Resilience in adolescence during the COVID-19 crisis in Canada.

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic constitutes a social crisis that will have long-term health consequences for much of the global population, especially for adolescents. Adolescents are triply affected as they: 1) are experiencing its immediate, direct effects, 2) will carry forward health habits they develop now into adulthood, and 3) as future parents, will shape the early life health of the next generation. It is therefore imperative to assess how the pandemic is influencing adolescent wellbeing, identify sources of resilience, and outline strategies for attenuating its negative impacts.

Electrical Stimulation of the Auricular Branch Vagus Nerve Using Random and Alternating Frequencies Triggers a Rapid Onset and Pronounced Antihyperalgesia via Peripheral Annexin A1-Formyl Peptide Receptor 2/ALX Pathway in a Mouse Model of Persistent Inflammatory Pain.

This study evaluated the antihyperalgesic and anti-inflammatory effects of percutaneous vagus nerve electrical stimulation (pVNS) by comparing the effects of alternating and random frequencies in an animal model of persistent inflammatory hyperalgesia. The model was induced by Freund's complete adjuvant (CFA) intraplantar (i.pl.

Stabilometric analysis as a cognitive function predictor in adults over the age of 50: A cross-sectional study conducted in a Memory Clinic.

Background: The aging process reduces adaptive balance responses. Two-thirds of older adults with cognitive problems suffer at least one fall every year, a rate three times higher than that observed in older adults without dementia. This cross-sectional study aims to analyze the relationship between balance and cognitive status in adults older than 50 years.

Profile of LH release in response to intramuscular treatment with kisspeptin in Bos indicus and Bos taurus prepubertal heifers.

The main objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of intramuscular (I.M.) administration of different doses of kisspeptin (Kp) on the pattern of luteinizing hormone (LH) release in Bos taurus and Bos indicus prepubertal heifers.

Generation and characterization of a human iPS cell line from a patient-related control to study disease mechanisms associated with DAND5 p.R152H alteration.

A DAND5-control human iPSC line was generated from the urinary cells of a phenotypically normal donor. Exfoliated renal epithelial (RE) cells were collected and reprogrammed into iPSCs using Sendai virus reprogramming system. The pluripotency, in vitro differentiation potential, karyotype stability, and the transgene-free status of generated iPSC line were analyzed and confirmed.
