Establishing on-site reference values for 123I-FP-CIT SPECT (DaTSCAN®) using a cohort of individuals with non-degenerative conditions [PDF]
To overcome the issue of reference values for DaTSCAN® requiring healthy controls, we propose an original approach using scans from individuals with non- degenerative conditions performed at one single center following the same acquisition protocol ...

Strontium ranelate improves bone strength in ovariectomized rat by positively influencing bone resistance determinants [PDF]
Summary: Treatment of adult ovariectomized (OVX) rats with strontium ranelate prevented vertebral biomechanics degradation as a result of the prevention of bone loss and micro-architecture deterioration associated to an effect on intrinsic bone material ...

Neural hypersensitivity to pleasant touch in women remitted from anorexia nervosa. [PDF]
Interoception, or the sensing and integration of bodily state signals, has been implicated in anorexia nervosa (AN), given that the hallmark symptoms involve food restriction and body image disturbance. Here we focus on brain response to the anticipation
