Phytochemicals as Micronutrients: What Is their Therapeutic Promise in the Management of Traumatic Brain Injury? by Al-Haj, Nadine

“…In this regards, phytochemicals have been acknowledged to cause a significant decrease in neuronal injury through different mechanisms including the activation of the Nrf2 transcription factor leading to activation of several antioxidant enzyme systems such as superoxide dismutase, inhibition of NADPH oxidases (NOX) enzymes, suppression of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) activity and reduction of the release of inflammatory mediators, suppression of the NLRP3 inflammasome, stimulation of neurogenesis by activating neurotrophic factors (BDNF), among others. …”

Co-doped zigzag graphene nanoribbon based gas sensor for sensitive detection of H2S: DFT study by Salih, Ehab

“…For the case of H2S/Cu/Zn-ZGNR, the adsorption energy (Eads) and charge transfer (Δq) reflected an outstanding increase to −7.043 eV and −0.311 e, respectively, when compared with both pristine and doped systems: ZGNR, Zn-ZGNR, and Cu-ZGNR. Moreover, the adsorption distance (D) between H2S and Cu/Zn-ZGNR decreased remarkably to 2.23 Å and an S–Cu bond was generated. …”

Warming up for athletic events by Hussain, Helmi

“…Coaches, physical educators and athletes of almost every athletic activity assume that the warming-up procedure is a mean by which athletic performance may be improved, and the chance of injury reduced; they also hold that the benefits of warming up have been attributed to an increased range of motion in the joints, increased circulation, decreased viscosity, increased body and muscle temperature and neural facilitation (24) and that warming up has an inherent psychological effect since it helps the athlete to achieve a state of mental readiness or mind set. …”
