During development of the central nervous system, neurons pass through windows of vulnerability to environmental factors. Two windows are gestational day (G) 7 (during gastrulation) and G12 (early neuronal generation). The present study examined the effects of ethanol exposure at these times on social behavior and on the number of neurons in the central nucleus of the amygdala (Ce), which is im...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the stability, postural adjustments and contributions of sensory information for postural control in children. METHODS 40 boys and 40 girls were equally divided into groups of 5, 7, 9 and 12 years (G5, G7, G9 and G12). All children were submitted to dynamic posturography using a modified sensory organization test, using four sensory conditions: combining stable or sway r...

Lysosomal Storage Disorders (LSDs) are a group of metabolic syndromes, each one due to the deficit of one lysosomal enzyme. Many LSDs affect most of the organ systems and overall about 75% of the patients present neurological impairment. Enzyme Replacement Therapy, although determining some systemic clinical improvements, is ineffective on the CNS disease, due to enzymes' inability to cross the...

We tested the hypothesis whether chemically induced motility patterns of bacteria may affect their transport in porous media. Naphthalene-degrading Pseudomonas putida G7 cells were exposed to glucose, salicylate, and silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and their motility was assessed by computer-assisted, quantitative swimming and capillary-based taxis determinations. Exposure to salicylate induced sm...

This paper analyses the impact of Covid-19 pandemic on stock market returns and their volatility in case G20 countries. In contrast to existing empirical literature, which typically focuses only either deaths or lockdown policies, our analysis is based a comprehensive dynamic panel model accounting for effects both epidemiological situation restrictive measures as well fiscal monetary responses...

The Great Inflation of the 1970s was an international phenomenon. We study whether monetary authorities in the G7 countries were changing their responses to inflation in a similar manner during and following the Great Inflation era. Our results suggest that the common to the G7 countries inflation pattern during the Great Inflation period is associated with a common pattern in the monetary poli...

This study evaluated the effect of green tea application time on the bond strength of enamel after enamel bleaching. Enamel samples were obtained from 80 third molars and randomly divided into 7 experimental groups (G1-G7) and 1 group without treatment (G8): G1, bleached with 10% carbamide peroxide (CP); G2, CP + 10% sodium ascorbate gel (SA) for 15 min; G3, CP + SA for 30 min; G4, CP + SA for ...

Resistance to Soybean mosaic virus (SMV; Genus Potyvirus; Family Potyviridae) in soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr.) is controlled by single dominant genes at three distinct loci, Rsv1, Rsv3 and Rsv4. The mechanisms of resistance at the Rsv3 locus were investigated in Harosoy and the Williams isoline L29 by tracking virus replication and movement. Two other cultivars with two genes for resistance ...
