Panic disorder, anxiety, and cardiovascular diseases
2014
Different data indicate that psychological and/or emotional disorders may play an important role in the natural history of heart diseases. Although the major evidence is that related to depression, epidemiological data would indicate that anxiety and panic disorders are highly represented in cardiac patient, thus influencing mortality and morbidity. The diagnosis of panic disorder in patients with chest pain is crucial to a correct therapeutic approach, as well as to reduce the risks and costs of inappropriate treatments. Anxiety and panic may accelerate different direct and indirect processes involved in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases: lifestyle risk factors, arterial hyperten…
[177Lu]Lu-DOTA-TATE and [131I]MIBG Phenotypic Imaging-Based Therapy in Metastatic/Inoperable Pheochromocytomas and Paragangliomas: Comparative Result…
2022
PurposeThe aim of the study is to assess phenotypic imaging patterns and the response to treatment with [177Lu]Lu-DOTA-TATE and/or [131I]MIBG in paragangliomas (PGLs) and pheochromocytomas (PHEOs), globally and according to the primary location.MethodsThis is a 17-patient retrospective observational study, with 9 cases treated with [177Lu]Lu-DOTA-TATE and 8 with [131I]MIBG (37 total treatments). Functional imaging scans and treatment responses were studied in order to choose the best therapeutic option and to define the progression-free survival (PFS) and disease control rate (DCR) according to treatment modality and primary location.ResultsAll patients were studied with phenotypic nuclear …
MOESM2 of Histone macroH2A1.2 promotes metabolic health and leanness by inhibiting adipogenesis
2016
Additional file 2. Figure S1. Representative images of wild-type and macroH2A1.2 transgenic (Tg) mice adipose tissue (VAT) sections immunostained for macroH2A1.2 (red). Nuclei were counterstained with Hoechst (blue), while perilipin was immunostained to define adipose cell membranes (green). macroH2A1.2 expression was detected only in the VAT of Tg animals but not in wild-type animals (white arrows).

The impact of beaver dam removal on the chemical properties of water in drainage ditches in peatland forests
2020
Despite near-extinction in the nineteenth century, after efficient restoration measures the population of Eurasian beaver (Castor fiber L.) in Latvia currently is viable and growing. While the ecological effect of the species on water quality and biodiversity is generally positive, the high number of animals in production forests often creates challenges for management. Drainage ditches are among the most favoured habitats of beavers resulting in flooded stands, reduced tree growth and economical losses. The aim of the study was to evaluate the chemical properties of water in forest drainage ditches, affected by beaver activity, and their changes after the dam removal. Chemical composition …
Additional file 5 of Interleukin-25-mediated resistance against intestinal trematodes does not depend on the generation of Th2 responses
2020
Additional file 5: Fig. S4. Treatment of IL-25-treated-mice with mα-IL-4Rα or rIL-13Rα2 reduces STAT6 activation. Indirect immunofluorescence with anti-STAT6 (red) and anti-STAT6P (red) on intestinal tissue of IL-25-treated-mice that were also treated with mα-IL-4Rα or rIL-13Rα2 at 2 weeks post-primary infection. Scale bar: 30 μm.
Does Deforestation Increase Malaria Prevalence? Evidence from Satellite Data and Health Surveys
2018
Deforestation has been found to increase malaria risk in some settings, while a growing number of studies have found that deforestation increases malaria prevalence in humans, suggesting that in some cases forest conservation might belong in a portfolio of anti-malarial interventions. However, previous studies of deforestation and malaria prevalence were based on a small number of countries and observations, commonly using cross-sectional analyses of less-than-ideal forest data at the aggregate jurisdictional level. In this paper we combine fourteen years of high-resolution satellite data on forest loss with individual-level data from Demographic and Health Surveys on malaria in more than 6…
COMMERCIALIZATION OF ALTERNATIVE LIVESTOCK FEEDS COULD SAVE FISH STOCKS IN LAKE VICTORIA.
2018
Fish is an important ingredient of livestock feeds. Therefore the increasing livestock production in East Africa implies increased exploitation of fishes. This is due to the use of some fish species like Silver fish (Rastrineobola argentea) as source of protein in animal diets. This is likely to result into over exploitation of some fish species which has implications for the survival of many other organisms within the food chain/web in the lake. Literature reveals organisms that have a relatively high crude protein content. Insects such as cockroaches (65% crude protein) can be domesticated and used as animal feeds. This has the potential of boosting livestock production such as poultry, f…
