Exercise serum promotes DNA damage repair and remodels gene expression in colon cancer cells

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
What's New? Exercise releases bioactive molecules into the bloodstream that can directly slow cancer cell growth. In colon cancer, this may help limit disease progression. Here, using colon cancer cells, the authors investigated the effects of exercise‐conditioned human serum on DNA repair mechanisms. Notably, acute exercise in humans elicited systemic

Study of Aedes albopictus dispersal in Rome, Italy, using sticky traps in mark–release–recapture experiments [PDF]

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, 2010
We report the results of three mark–release–recapture experiments carried out in an urban area in Rome, Italy, to study the active dispersal of Aedes albopictus (Diptera: Culicidae). The 4.3% recapture rate obtained supports the use of sticky traps in MRR experiments to study the dispersal of

A comprehensive longitudinal analysis of changes during Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder pharmacological treatments: Relationships between clinical measures, QbCheck and Conners CPT‐II

JCPP Advances, EarlyView.
Abstract Background This study aims to evaluate the clinical value of using QbCheck in routine Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD) clinics by investigating longitudinal inter‐domain relationships between objective neurocognitive outcomes of QbCheck and subjective clinical outcomes: ADHD core symptoms, impairment and quality of life (QoL ...

Marking Triatoma brasiliensis, Triatoma pseudomaculata and Rhodnius nasutus Nymphs with Trace Elements: Element Persistence and Effects of Marking on Insect Mortality. [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2016
BACKGROUND:Field ecologists often rely on mark-release-recapture (MRR) experiments to estimate population dynamics parameters for a given species. In the case of a medically important taxon, i.e., a disease vector, inferences on species survival and ...

Flight behaviour and dispersal ofRhynchophorus ferrugineus(Coleoptera: Dryophthoridae) adults using mark-release-recapture method

Bulletin of Entomological Research, 2016
AbstractThe flight ability and patterns of an insect influence its spread, and the study of its behaviour can be used to improve the strategies to control the pest. RegardingRhynchophorus ferrugineus(Olivier) (Coleoptera: Dryophthoridae), one of the worst threats to palm trees worldwide, laboratory experiments have been conducted to analyze their ...

Mastery Exams: Giving Students a Second Opportunity to Demonstrate Understanding

Journal of Dental Education, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Various stressors can affect student exam performance, and a single weak result may not reflect true understanding. To address this, a “Mastery” exam policy was introduced in the 2021–2022 academic year. If a student scores below 80% on a didactic or pre‐clinical laboratory exam worth at least 10% of their final course grade, they can choose ...

A delayed release mechanism for mark-release-recapture studies.

Journal of the American Mosquito Control Association, 2006
A delayed release mechanism was designed for a mark-recapture study that evaluated the flight behavior of anopheline mosquitoes in Belize, Central America. The design prevents marked mosquitoes from being released until after a set time. The time lag allows researchers to return to collecting posts before release and reduces the potential of marked ...

Evaluation of Panoramic Acquisition Errors by Predoctoral Dental Students

Journal of Dental Education, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives Panoramic radiography is commonly used in the management of dental‐alveolar pathology. Novice clinicians are prone to technical errors that diminish the diagnostic quality of radiographs. The objective of this study was to analyze technical errors made during panoramic exposures by third‐year (D3) dental students in order to enhance
