Invertebrate vasopressin/oxytocin homologs: characterization of peptides from Conus geographus and Conus striatus venoms [PDF]
Journal ArticleThe vasopressin-oxytocin family of peptides is of very ancient lineage, found in organisms as diverse as hydra and man. Although these peptides have been intensively studied in vertebrates, the presumably more extensive invertebrate series

Is There Escape from Renal Actions of Vasopressin in Rats with a Hyponatremia for Greater than 48 Hours? [PDF]
Escape from the renal actions of vasopressin is said to occur in rats with chronic hyponatremia. Our objective was to provide specific evidence to test this hypothesis. Hence the osmolality in the excised renal papilla and in simultaneously voided urine (

Vasopressors and Inotropes in Acute Myocardial Infarction Related Cardiogenic Shock: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis [PDF]
Vasopressors and inotropes are routinely used in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) related cardiogenic shock (CS) to improve hemodynamics. We aimed to investigate the effect of routinely used vasopressor and inotropes on mortality in AMI related CS.

Long‐Term Nutritional Benefits of Laparoscopic Pancreatoduodenectomy Over Open Surgery
Minimally invasive laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy (LPD) significantly improves long‐term nutritional outcomes compared to open pancreaticoduodenectomy (OPD). LPD patients demonstrated better preservation of muscle mass index (PMI) and a lower incidence of postoperative fatty liver.

Postoperative vasoplegic syndrome (VS) is characterized by low systemic vascular resistance, normal or elevated cardiac output, and poor response to volume expansion. The incidence of VS after cardiac surgery requiring cardiopulmonary bypass is about 20%.

Piezoelectric Origami Metamaterials for Enhanced Handwriting Recognition and Trajectory Tracking
This study introduces origami metamaterials inspired by Kresling piezoelectric generators to enhance biometric authentication and handwriting trajectory recognition. Overcoming sensor limitations in conventional devices, the design enables multichannel data acquisition with fewer sensors, utilizing machine learning to accurately identify content ...

Neuromodulation by Oxytocin and Vasopressin [PDF]
Oxytocin (OT) and vasopressin (VP) are two closely related neuropeptides, widely known for their peripheral hormonal effects. Specific receptors have also been found in the brain, where their neuromodulatory actions have meanwhile been described in a large number of regions.

Abstract Agroindustrial activity generates substantial waste during harvesting and processing. This study investigated the potential use of sugarcane bagasse, corn cob husk, and wheat bran as substrates for enzyme production by Aspergillus niger and Ceriporiopsis subvermispora. Aspergillus niger and C. subvermispora exhibited comparable filter paperase
