Article Abstract

One specific analog of arginine vasopressin, 1-desamine-8-D-arginine vasopressin (DDAVP), has been shown to improve learning and memory in humans. Healthy young male adult subjects treated with DDAVP demonstrated better memory for implicational sentences than did control subjects. The same treatment had no influence on women given the same memory task. These results suggest that DDAVP may have a sexually dimorphic effect on learning and memory.

Comparative Analysis of Recurrent Neural Networks with Conjoint Fingerprints for Skin Corrosion Prediction.

J Chem Inf Model

January 2025

Division of Pharmaceutical Chemistry, Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Khon Kaen University, Khon Kaen 40002, Thailand.

Skin corrosion assessment is an essential toxicity end point that addresses safety concerns for topical dosage forms and cosmetic products. Previously, skin corrosion assessments required animal testing; however, differences in skin architecture and ethical concerns regarding animal models have fostered the advancement of alternative methods such as and models. This study aimed to develop deep learning (DL) models based on recurrent neural networks (RNNs) for classifying skin corrosion of chemical compounds based on chemical language notation, molecular substructure, physicochemical properties, and a combination of these three properties called conjoint fingerprints.

Resident-led Seminar and Workshop on Airway Management for Physician Assistant Students: Evaluating Efficacy and Memory Retention.

J Physician Assist Educ

January 2025

Juan M. Salgado, MD, Department of Anesthesiology, University of Kansas School of Medicine-Wichita, Wichita, Kansas. He was responsible for concept initiation, presenting the seminar and workshop, data collection and analysis, drafting the manuscript, and approval of the final manuscript.

Introduction: Physician assistants (PAs) should understand the implications and risks involved with airway management. Our study aimed to facilitate PA students' familiarity with airway management with instruction from anesthesiology residents. We assessed the students' knowledge of airway management both before and after a seminar to see if knowledge was retained.

Given the influence of cognitive abilities on life outcomes, there is inherent value in identifying genes involved in controlling learning and memory. Further, cognitive dysfunction is a core feature of many neuropsychiatric disorders. Here, we use a combinatory in silico approach to identify human gene targets that will have an especially high likelihood of individually and directly impacting cognition.

Brain tumors can cause difficulties in normal brain function and are capable of developing in various regions of the brain. Malignant tumours can develop quickly, pass through neighboring tissues, and extend to further brain regions or the central nervous system. In contrast, healthy tumors typically develop slowly and do not invade surrounding tissues.

Odors are known to entertain a special link with memory: once the meaning of an odor has been learned, it naturally acts as a retrieval cue of the learning context, along with the emotions and behaviors associated with it. The existence of this link has for several years inspired the study of olfactory function in Alzheimer's disease (AD), known for the memory disorders it causes. The aim of this review is to summarize the current scientific knowledge on the almost paradoxical dual role played by odors in the management of AD, as both screening and therapeutic tools.
