Growth hormone secretagogue peptide-6 enhances oreochromicins transcription and antimicrobial activity in tilapia (Oreochromis sp.).

Growth Hormone-Releasing Peptide 6 (GHRP-6) (His-(D-Trp)-Ala-Trp-(D-Phe)-Lys-NH2) is an agonist of the growth hormone secretagogue receptor. GHRP-6 mimics the effect of ghrelin. The present study focuses on the immunomodulatory effects of GHRP-6 in tilapia with and without the presence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection.

Catatonia-Induced Saddle Pulmonary Embolism.

In this case report, we highlight a patient with catatonia secondary to schizoaffective disorder, depressive type. This patient developed a bilateral deep venous thrombosis progressing to a saddle pulmonary embolism without any predisposing factors to hypercoagulability other than immobility and obesity. The goal of this case report is to increase monitoring and prophylactic treatment for deep venous thrombosis in patients with catatonia, retarded type.

You Are The One Who Was Beating Me": A Case Report of a Patient with Postictal Psychosis Secondary to Bilateral Temporal Lobe Epilepsy.

Postictal psychosis is a rare but potentially serious complication in patients with seizure disorders. There is no consensus on best practices in managing and treating postictal psychosis as well as other psychoses of epilepsy, but current research is investigating topics such as adherence to seizure medications and antipsychotic administration during or before psychosis and addressing psychosocial stressors as potential components of effective treatment. We present a case report detailing a patient's lengthy history of postictal psychosis due to her underlying temporal lobe epilepsy; her disease course as correlated by a diagnostic electroencephalogram (EEG), her history of medication nonadherence, and the treatment of postictal psychosis are also discussed.

Cosmological Constraints from Multiple Probes in the Dark Energy Survey.

The combination of multiple observational probes has long been advocated as a powerful technique to constrain cosmological parameters, in particular dark energy. The Dark Energy Survey has measured 207 spectroscopically confirmed type Ia supernova light curves, the baryon acoustic oscillation feature, weak gravitational lensing, and galaxy clustering. Here we present combined results from these probes, deriving constraints on the equation of state, w, of dark energy and its energy density in the Universe.
