A Pharmacological and Toxicological Profile of Silver as an Antimicrobial Agent in Medical Devices by Alan B. G. Lansdown

“…Ag+ binds strongly to metallothionein, albumins, and macroglobulins and is metabolised to all tissues other than the brain and the central nervous system. Silver sulphide or silver selenide precipitates, bound lysosomally in soft tissues, are inert and not associated with an irreversible toxic change. …”

Linezolid and serotonin syndrome by Haytham A. Wali

“…Despite its efficacy, linezolid can cause serotonin syndrome, a potentially fatal condition associated with excessive serotonin activity in the brain. This narrative review examined the pharmacological mechanisms of this interaction, particularly linezolid’s mild monoamine oxidase-inhibitory activity, which can trigger serotonin syndrome in combination with serotonergic drugs. …”

Carbon Monoxide Poisoning during Pregnancy: Presentation of a Rare Severe Case with Fetal Bladder Complications by Myriam Delomenie, Floriane Schneider, Joëlle Beaudet, René Gabriel, Nathalie Bednarek, Olivier Graesslin

“…We report the case of a 22-year-old pregnant woman who at 30 weeks of gestation had carbon monoxide poisoning secondary to a fire in her home, complicated by cardiac arrest and severe fetal damage. The child had not brain damage, but presented bladder lesions not previously described, with urinary ascites complicating megacystis.…”

Peri-Ictal and Ictal Cognitive Dysfunction in Epilepsy by Lavanya Vijayaraghavan, Subbulakshmy Natarajan, Ennapadam Srinivas Krishnamoorthy

“…Factors contributing to cognitive dysfunction are the type of epilepsy, type and frequency of seizures, anti-epileptic drugs and the location of underlying brain lesions. Whilst a great deal of attention has been paid to permanent cognitive impairment, the nature and underlying mechanisms of ictal and peri-ictal cognitive changes are poorly understood. …”

Direct perception of affective valence from vision by Saeedeh Sadeghi, Zijin Gu, Eve De Rosa, Amy Kuceyeski, Adam K. Anderson

“…In human observers, limiting conceptual analysis of images enhances VV contributions to valence experience, increasing correspondence with machine perception of valence. In the brain, VV resides in lower to mid-level visual regions, where neural activity submitted to deep generative networks synthesizes new images containing positive versus negative VV. …”

Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma of the Submandibular Gland, Locoregional Recurrence, and a Solitary Liver Metastasis More Than 30 Years Since Primary Diagnosis by A. Coupland, A. Sewpaul, A. Darne, S. White

“…The preferential sites of metastases are the lung and bone, followed by the brain and liver. Most liver metastases are derived from nonparotid ACCs, and the presentation is often related to local recurrence or metastases to other organs. …”

Robotic Vision with the Conformal Camera: Modeling Perisaccadic Perception by Jacek Turski

“…Humans make about 3 saccades per second at the eyeball's speed of 700 deg/sec to reposition the high-acuity fovea on the targets of interest to build up understanding of a scene. The brain's visuosaccadic circuitry uses the oculomotor command of each impending saccade to shift receptive fields (RFs) to cortical locations before the eyes take them there, giving a continuous and stable view of the world. …”

Epistasis in Modifying Genes: Key Factor to Differentiate Clinical Subtypes in Neurodevelopmental Disorders by José Ignacio Lao Villadóniga

“…Neurodevelopmental disorders group conditions in which the growth and development of the brain is altered. This can damage both the neurocognitive and behavioral spheres such as the development of language, emotions, behavior, self-control, learning and memory, and also motor functions. …”

Love Addiction - Current Diagnostic and Therapeutic Paradigms in Clinical Psychology. by Marilena Giovanna Maglia, Ines Lanzafame, Maria C Quattropani, Pasquale Caponnetto

“… # Conclusions Group psychotherapy has proved to be a valid alternative, in fact the scientific landscape suggests that most group therapies are successful because these dynamics involve the reward and attachment systems in the brain in most subjects. Although there is currently no official classification for this type of addiction, the continuing interests of clinical psychology open up new scenarios for achieving greater psychophysical well-being.…”

Effect of Absorption and Scattering on Fluorescence of Buried Tumours by Kawthar M. K. Alghourani, Wesam Bachir, George Karraz

“…This work investigates laser-induced fluorescence spectroscopy of fluorescence inclusions that are embedded in turbid media. 405 nm laser diode is used for exciting buried protoporphyrin- (PpIX) based inclusions in brain-like optical phantoms. Effects of scattering and absorption of the turbid medium on the recorded fluorescence signal and depth-resolved fluorescence were studied. …”
