Exposure to Early Life Stress Results in Epigenetic Changes in Neurotrophic Factor Gene Expression in a Parkinsonian Rat Model by Thabisile Mpofana, Willie M. U. Daniels, Musa V. Mabandla

“…Following unilateral injection of a mild dose of 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA), we measured corticosterone (CORT) in the blood and striatum of stressed and nonstressed rats; we also measured DNA methylation and BDNF and GDNF gene expression in the striatum using real time PCR. In the presence of stress, we found that there was increased corticosterone concentration in both blood and striatal tissue. …”

Phacoemulsification and polymethylmethacrylate intraocular lens implantation. Prevention of postsurgical astigmatism through scleral approach by José Guillermo Martínez Urbay, Keilym Artiles Martínez, Neyda Alina González Pérez, Noel Lascaiba Rojas

“…Results: the average age of the patients was 62.88 (±8.93) years, with a range between 45 and 76 years of age, 12 of the 23 patients (52.17%) belonged to the female sex and 11 (47.83%) to the male. The time required for the proposed variations and the steps added to the standard phacoemulsification technique to place an intraocular lens do not represent a substantial increase over it of about 20 minutes on average. …”
