Pythiosis, caused by Pythium insidiosum, is an infectious and non-transmissible disease affecting horses, dogs, and humans, with no effective drug treatment available. Triazoles are compounds of interest for their potential pharmacological properties against fungi and bacteria. In this study, we synthesized three new triazole compounds (C1, C2, and C3) to assess their in vitro activities against P.

Background: Real-world evidence describing the natural history of all manifestations and severities of psoriasis is needed, as existing studies often recruit from a restricted patient population, and treatment failure and dissatisfaction is common. The FORWARD Psoriasis Registry collects patient-reported data directly online from participants independent of clinician involvement.
Objective: To test the feasibility of this new registry design and compare baseline characteristics, patient-reported disease outcomes, and treatment utilization between participants enrolling through their clinician (primary enrollment group) and participants self-enrolling online (secondary).
Anomia is a common consequence following brain damage and a central symptom in semantic dementia (SD) and post-stroke aphasia (PSA), for instance. Picture naming tests are often used in clinical assessments and experience suggests that items vary systematically in their difficulty. Despite clinical intuitions and theoretical accounts, however, the existence and determinants of such a naming difficulty gradient remain to be empirically established and evaluated.

Offspring were assigned to either small litters (SL; 4 pups/mother), resulting in increased milk intake and body weight gain, or normal litters (NL; 10 pups/mother). On postnatal day (PND) 21, half of the male rats were euthanized, while the remaining were kept under standard conditions (4 rats/cage) until PND70.
