The impact of assessing simulated bad news consultations on medical students' stress response and communication performance [PDF]
, 2007 Seventy second-year medical students volunteered to participate in a study with the aim of evaluating the impact of the assessment of simulated bad news consultations on their physiological and psychological stress and communication performance ...

Tetramethylpyrazine Analogue T-006 Protects Neuronal and Endothelial Cells Against Oxidative Stress via PI3K/AKT/mTOR and Nrf2 Signaling [PDF]
Background: T-006, a novel neuroprotective derivative of tetramethylpyrazine (TMP), exhibits multifunctional neuroprotective properties. T-006 has been shown to improve neurological and behavioral functions in animal models of ischemic stroke and ...

Degradation mechanism of the von Willebrand factor A2 domain by nattokinase
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Nattokinase, a natto‐derived protease, exhibits potent antithrombotic effects. This study demonstrates that nattokinase directly cleaves the von Willebrand factor (vWF) A2 domain in vitro. Unlike the native regulator ADAMTS13, nattokinase degrades folded vWF independently of shear stress.

Perceived stress, stress management, and vigorous physical activity among college students [PDF]
, 2013 textObesity is a public health concern and obesity rates increase from adolescence to adulthood. Therefore, the period between 18-24, known as emerging adulthood, may be a crucial period in the development of obesity.

Modulation of Homer1 EVH1 domain internal dynamics by putative autism‐associated mutations
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.The putative autism‐associated M65I and S97L variants of the EVH1 domain of the postsynaptic scaffold protein Homer1 do not exhibit substantial changes in their overall structure or partner binding. Both of them, but especially the M65I variant, show altered internal dynamics relative to the wild‐type domain on the μs‐ms timescale, indicated by the ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.An unexpected alternative interaction site for ethyl viologen was identified in formate dehydrogenase 1 from Methylorubrum extorquens. Combined mutagenesis, kinetic analysis, and docking revealed that aromatic residues near an iron–sulfur cluster enable flavin mononucleotide‐independent electron transfer, offering a framework for engineering improved ...

Space Charge in Polyethylene under AC Electric Stress using the Pulsed Electroacoustic Method [PDF]
, 2004 This paper reports on space charge in XLPE planar samples of approximately 220 ?m thick subjected to dc 30 kV/mm and 1 Hz, 10 Hz and 50 Hz ac 30 kVpk/mm conditions for 24 hours. Measurement of space charge was carried out using the pulsed electroacoustic

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.The physical dimensions and shape of bacterial cells define the surface area available to acquire nutrients and the volume available for synthesizing proteins and DNA. Here, we use computational systems biology to decode the importance of cell geometry as a major determinant of prokaryotic phenotype, including growth rate and metabolic efficiency. This

Stress Intensity Factors - T-Stresses - Weight Functions
, 2008 Failure of cracked components is governed by the stresses in the vicinity of the crack tip. The singular stress contribution is characterised by the stress intensity factor K, the first regular stress term is represented by the so-called T-stress. Sufficient information about the stress state is available, if these two parameters are known Results for ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.We present robust protocols for the preparation of supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) incorporating either Salmonella smooth LPS or outer membrane vesicles (OMVs). We use a combination of quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM‐D) and fluorescence microscopy to both characterize the SLBs of various compositions and to probe their interactions ...
