Calixarene: A Versatile Material for Drug Design and Applications

2016

The therapy of various diseases by the drugs entrapped in calixarene derivatives is gaining attraction of researchers nowadays. Calixarenes are macrocyclic nano-baskets which belong to cavitands class of host-guest chemistry. They are the marvelous hosts with distinct hydrophobic three dimensional cavities to entrap and encapsulate biologically active guest drugs. Calixarene and its derivatives develop inclusion complexes with various types of drugs and vitamins for their sustained/targeted release. Calixarene and its derivatives are used as carriers for anti-cancer, anti-convulsant, anti-hypertensive, anthelmentic, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial and antipsychotic drugs. They are the impo…

Kompression ja 2 ½-viikon korkeaintensiteettisen intervalli-harjoittelun vaikutukset naisjääkiekkoilijoiden hermo-lihasjärjestelmään

2015

Kinnunen, Juho-Ville 2015. Kompression ja 2½-viikon korkeaintensiteettisen intervalli harjoittelun vaikutukset naisjääkiekkoilijoiden hermo-lihasjärjestelmään. Liikuntabiologian laitos, Jyväskylän yliopisto. Biomekaniikan Pro gradu -tutkielma 64 s. Korkeaintensiteettinen intervalli-harjoittelu (HIIT) on yleinen harjoittelumuoto, jolla voidaan saada aikaan vasteita aineenvaihdunnallisesti sekä hermo-lihasjärjestelmässä. Harjoittelumuotoa voidaan hyödyntää muun harjoittelun lisänä ja siten saada aikaiseksi vasteita lyhyemmillä harjoitteluajoilla, kuin perinteisessä harjoitteissa. Kompressiolla on puolestaan todettu olevan vaikutuksia perättäisten räjähtävien suoritusten keskitehon kasvussa ja…

Which direction should I go? A quest for understanding the effect of TMS stimulus orientation on evoked responses

2023

The orientation of the electric field (E-field) induced by transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) plays a significant role in determining the magnitude of motor evoked potentials (MEP) and TMS-evoked potentials (TEP). However, fundamental mechanisms explaining the interaction of the induced E-field and the underlying neuronal populations are still largely unknown. We recently entered a quest to understand and describe neurophysiological and physical factors affecting the effect of the E-field orientation on the MEP and TEP. We developed a dual-coil TMS transducer capable of fast and accurate electronic control of the induced E-field orientation. With this transducer, we could scan the effe…

Toddlers' Play in Early Childhood Education Settings

2018

More and more toddlers participate in early childhood education outside home, sharing a significant part of their day with teachers and peers, often in play. Despite the knowledge that has accumulated on toddlers’ playing skills and on the psychology underlying the development of play, research on toddlers’ play from the educational and pedagogical viewpoints is limited. Whereas teachers of toddlers report high respect for play and the importance of play in toddlers’ lives, research shows that the position of play is generally weak. This chapter, drawing on existing research, reviews the development and characteristics of toddlers’ play, describes the ways in which they play, and discusses …

Helminth-Trematode: Echinostoma

2014

The term, echinostomes, includes those digeneans belonging to the family Echinostomatidae. Echinostomes are a rather heterogeneous group of cosmopolitan hermaphroditic digeneans that inhabit, as adults, the intestine of a great spectrum of vertebrate hosts, such as birds, mammals and, occasionally, reptiles and fishes. They can also parasitize humans causing the food-borne infection called echinostomiasis. The definitive hosts become infected after ingestion of the second intermediate host harboring the encysted metacercariae. Clinical symptoms of echinostomiasis include abdominal pain, violent watery diarrhea, and anorexia. The disease occurs focally and transmission is linked to fresh or …

Interspecific and intraspecific interactions in the monogenean communities of fish: a question of study scale?

2007

SUMMARYMonogenean communities of fish have generally been considered non-interactive as negative interspecific interactions have rarely been reported. Most of the earlier studies on monogenean communities, however, have been conducted not only in systems with relatively low parasite abundances but, more importantly, at study scales where microhabitat-level interactions between the parasites are easily overlooked. We examined the communities of 3 abundant Dactylogyrus (Monogenea) species on the gills of crucian carp (Carassius carassius) by analysing the interactions at the scale of individual gill filaments, where interactions between the species, if any, should most likely take place. Cont…
