The pharmacokinetics of BAY w 8199, the active metabolite of the prodrug repirinast (BAY u 2372), has been investigated after oral administration of 150, 300 and 450 mg repirinast to twelve healthy male Caucasians. Plasma BAY w 8199 concentrations were very variable between subjects. The mean peak level (geom.mean; 1s-range) was 0.14 (0.08-0.25), 0.19 (0.13-0.29) and 0.24 (0.14-0.42) mg/l after the 150, 300 and 450 mg doses, respectively. Peak levels were reached 0.5-2.5 h after drug intake. Terminal half-lives were calculated as 5.9 h (150 mg), 8.0 h (300 mg) and 9.8 h (450 mg). The dose proportionality of the plasma profiles of BAY w 8199 and of its excretion in urine was demonstrated by testing several parameters. About 7.4% of each dose (calculated as BAY w 8199) was excreted in urine over 36 h. The renal clearance of about 27 l/h suggests that BAY w8199 is excreted by tubular secretion in addition to glomerular filtration.

Child-directed speech (CDS), which amplifies acoustic and social features of speech during interactions with young children, promotes typical phonetic and language development. In autism, both behavioral and brain data indicate reduced sensitivity to human speech, which predicts absent, decreased, or atypical benefits of exaggerated speech signals such as CDS. This study investigates the impact of exaggerated fundamental frequency (F0) and voice-onset time on the neural processing of speech sounds in 22 Chinese-speaking autistic children aged 2-7 years old with a history of speech delays, compared with 25 typically developing (TD) peers.

Unlabelled: Wetlands cover a small portion of the world, but have disproportionate influence on global carbon (C) sequestration, carbon dioxide and methane emissions, and aquatic C fluxes. However, the underlying biogeochemical processes that affect wetland C pools and fluxes are complex and dynamic, making measurements of wetland C challenging. Over decades of research, many observational, experimental, and analytical approaches have been developed to understand and quantify pools and fluxes of wetland C.

Background: People with Parkinson's disease (PWP) and their care partners (CP) are underrepresented in research.
Methods: As an eight-week research advocacy training program, TeleDREAMS was designed to increase understanding of, and participation in, clinical research by older adults through topics on the research process. Qualitative analysis was conducted to explore themes from 365 thirty-minute semistructured phone interviews with 32 PWP and 17 CP TeleDREAMS participants.

The basal levels of salicylic acid (SA) vary dramatically among plant species. In the shoot, for example, rice contains almost 100 times higher SA levels than Arabidopsis. Despite its high basal levels, neither the biosynthetic pathway nor the biological functions of SA are well understood in rice.

Invasive species present a major conservation threat globally and nowhere are their affects more pronounced than in island ecosystems. Determining how native island populations respond demographically to invasive species can provide information to mitigate the negative effects of invasive species. Using 20 years of mark-recapture data from three sympatric species of albatrosses (black-browed Thalassarche melanophris, grey-headed T.
