content of 12 EAs determined by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and (2) the covariation between these traits and results of one commercial enzyme linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA).

Mapping Stem Rust ( f. sp. ) Resistance in Self-Fertile Winter Rye Populations.

Rye stem rust caused by f. sp. can be found in all European rye growing regions.

Insult-induced aberrant hippocampal neurogenesis: Functional consequences and possible therapeutic strategies.

Adult hippocampal neurogenesis plays a critical role in a wide spectrum of hippocampus-dependent functions. Brain pathologies that involve the hippocampus like epilepsy, stroke, and traumatic brain injury, are commonly associated with cognitive impairments and mood disorders. These insults can affect neural stem cells and the subsequent neurogenic cascade in the hippocampus, resulting in the induction of aberrant neurogenesis, which is thought to compromise hippocampal network function, thereby hampering hippocampus-dependent behavior.

Diverse action of repeated corticosterone treatment on synaptic transmission, neuronal plasticity, and morphology in superficial and deep layers of the rat motor cortex.

One of the adverse effects of prolonged stress in rats is impaired performance of skilled reaching and walking tasks. The mechanisms that lead to these abnormalities are incompletely understood. Therefore, we compared the effects of twice daily repeated corticosterone injections for 7 days on miniature excitatory postsynaptic currents (mEPSCs), as well as on synaptic plasticity and morphology of layers II/III and V pyramidal neurons of the primary motor cortex (M1) of male Wistar rats.

Imipramine ameliorates early life stress-induced alterations in synaptic plasticity in the rat lateral amygdala.

Long-term potentiation (LTP) and long-term depression (LTD) are two opposite forms of synaptic plasticity at the cortical and thalamic inputs to the lateral amygdala (LA). It has been demonstrated that maternal separation (MS) of rat pups results in alterations in the potential for both pathways to undergo LTP and LTD in adolescence. Imipramine, a prototypic tricyclic antidepressant, has been shown to counteract some detrimental effects of MS on rat behavior, however it is not known whether MS-induced alterations in the potential for bidirectional synaptic plasticity in the LA could be reversed by imipramine treatment.

Early life stress alters synaptic modification range in the rat lateral amygdala.

The influence of exposure to early adversity on emotional learning later in life remains poorly understood. Long-term potentiation (LTP) in the cortico-amygdalar and thalamo-amygdalar pathways has been postulated to provide a mechanism of synaptic modifications underlying fear learning and memory. These synapses also express homosynaptic long-term depression (LTD).

"Are we Facebook official?" Implications of dating partners' Facebook use and profiles for intimate relationship satisfaction.

Extending previous research on positive and negative correlates of Facebook use for individuals' outcomes, this study examined male and female dating partners' (n=58 couples) Facebook use and portrayals of their intimate relationship on the Facebook profile. Confirming hypotheses from compatibility theories of mate selection, partners demonstrated similar Facebook intensity (e.g.

Brief neck restraint stress enhances long-term potentiation and suppresses long-term depression in the dentate gyrus of the mouse.

We studied the effects of brief (10 min) neck restraint on long-term potentiation (LTP) and long-term depression (LTD) in mouse dentate gyrus (DG) slices. Brain slices were prepared immediately after neck restraint and LTP/LTD induction was attempted 3.5h later.

[On the physiopathologic reactions of pharyngeal tonsil from the clinical standpoint (author's transl)].

On the basis of personal experiences the authors isolate two forms of pharyngeal tonsil hypertrophy: a physiological and a pathological one. The first one corresponds to the requirements of the organism which is not completely mature immunologically, it may be quite considerable but causes no disturbances in breathing through the nose or in the function of Eustachian tubes. The pathological hypertrophy of pharyngeal tonsil is due to a parenchymal inflammation caused by viruses with a typical pathogenesis.

[Evidence of viral aetiology in exudative otitis media in childhood (author's transl)].

Many clinical observations point to a primary viral cause in exudative otitis media. This seromucinous inflammation may then develop into a purulent inflammatory phase as a result of subsequent bacterial infection. The aetiology of otitis media may thus be viral, viral bacterial or bacterial.
