Neutrophils in Tissue Trauma of the Skin, Bone, and Lung: Two Sides of the Same Coin by A. Kovtun, D. A. C. Messerer, K. Scharffetter-Kochanek, M. Huber-Lang, A. Ignatius

“…Following severe tissue injury, patients are exposed to various danger- and microbe-associated molecular patterns, which provoke a strong activation of the neutrophil defense system. Neutrophils trigger and modulate the initial posttraumatic inflammatory response and contribute critically to subsequent repair processes. …”

Tumor-Induced Local and Systemic Impact on Blood Vessel Function by J. Cedervall, A. Dimberg, A-K. Olsson

“…The vessel wall serves as a barrier for metastatic tumor cells, and the integrity and activation status of the endothelium serves as an important defense mechanism against metastasis. In addition, leukocytes, such as cytotoxic T-cells, have to travel across the vessel wall to enter the tumor tissue where they contribute to killing of cancer cells. …”

The spillover effects of military spending across superpowers using the TVP - VAR approach by Duc Hong Vo, Minh Phuoc Bao Tran, Phuong Thi Ha Cao

“…We use the advanced Time-Varying Parameter Vector Autoregressive (TVP-VAR) model to examine these effects, which is not used in the literature on defense economics. Our empirical results indicate the dynamic international spillovers of military spending among eleven countries. …”

The Effects of Multipropped Deep Excavation-Induced Ground Movements on Adjacent High-Rise Building Founded on Piled Raft in Sand by Mukhtiar Ali Soomro, Naeem Mangi, Wen-Chieh Cheng, Dildar Ali Mangnejo

“…The computed results revealed that excavation adjacent to a building resting on the piled raft caused significant settlement, differential settlement, lateral deflection, and interstorey drift in the building. With settlement due to working load (i.e., 4.8dp%), the total settlements of the building (7.8dp%) exceed the maximum allowable foundation settlement (i.e., 50 mm). …”

Structural Behavior of Reinforced Self-Compacted Engineered Cementitious Composite Beams by Bashar S. Mohammed, M. F. Nuruddin, Muhammad Aswin, Nursyuhada Mahamood, Hashem Al-Mattarneh

“…Nevertheless, contrary to VecTor2, models of EC2 and RILEM are not suitable for predicting reasonable ultimate moments for the beams, while results using VecTor2 model have successfully predicted the failure modes and load-deflection curves for all R-SC-ECC beams. It has been concluded that R-SC-ECC fall in the category of ductility class medium to high which gives advantages of using R-SC-ECC beams in regions susceptible to seismic activities.…”

Alexithymia and Apathy in Parkinson’s Disease: Neurocognitive Correlates by Yelena Bogdanova, Alice Cronin-Golomb

“…We focused on alexithymia, an impairment of affective and cognitive emotional processing, as there is evidence for its interaction with cognition in other disorders. Twenty-two non-demented PD patients and 22 matched normal control adults (NC) were administered rating scales assessing neuropsychiatric status, including alexithymia, apathy, and depression, and a series of neuropsychological tests. …”

Resenha do Livro "Desobedecer" de Frédéric Gros by Germano Castanho, Mauricio Dal Castel

“…Com vistas a fornecer uma contribuição original, deu-se ênfase ao Capítulo VIII, intitulado “Do Consentimento à Desobediência Civil”, analisando, desde os conceitos antitéticos que o nomeiam, a emergência da desobediência civil como resposta crítica às injustiças legitimadas pelo contrato social, entendido como consentimento político. Defende-se, ao final, que a desobediência civil, essencial à noção de democracia em Gros, deve ser vista como prática fundamental para a reativação do contrato social, ressignificado como um “fazer sociedade”, uma desobediência coletiva, uma recusa a “ser governado assim”. …”

Anxiolytic-Like Actions of Fatty Acids Identified in Human Amniotic Fluid by Rosa Isela García-Ríos, Juan Francisco Rodríguez-Landa, Carlos M. Contreras

“…Although a trend toward a dose-response effect was observed, only an amount of fatty acids that was similar to amniotic fluid fully mimicked the effect of diazepam (2 mg/kg, i.p.) in the defensive burying test, an action devoid of effects on locomotor activity and motor coordination. …”
