Sekmīgai darba izstrādei tika izvirzīts pētniecības jautājums: Kāda ir saskarsme ar vājredzīgu un neredzīgu pa…
Differential memory persistence of odor mixture and components in newborn rabbits: competition between the whole and its parts
2014
Interacting with the mother during the daily nursing, newborn rabbits experience her body odour cues. In particular, the mammary pheromone (MP) contained in rabbit milk triggers the typical behaviour which helps to localize and seize the nipples. It also promotes the very rapid appetitive learning of simple or complex stimuli (odorants or mixtures) through associative conditioning. We previously showed that 24h after MP-induced conditioning to odorants A (ethyl isobutyrate) or B (ethyl maltol), newborn rabbits perceive the AB mixture in a weak configural way, i.e. they perceive the odour of the AB configuration in addition to the odours of the elements. Moreover, after conditioning to the m…
The interplay of intrinsic need satisfaction and Facebook specific motives in explaining addictive behavior on Facebook
2014
We conducted an online survey with 581 SNS users.We developed a scale measuring SNS addiction.SNS specific motives mediate the effect of intrinsic needs on SNS addiction.People try to compensate thwarted intrinsic needs with gratifications from SNS use.Gratifications sought from SNS use can cause addictive SNS usage patterns. The present paper aims at exploring the new phenomenon of social network site (SNS) addiction and at identifying predictors of problematic SNS use. For this purpose, a scale measuring addictive behavior specifically with regard to SNS use was developed. The effects of intrinsic need satisfaction in the offline context and of SNS-specific motives on SNS addiction were t…
Stretch-induced Intussuceptive and Sprouting Angiogenesis in the Chick Chorioallantoic Membrane
2014
Vascular systems grow and remodel in response to not only metabolic needs, but also mechanical influences as well. Here, we investigated the influence of tissue-level mechanical forces on the patterning and structure of the chick chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) microcirculation. A dipole stretch field was applied to the CAM using custom computer-controlled servomotors. The topography of the stretch field was mapped using finite element models. After 3 days of stretch, Sholl analysis of the CAM demonstrated a 7-fold increase in conducting vessel intersections within the stretch field (p 0.05). In contrast, corrosion casting and SEM of the stretch field capillary meshwork demonstrated intense …
Reading changes in children and adolescents with dyslexia after transcranial direct current stimulation.
2016
Noninvasive brain stimulation offers the possibility to induce changes in cortical excitability and it is an interesting option as a remediation tool for the treatment of developmental disorders. This study aimed to investigate the effect of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) on reading and reading-related skills of children and adolescents with dyslexia. Nineteen children and adolescents with dyslexia performed different reading and reading-related tasks (word, nonword, and text reading; lexical decision; phonemic blending; verbal working memory; rapid automatized naming) in a baseline condition without tDCS and after 20 min of exposure to three different tDCS conditions: left …

The aim of this work is to retrospectively study the prevalence of coronary abnormalities in a large population of patients undergoing CT of the heart.
Antropocene o Capitalocene? Non è solo questione di geologia
2023
L'Antropocene, termine con cui si designa oggi una nuova era geologica, sembra il topos più espressivo dell'immaginario, anche distopico, del XXI secolo. Per quanto l'Antropocene venga presentato come il momento di più alta auto-consapevolezza della specie umana, esso è concetto, e rappresentazione, talmente inflazionato da aver travalicato l’ambito geologico in cui esso era stato pensato, determinando definizioni non univoche e generando, forse suo malgrado, una nuova e grande narrazione della storia e della vicenda umana, pur con sfumature diverse. In questo contributo cercheremo di indagare i significati e i limiti della narrazione che l'Antropocene comporta. Inoltre, confrontandoci con …
Cancer‐associated venous thromboembolism: Treatment and prevention with rivaroxaban
2020
Abstract Cancer‐associated venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a frequent, potentially life‐threatening event that complicates cancer management. Anticoagulants are the cornerstone of therapy for the treatment and prevention of cancer‐associated thrombosis (CAT); factor Xa–inhibiting direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs; apixaban, edoxaban, and rivaroxaban), which have long been recommended for the treatment of VTE in patients without cancer, have been investigated in this setting. The first randomized comparisons of DOACs against low‐molecular‐weight heparin for the treatment of CAT indicated that DOACs are efficacious in this setting, with findings reflected in recent updates to published guidan…
Cilvēka zarnu mikrobioma salīdzinājums pacientiem ar dažādu 2.tipa cukura diabēta ilgumu un terapiju veidiem
2021
Maģistra darba izstrādes laikā iegūti rezultāti par zarnu mikrobioma taksonomiskā sastāva atšķirībām 270 pacientos ar 2. tipa cukura diabēta (T2D) diagnozi, bet atšķirīgu tā ilgumu kopš diagnosticēšanas brīža un pielietotajām antidiabētiskajām terapijām. Darba mērķis bija noskaidrot, kā šīm T2D pacientu apakšgrupām atšķiras zarnu mikrobioma taksonomiskais profils. Mikrobiālajai DNS, kas iegūta no fēču paraugiem, tika veikta visa metagenoma analīze ar lielapjoma paralēlo sekvenēšanu. Darba rezultāti apstiprināja vairākas zināmas asociācijas starp dažādām antidiabētiskajām terapijām un cilvēka zarnu mikrobiomu, kā arī iegūti jauni dati par zarnu mikrobioma taksonomiskajām atšķirībām indivīdos…

2022
Foeniculum vulgare (Apiaceae) is an aromatic fennel with important practices in medicinal and traditional fields, used in the treatment of digestive complications, and gastrointestinal and respiratory disorders. Its leaves and stems, tender and fresh, are used in the production of pasta dressing and main courses, while its seeds, with a strong smell of anise, are excellent flavoring for baked goods, meat dishes, fish, and alcoholic beverages. The aim of this work is concerning the extraction of essential oil (EO) from the leaves of F. vulgare subsp. vulgare var. vulgare, investigating antimicrobial, antibiofilm, and antioxidant efficacy. In particular, GC-MS analysis showed how the chemical…
