L5 Spinal Nerve Axotomy Induces Distinct Electrophysiological Changes in Axotomized L5- and Adjacent L4-Dorsal Root Ganglion Neurons in Rats . by Djouhri, Laiche

“…Consistent with this hypothesis, we found (7 days post-SNA), in SNA rats with established pain hypersensitivity, slower AP kinetics in axotomized L5-neurons and faster AP kinetics in L4-nociceptive neurons including decreased rise time in Aδ-and Aβ-fiber nociceptors, and after-hyperpolarization duration in Aβ-fiber nociceptors. …”

Effect of pH on dissolution of iron sulfide scales using THPS by Ahmed, Musa

“…Both experimental and theoretical techniques suggest that the pyrite dissolution ability of THPS decreases as pH increases. Conversely, combing THPS with EDTA (Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid) proved effective in dissolving a mixture of different iron sulfide field scales. …”

Late-diagnosed complete intravaginal testicular torsion with preserved blood flow and viable testis in an adolescent by Zvizdic, Zlatan

“…In intermittent TT, the degree of spermatic cord twist is ≥ 360°, but spontaneous resolution occurs after a short time. In the mentioned forms of TT, color Doppler ultrasonography (CDS) shows a subtle decreased blood flow or flow that appears symmetrical with the contralateral testis.1 In contrast, complete TT results in testicular ischemia due to compromised blood flow to the affected testis. …”

Structural influence of chromium substituted magnetite ferrofluids on the optical and antibacterial characteristics by Babukutty, B.

“…As the composition of Cr increases from x = 0.2 to x = 0.8, the crystalline size decreases reaching a minimum value of 9 nm. At the same time, the magnetic moment also becomes 1.3 +- 0.08 at a saturation point of 33 +- 0.13 emu/g at the highest Cr composition. …”

Independent and combined effects of antioxidant supplementation and circuit resistance training on selected adipokines in postmenopausal women by Saeidi, Ayoub

“…These findings suggest that Zataria Multiflora supplementation by itself has little effect on measured adipokines; however, its combination with CRT produced noticeable effects on circulating levels of these adipokines, even more than CRT alone. Consequently, a combination of CRT and Zataria Multiflora supplementation may represent a potentially beneficial non-pharmacologic intervention on some selected adipokines in postmenopausal women.…”
