Learning Slope and Position Effects in Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test: Diagnostic Value in Schizophrenia by M. Alfimova, V.V. Plakunova, V.E. Golimbet

“…In the schizophrenia group, a correlation analysis conditioned on total recall revealed an association between the recency and the RAVLT retroactive interference indicator (ρ=0.13; p=0.001), but not with symptoms, processing speed, or executive functions. Thus, an increased recency effect, which is likely arises, in part, due to a heightened retroactive interference, may have diagnostic significance for schizophrenia, in addition to the overall poor learning efficiency.…”

Culturing of Giardia lamblia under microaerobic conditions can impact metronidazole susceptibility by inducing increased expression of antioxidant enzymes by Kateryna Starynets, Ana Paunkov, Anja Wagner, Klaus Kratochwill, Christian Klotz, David Leitsch

“…Reduced susceptibility to metronidazole under microaerobic conditions was also observed in a clinical isolate from a refractory giardiasis case.Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis showed that microaerobic growth was accompanied by the upregulation of superoxide reductase, a pyridoxamine 5′-phosphate oxidase putative domain-containing protein, and a TlpA-like protein in 713 but not in WB C6. All three proteins are known, or can be predicted to have antioxidant functions. …”

The influence of altered lower-limb muscle strength on dynamic plantar pressure distribution in participants who underwent anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction by Karolína Matov, Michal Bozděch, Marta Gimunová, Martin Komzák, Marek Dostál, Miloslav Maršálek, Tomáš Vespalec, Milan Mojžíš, Tomáš Vodička

“…However, as dynamic plantar pressure parameters do not reflect quadriceps or hamstring status reliably, they cannot replace standard tests like isokinetic dynamometry. Combining plantar pressure metrics with conventional strength and functional assessments may better identify residual gait deficits and guide targeted rehabilitation to lower reinjury risk.…”
