Previous Exercise Training Reduces Markers of Renal Oxidative Stress and Inflammation in Streptozotocin-Induced Diabetic Female Rats by Liliany Souza de Brito Amaral, Cláudia Silva Souza, Rildo Aparecido Volpini, Maria Heloisa Massola Shimizu, Ana Carolina de Bragança, Daniele Canale, Antonio Carlos Seguro, Terezila Machado Coimbra, Amélia Cristina Mendes de Magalhães, Telma de Jesus Soares

“…Of note, only previous exercise increased weight gain and urinary/renal NO levels and reduced NF-κB (p65) immunostaining in the renal cortex of the PTD group. In conclusion, our study shows that exercise training, especially when initiated previously to diabetes induction, promotes protective effects in diabetic kidney by reduction of renal oxidative stress and inflammation markers in female Wistar rats.…”

Neurobehavioural Changes in a Patient with Bilateral Lesions of the Globus Pallidus by R. Haaxma, T. W. Robbins, M. James, W. H. Brouwer, J. G. Colebatch, C. D. Marsden

“…Associated with these lesions was a significantly reduced blood flow in multiple frontal cortical regions, most prominently in area 10, the anterior cingulate and the supplementary motor cortex. Her cognitive deficits were generally consistent with those found in patients with frontal lobe dysfunction but some deficits, i.e. in visual memory and learning, were more compatible with temporal lobe dysfunction. …”

The Role of GABAergic Inhibition in Ocular Dominance Plasticity by J. Alexander Heimel, Daniëlle van Versendaal, Christiaan N. Levelt

“…During the last decade, we have gained much insight into the mechanisms that open and close a sensitive period of plasticity in the visual cortex. This brings the hope that novel treatments can be developed for brain injuries requiring renewed plasticity potential and neurodevelopmental brain disorders caused by defective synaptic plasticity. …”

Computation of Graph Fourier Transform Centrality Using Graph Filter by Chien-Cheng Tseng, Su-Ling Lee

“…To reduce the computational complexity of GFTC, a linear algebra method based on Frobenius norm of error matrix is applied to convert the spectral-domain GFTC computation task to vertex-domain one such that GFTC can be computed by using polynomial graph filtering method. …”

On Fault-Tolerant Resolving Sets of Some Families of Ladder Networks by Hua Wang, Muhammad Azeem, Muhammad Faisal Nadeem, Ata Ur-Rehman, Adnan Aslam

“…In localization, some special vertices (resolving sets) are selected to locate the position of all vertices in a computer network. If an arbitrary vertex stopped working and selected vertices still remain the resolving set, then the chosen set is called as the fault-tolerant resolving set. …”

Poor fixation stability does not account for motion perception deficits in amblyopia by Kimberly Meier, Simon Warner, Miriam Spering, Deborah Giaschi

“…It is possible that poor fixation stability during motion viewing interferes with the fidelity of the input to motion-sensitive neurons in visual cortex. To probe these mechanisms at a behavioral level, we assessed motion coherence thresholds in adults with amblyopia while measuring fixation stability. …”

Super H-Antimagic Total Covering for Generalized Antiprism and Toroidal Octagonal Map by Amir Taimur, Gohar Ali, Muhammad Numan, Adnan Aslam, Kraidi Anoh Yannick

“…An a,d-H antimagic total labeling f is said to be super if the vertex labels are from the set 1,2,…,|VG. In this paper, we discuss super a,d-C3-antimagic total labeling for generalized antiprism and a super a,d-C8-antimagic total labeling for toroidal octagonal map.…”

Scattering, absorption and emission of highly excited strings by M. Firrotta, E. Kiritsis, V. Niarchos

“…Abstract We study tree-level scattering processes of arbitrary string states using the DDF formalism and suitable coherent vertex operators. We obtain new exact compact formulae for heavy-heavy-light-light scattering amplitudes in open or closed bosonic string theories, and derive explicit exact expressions for the absorption cross-sections, and corresponding emission rates, of highly excited string states using the optical theorem and time reversal symmetry. …”

“…This phenomenon is explained by the switching of descending influences on the corticospinal tract through the participation of the following system: red nucleus—inferior olive—cerebellum—ventrolateral thalamic nucleus—cerebral cortex. The above mentioned facilitating influence on the recovery process was particularly prominent in rats with quinolinic acid-induced lesion of the red nucleus. …”
