Combination of ATP (A) or αβ–meATP (B) with Lactate and Protons. by Nicholas S. Gregory (796912)

“…Combining protons, lactate, and ATP had a significant effect on muscle withdrawal (Repeated measures ANOVA F_5,27 = 17.986, p < 0.001), but only the most dilute combination (C4) was decreased relative to saline controls (Tukey test, p = 0.001). …”

Regulation of a stable patch size through positive and negative feedbacks. by Bita Khalili (5540561)

“…(F) Normalized frequency of observed simultaneous patches in WT, Ste6 overexpression and Gap1 overexpression cells. We note that the patch intensity decreases in Gap1 overexpression cells (<a href="http://www.ploscompbiol.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pcbi.1006317#pcbi.1006317.s009" target="_blank">S6A Fig</a>) while our threshold for patch detection is the same as wt cells; thus we cannot exclude the possibility of more patches in Gap1 overexpression cells below the detection threshold.…”

Non-pharmacological measures for pain relief in childbirth: a systematic review by Beatriz Távina Viana Cabral (16029576)

“…Results: 17 clinical trials made up the final sample, which highlight the use of non-pharmacological measures with diversified benefits for labor, namely: thermal therapy (20%); massage/sacral massage (15%); Swiss ball exercises (15%); acupressure (15%); auriculotherapy (10%); music therapy (10%); aromatherapy (5%); acupuncture (5%); and dance (5%). Conclusion: the non-pharmacological measures found in this review are efficient to promote pain reduction during labor, associated with a decrease in the use of drug interventions.…”

Fluorofoldamer-Based Salt- and Proton-Rejecting Artificial Water Channels for Ultrafast Water Transport by Jie Shen (31533)
