To assess the similarity of the behavioural effects of the rapid transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) to those produced by other antidepressant treatments, in particular to repeated electroconvulsive shock (ECS), we carried out experiments on Wistar rats. The effects of a standard ECS procedure (9 daily treatments; the current parameters: 150 mA, 50 Hz, 0.5 s) were compared with 18 d treatm...

Abstract: Nano-structural synthesized materials can be fabricated utilizing intensive milling after combustion synthesis. The Al2O3-TiB2 ceramic composite has been synthesized by aluminothermic reactions between Al, Ti (TiO2), and B (B2O3 or H3BO3). Boric acid (H3BO3) is less expensive than boron oxide, and after being dehydrated at 200°C, boron oxide will be obtained. In this study, Al, TiO2, ...

BACKGROUND This study aimed to examine the effects of melatonin supplementation on liver glycogen levels in rats with streptozotocin- induced diabetes and subjected to acute swimming exercise. MATERIAL AND METHODS Eighty Sprague-Dawley type adult male rats were divided into eight groups: Group 1, general control; Group 2, melatonin-supplemented control; Group 3, melatonin-supplemented diabete...

Random amplified polymorphic DNA typing was used to study the genetic diversity of Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains from (i) ventilated patients with nosocomial pneumonia who were hospitalized in intensive care units, (ii) cases of bacteremia in cancer patients with severe neutropenia, and (iii) rivers and swimming pools. Genetic diversity was determined by three phylogenetic methods and by stati...

The development of swimming behavior and the correlated activity patterns recorded in motoneurons during fictive swimming in paralyzed zebrafish larvae were examined and compared. Larvae were studied from when they hatch (after 2 days) and are first capable of locomotion to when they are active swimmers capable of capturing prey (after 4 days). High-speed (500 Hz) video imaging was used to make...

This review attempts to formulate a new hypothesis on the neuronal organization of human cerebral asymmetries. In short, we claim that left-right differences of diverse functions are constituted by two different mechanisms. One are neuroanatomical asymmetries of different cortical and subcortical areas. It is assumed that these features develop according to principles laid down in early ontogen...

the aim of the present study was to examine the effect of one session of swimming and running exercise on the appetite and calorie intake in healthy girls. the research design was a cross – sectional one and 12 female university students (mean age 22.5±1.3 yr, weight 56.07±5.46 kg, body fat percent 27.125±8.316, bmi 21.175±2.68 kg/m2) voluntarily participated in three modes of control, swimming...

Despite worrying evidence that British children, like their parents, lead a predominantly sedentary life, 3 concerns continue to be expressed for those children who do take part in organised sport and who may be involved in intensive training from an early age. 5 Injuries of all types in childhood account for a large part of the workload of accident and emergency departments and result in a sig...

background: physical exercise is known to be a stressor stimulus that leads to reproductive disruption.objective: the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of forced swimming on the uterus and ovaries in mice.materials and methods: adult mice (n=24) were divided into the following threegroups: a, control; b, swimming in water (10popc); and c, swimming in water (23popc).swimmers swam for ...
