Assessment of cognitive and psychiatric disturbances in people with post-COVID-19 condition: a cross-sectional observational study.

Objective: Cognitive and psychiatric symptoms have been increasingly reported after severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection, developing soon after infection and possibly persisting for several months. We aimed to study this syndrome and start implementing strategies for its assessment.

Methods: Consecutive patients, referred by the infectious disease specialist because of cognitive complaints after COVID-19, were neurologically evaluated.

TERRA expression is regulated by the telomere-binding proteins POT-1 and POT-2 in Caenorhabditis elegans.

Several aspects of telomere biology are regulated by the telomeric repeat-containing RNA TERRA. While TERRA expression is conserved through evolution, species-specific mechanisms regulate its biogenesis and function. Here we report on the expression of TERRA in Caenorhabditis elegans.

Recent innovations in non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) for the treatment of unipolar and bipolar depression: a narrative review.

Depression, either bipolar or unipolar, is a highly prevalent and disabling condition. Even though several treatment options exist for depressed patients, a significant portion of individuals receiving conventional pharmacotherapy fails to achieve and sustain remission. For this reason, there is a strong need for effective alternatives to pharmacotherapy.

A Hierarchical Model To Understand the Processing of Polysaccharides/Protein-Based Films in Ionic Liquids.

In recent years, biomaterials from abundant and renewable sources have shown potential in medicine and materials science alike. In this study, we combine theoretical modeling, molecular dynamics simulations, and several experimental techniques to understand the regeneration of cellulose/silk-, chitin/silk-, and chitosan/silk-based biocomposites after dissolution in ionic liquid and regeneration in water. We propose a novel theoretical model that correlates the composite's microscopic structure to its bulk properties.
