The disturbed blood–brain barrier in human glioblastoma

Molecular Aspects of Medicine, 2012
The aim of this article is to describe alterations of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) in gliomas. The main clinical problem of human gliomas is the edematous swelling and the dramatic increase of intracerebral pressure, also compromising healthy areas of the brain. According to our concept, one of the main reasons on the cellular level for these clinical

The Disturbance of the Human–Non-human Continuum

2019
Summary Many of the human communities that comprise the South have cosmologies that place human and nonhuman animals on a continuum. Culturism, with its foreign logic and dynamics, has broken this continuum, thereby fuelling speciesist practices.

Vestibulo-Oculomotor Disturbances in Humans Exposed to Styrene

Acta Oto-Laryngologica, 1982
Several reports indicate that disturbances of the vestibulo-oculomotor ability are a manifestation of the toxic action on the central nervous system exerted by some industrial solvents. The aim of the present investigation was to examine the vestibulo-oculomotor system during exposure to styrene, which is extensively used in the production of plastics.

Effects of Roads and Human Disturbance on Amur Tigers

Conservation Biology, 2002
Abstract: Understanding the effects of human disturbance on endangered wildlife populations is critical to their conservation. We examined the effects of roads and human disturbance on the survivorship and foraging efficiency of Amur tigers (   Panthera tigris altaica ) on

Are humans disturbing conditions in ecology?

Biology & Philosophy, 2016
In this paper I argue, first, that ecologists have routinely treated humans—or more specifically, anthropogenic causal factors—as disturbing conditions. I define disturbing conditions as exogenous variables, variables “outside” a model, that when present in a target system, inhibit the applicability or accuracy of the model.

Micturition Disturbances and Human Immunodeficiency Virus Infection

Journal of Urology, 1996
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infections often lead to urological disorders, including tumors, infections and micturitional disturbances. It often is difficult to identify the origin of voiding disorders but the most frequent causes are infections (prostatitis and so forth), obstruction (cervico-prostatic or urethral) and neurological ...

Experiencing the Humanity of the Disturbed Person

2008
Before I started writing this chapter, one of my colleagues asked me why I was including a discussion on the mentally ill in a book on interpersonal relations. It was a good question, and one for which I did not immediately have an answer. This is not, after all, a book on abnormal psychology.

Ethanol-induced disturbance in human arousal mechanism

Psychopharmacology, 1981
The effects of intravenous ethanol on EEG were analyzed in 11 healthy subjects. During the rapid infusion phase the breath alcohol concentration (BRAC) was raised in 1 h to about 1 mg/ml and kept at this level for 90 min by adjusting the infusion rate.

Unearthing the impact of human disturbance on a notorious weed

Molecular Ecology, 2014
Large‐scale anthropogenic changes in the environment are reshaping global biodiversity and the evolutionary trajectory of many species. Evolutionary mechanisms that allow organisms to thrive in this rapidly changing environment are just beginning to be investigated (Hoffmann & Sgrò ; Colautti & Barrett ).
