Multiple sclerosis and bipolar disorder: an  overlap between soma and psyche
Tijdschr Psychiatr. 2024;66(3):165-167.ABSTRACTThis clinical vignette describes a 29-year-old woman who had her first neurological manifestations of multiple sclerosis (MS) on the same day as a second lifetime manic episode as part of a bipolar I disorder. The patient was stable for eight years before this episode. An MRI-scan conducted during admission showed multiple demyelinating lesions in the frontal cortex, which might have influenced the development and course of the manic episode. Her manic symptoms went into remission during the same time as her neurological symptoms. This clinical vignette with literature review ...

Statin use for cardiovascular disease prevention: perceptions among people living with HIV in the United States
CONCLUSIONS: More interventions are needed to increase statin use among PLWH to improve CVD outcomes, which also has implications for HIV progression. Clinics should aim to increase patient and provider knowledge about CVD risk and statin use for PLWH and provide shared decision-making tools that are easy to use and culturally appropriate.PMID:38632550 | PMC:PMC11022377 | DOI:10.1186/s12875-024-02370-z (Source: Primary Care)

Evaluation of the Protoscolicidal Activity of < em > Humulus lupulus < /em > Methanolic Extracts on < em > Echinococcus granulosus Sensu Stricto < /em >
In conclusion, the methanolic extracts of the H. lupulus varieties Mapuche and Victoria demonstrated a marked in vitro effect against E. granulosus s.s. protoscoleces. The beer-making industry exclusively uses hop cones, leaving behind large amounts of hop leaves as an agricultural by-product that is not being utilized. On the basis of our study, we propose that hop leaves could also be used as a source of secondary metabolites with anthelmintic activity.PMID:38605998 | PMC:PMC11008976 | DOI:10.1155/2024/6251666 (Source: Evidence-based Complementary and Alternative Medicine)

Overexpression of α-Klotho isoforms promotes distinct Effects on BDNF-Induced Alterations in Dendritic Morphology
Abstractα-Klotho (α-Kl) is a modulator of aging, neuroprotection, and cognition. Transcription of theKlotho gene produces two splice variants —a membrane protein (mKl), which can be cleaved and released into the extracellular milieu, and a truncated secreted form (sKl). Despite mounting evidence supporting a role for α-Kl in brain function, the specific roles of α-Kl isoforms in neuronal development remain elusive. Here, we examined α -Kl protein levels in rat brain and observed region-specific expression in the adult that differs between isoforms. In the developing hippocampus, levels of isoforms decrease after the...

Analysis of heavy metal and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon pollution characteristics of a typical metal rolling industrial site based on data mining
AbstractWith the transformation and upgrading of industries, the environmental problems caused by industrial residual contaminated sites are becoming increasingly prominent. Based on actual investigation cases, this study analyzed the soil pollution status of a remaining sites of the copper and zinc rolling industry, and found that the pollutants exceeding the screening values included Cu, Ni, Zn, Pb, total petroleum hydrocarbons and 6 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon monomers. Based on traditional analysis methods such as the correlation coefficient and spatial distribution, combined with machine learning methods such as S...

Motor learning changes the axon initial segment of the spinal motoneuron
J Physiol. 2024 Apr 3. doi: 10.1113/JP283875. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTWe are studying the mechanisms of H-reflex operant conditioning, a simple form of learning. Modelling studies in the literature and our previous data suggested that changes in the axon initial segment (AIS) might contribute. To explore this, we used blinded quantitative histological and immunohistochemical methods to study in adult rats the impact of H-reflex conditioning on the AIS of the spinal motoneuron that produces the reflex. Successful, but not unsuccessful, H-reflex up-conditioning was associated with greater AIS length and distance from s...
