Purpose: A growing body of evidence has shown that electroencephalography (EEG) is an interesting method of assessing the underlying brain physiology associated with disordered eating. Using EEG, we sought to evaluate brain reactivity to hyper-palatable food cues in undergraduate students with disordered eating behavior (DEB).
Methods: After assessing the eating behaviors of twenty-six undergraduate students using the Eating Attitudes Test (EAT-26), electroencephalographic signals were recorded while the participants were presented with pictures of hyper-palatable food.
Article Synopsis
- The study explores how vaccines specifically designed for the Omicron XBB.1.5 variant can generate effective B-cell responses, focusing on the antibody responses in individuals who received a monovalent vaccine.
- Researchers analyzed immune responses from 603 plasmablasts, expressing 100 human monoclonal antibodies to assess their effectiveness against various SARS-CoV-2 variants.
- Two specific monoclonal antibodies, M2 and M39, were identified; M2 targeted only XBB.1.5 while M39 could neutralize both XBB.1.5 and JN.1, highlighting the functional potential of variant-specific vaccines.
Guarana seeds are typically processed using one of three drying methods: traditional sun exposure, greenhouse drying, or the oven technique. In our research, we evaluated the contents of methylxanthines and flavan-3-ols in sun- and -dried guarana seeds from Bahia State's Low Sul Identity Territory. Caffeine, theobromine, catechin, and epicatechin were determined by high-performance liquid chromatography with UV-visible detection (HPLC/UV-vis).

Athletes with tetraplegia may experience marked hyperthermia while exercising under environmental heat stress due to their limited ability to dissipate heat through evaporative means. This study investigated the effectiveness of two external cooling strategies (i.e.

Background: High-alert medication (HAM) is more predictable to cause significant harm to the patient, even when used as intended. The damage related to the HAM lead not only suffering to the patient, but also raise the additional costs associated with care.
Objective: Evaluate the incidence of drug-related adverse events related to the use of high-alert medications.
