Therapeutic Potential of Agmatine in Essential Tremor Through Regulation of Lingo‐1 and Inflammatory Pathways by Zeynab Pirmoradi, Zahra Esmaili, Mohsen Nakhaie, Kristi A. Kohlmeier, Mohammad Shabani, Moazamehosadat Razavinasab, Mehran Ilaghi

“…Conclusions Collectively, this study provides the first evidence that agmatine dampens tremor severity, improves behavioral outcomes, and modulates key pathways implicated in ET pathogenesis in a rodent model. The ability of agmatine to normalize Lingo‐1 and IL‐6 expression suggests regulation of these pathways could underlie its neuroprotective action. …”

Valine deficiency has a greater impact on broiler growth and bone health than isoleucine deficiency by Doyun Goo, Woo Kyun Kim

“…The -VAL group also had significantly decreased breast muscle weight, total tissue weight, bone mineral density, bone mineral content, and walking ability (P < 0.01). The expression levels of mechanistic target of rapamycin and BCAA catabolism-related genes were highest in the -VAL group (P < 0.05), whereas the -ILE group did not show any difference compared to the CON group (P > 0.05). …”

Geopolitical position of Serbia after the beginning of the war in Ukraine: Neutrality and strategic deterrence in a crisis context by Gajić Aleksandar

“…The second part of the Paper is dedicated to the description of Serbia's contemporary difficult position in the new geopolitical circumstances ("lonely and in the encirclement"), in order to better understand both the numerous challenges to which Serbia is exposed and its foreign policy moves aimed at preserving its military neutrality and the ability for strategic deterrence. On the one hand, Serbia wants to keep up its processes of accession to the EU and to continue to develop the best possible relations with the West and not to confront it and be isolated. …”

Operativity of the Taunsa Barrage, Pakistan: Experimental Investigation on the Subsidiary Weir by Muhammad Zahid Ullah, Habib-Ur-Rehman Mughal, Noor Yaseen, Noor Muhammad Khan, Giada Varra, Luca Cozzolino, Renata Della Morte

“…Phase 2 reproduced the post-rehabilitation conditions, including varying discharge values, heights and positions of the SW, to evaluate the stilling basin design concerning the ability to dissipate flow energy. The results demonstrated (i) inadequate tailwater levels and oscillating hydraulic jump formation under increased discharges in pre-rehabilitation conditions (highlighting the poor performance of the original Taunsa Barrage stilling basin and the need for an SW to address these hydraulic deficiencies), and (ii) that the SW, under the design conditions, achieved optimal head loss for discharge values near the design discharge. …”

Differences in the movement phase condition and sensory inputs on temporal synchronization and continuation during bilateral foot-tapping tasks by Atsuki Numata, Yasuo Terao, Kenichi Sugawara, Yoshikazu Ugawa, Toshiaki Furubayashi

“…In the sensorimotor synchronization (synchronized and continuous tapping) task, subjects move their limbs in synchrony with an isochronous tone presented at various tempos and continue tapping at the same pace after the tones have ceased. We investigated the ability of bilateral lower limb motor control for performing this task as a crucial metric for examining motor coordination relevant to human locomotion, such as walking. …”
