The Value of Technetium-99m Labeled Alpha-Melanocyte- Stimulating Hormone (99mTc-α-MSH) in Diagnosis of Primary and Metastatic Lesions of Malignant Melanoma [PDF]

Asia Oceania Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Biology, 2018
Objective(s): Malignant melanoma is the most lethal type of skincancers with unfavorable prognosis. Alpha-MSH peptide analogues havea high affinity for melanocortine-1 (MC1) receptors on melanocytes overexpressing in malignant melanoma cells.

Prenatal betamethasone–postnatal N‐methyl‐D‐aspartic acid model of spasms: Update on mechanisms and treatments

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Infantile epilepsy spasms syndrome (IESS), formerly known as infantile spasms or West Syndrome, is a severe epilepsy syndrome affecting about 3 in 10,000 newborns in the United States. Characterized by clusters of epileptic spasms, interictal hypsarrhythmia, and developmental delays, IESS has diverse causes, including structural‐metabolic ...

Minocycline Modulation of Alpha-MSH Production by Keratinocytes In vitro

Acta Dermato-Venereologica, 1999
The anti-inflammatory mechanisms of minocycline, an antibiotic used in the treatment of the inflammatory component of acne, are only partially understood. In addition to inflammation due to cytokines (IL-1, IL-6, TNF-alpha, etc.), recent studies have shown that neuropeptide-mediated neurogenic inflammation may play an important role in cutaneous ...

From Resource Activation to Utilization: A Process‐Outcome Analysis in Telephone‐Based Cognitive‐Behavioral Therapy for Family Caregivers of People With Dementia

Journal of Clinical Psychology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective This study aimed to assess whether resource activation (i.e., fostering strengths and healthy aspects of the patient), aggregated across therapy sessions during telephone‐based cognitive‐behavioral therapy (TEL‐CBT), is associated with post‐therapy psychosocial resource utilization (i.e., the extent to which individuals utilize ...

Eye Darkening Under Dehydration Stress in the Neotropical Frog Boana punctata (Schneider, 1799)

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, EarlyView.
Dehydration induces a strong and partially reversible increase in iris pigmentation in the Neotropical frog Boana punctata. The tight relationship between iris darkening and hydration state identifies ocular pigmentation as a simple, non‐invasive physiological biomarker with broad potential for assessing hydric stress in amphibian populations ...
