Mild traumatic brain injury as a pathological process

Heliyon, 2023
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is defined as dysfunction or other evidence of brain pathology caused by external physical force. More than 69 million new cases of TBI are registered worldwide each year, 80% of them - mild TBI.

The convergent validity of two sensory processing scales used with school - age children : comparing the sensory profile and the sensory processing measure

, 2010
: Aim: To investigate the convergent validity between the Sensory Profile, the Sensory Profile School Companion, and the Home and Main Classroom Forms of the Sensory Processing Measure. Method: Thirty mothers completed the Sensory Profile and the Sensory

Task-demands can immediately reverse the effects of sensory-driven saliency in complex visual stimuli [PDF]

, 2008
In natural vision both stimulus features and task-demands affect an observer's attention. However, the relationship between sensory-driven (“bottom-up”) and task-dependent (“top-down”) factors remains controversial: Can task-demands counteract strong ...

STAT3 expression is reduced in cardiac pericytes in HFpEF and its loss reduces cellular adhesion and induces pericyte senescence

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) accounts for half of the heart failure cases. It is characterised by microvascular dysfunction, associated with reduced pericyte coverage and diminished STAT3 expression in pericytes. Loss of STAT3 impairs pericyte adhesion, promotes senescence, and activates a pro‐fibrotic gene program.

Hypoxia-inducible factor 1a protects peripheral sensory neurons from diabetic peripheral neuropathy by suppressing accumulation of reactive oxygen species [PDF]

arXiv, 2018
Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is one of the most common diabetic complications. Mechanisms underlying nerve damage and sensory loss following metabolic dysfunction remain large unclear. Recently, hyperglycemia-induced mitochondrial dysfunction and the generation of ROS have gained attention as possible mechanisms of organ damage in diabetes ...

Pre-stimulus influences on auditory perception arising from sensory representations and decision processes [PDF]

, 2016
The qualities of perception depend not only on the sensory inputs but also on the brain state before stimulus presentation. Although the collective evidence from neuroimaging studies for a relation between prestimulus state and perception is strong, the ...

The Sensory Representation of Time [PDF]

Frontiers in Integrative Neuroscience, 2011
Time is embedded in many aspects of our sensory experience; sensory events unfold in time and often acquire particular meaning because of their specific temporal structure. The speed of a moving object, the words pronounced by a speaker and the tactile exploration of a texture, are all examples of temporally structured sensory experiences.

Protonophore activity of short‐chain fatty acids induces their intracellular accumulation and acidification

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The protonated form of butyrate, as well as other short‐chain fatty acids (SCFAs), is membrane permeable. In acidic extracellular environments, this can lead to intracellular accumulation of SCFAs and cytosolic acidification. This phenomenon will be particularly relevant in acidic environments such as the large intestine or tumor microenvironments ...

The Evolution of Sensory Placodes [PDF]

The Scientific World JOURNAL, 2006
The vertebrate cranial sensory placodes are ectodermal embryonic patches that give rise to sensory receptor cells of the peripheral paired sense organs and to neurons in the cranial sensory ganglia. Their differentiation and the genetic pathways that underlay their development are now well understood.

Unlocking the potential of tumor‐derived DNA in urine for cancer detection: methodological challenges and opportunities

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Urine is a rich source of biomarkers for cancer detection. Tumor‐derived material is released into the bloodstream and transported to the urine. Urine can easily be collected from individuals, allowing non‐invasive cancer detection. This review discusses the rationale behind urine‐based cancer detection and its potential for cancer diagnostics ...
