Serum pentraxin 3 as a possible marker for mature cystic teratomas by Chiharu Ishida (2556577)

“…Serum PTX3 levels of the MCT group were found to be significantly higher compared to those of the other groups, including healthy controls (<i>p </i>= 0.001), although carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) did not exhibit a significant difference. Serum PTX3 levels of the MCT, but not the endometrioma group, were also found to have significantly decreased post-operatively (mean ± standard deviation, 4.98 ± 2.10 to 3.61 ± 1.53 ng/mL). …”

A period of hypoxia reduces spontaneous electrical activity in hippocampal cultures. by Daniela Gavello (314289)

“…For all parameters, recovery was not significantly different from the hypoxic group. Data are given as mean ± S.E.M. (* p<0.05, **p<0.01 and ***p<0.001, using one way ANOVA followed by a Bonferroni post-hoc analysis).…”

Reversal rates as a function of dot luminance of the two motion-defined surfaces. by P. Christiaan Klink (180011)

“…<p>For the average group data (n = 5) the reversal rates of individual observers were normalized to the mean reversal rate over all conditions. Logically following from the demonstrated effect of dot-luminance induced percept probability on the mean dominance durations (<a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0003473#pone-0003473-g003" target="_blank">fig. 3</a> & <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0003473#pone-0003473-g004" target="_blank">fig. 4</a>) these plots demonstrate that for both the group data and the individual observers' reversal rates decrease when the luminance difference between the two surfaces increases. …”
