BACKGROUND Some studies have shown the presence of psychopathological disorders in transient global amnesia. AIMS To determine whether transient global amnesia is associated with psychopathological disorders and to assess the influence of these psychopathological disorders on memory impairments. METHOD Levels of anxiety and depression before and during transient global amnesia were rated. M...

IMPORTANCE Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1), the most common muscular dystrophy observed in adults, is a genetic multisystem disorder affecting several other organs besides skeletal muscle, including the brain. Cognitive and personality abnormalities have been reported; however, no studies have investigated brain functional networks and their relationship with personality traits/disorders in pat...

The default-mode network (DMN), which comprises medial frontal, temporal and parietal regions, is part of the brain's intrinsic organization. The serotonergic (5-HT) neurotransmitter system projects to DMN regions from midbrain efferents, and manipulation of this system could thus reveal insights into the neurobiological mechanisms of DMN functioning. Here, we investigate intrinsic functional c...

The nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug naproxen is primarily metabolized in humans by acyl glucuronidation to form naproxen acyl glucuronide and by O-dealkylation to form 6-O-desmethylnaproxen (DMN). DMN contains both carboxy and phenolic groups and has been shown to form acyl glucuronide and sulfate conjugates. This project aimed to investigate whether DMN formed a phenolic glucuronide and di...

OBJECTIVE To investigate histopathological and biochemical effects of green tea and/or licorice aqueous extracts in thyroid functions in male albino rats intoxicated with Dimethylnitrosamine. METHODS 40 Male albino rats were divided into two main groups, 20 normal rats and 20 DMN intoxicated rats. Normal rats were subgrouped into 4 equal groups, group A without treatment (controls), group B t...

shape-selective methylation of naphthalene (naph) over sapo-11 zeolite was carried out in a fixed-bed flow reactor under atmospheric pressure. some zeolites, such as h-beta (hβ), husy and zsm-5 were also evaluated for comparison with sapo-11 zeolite.the results showed that sapo-11 exhibited higher stability, higher selectivity of  2,6-dimethylnaphthalene (2,6-dmn), and higher 2,6-/2,7-dmn ratio...

The effects of age on functional connectivity (FC) of intrinsic connectivity networks (ICNs) have largely been derived from cross-sectional studies. Far less is known about longitudinal changes in FC and how they relate to ageing-related cognitive decline. We evaluated intra- and inter-network FC in 78 healthy older adults two or three times over a period of 4years. Using linear mixed modeling ...

Rule markup languages are the vehicle for using rules on the Web and other distributed systems. They allow deploying, executing, publishing and communicating rules in a network. The Object Management Group (OMG) standardized the Decision Modelling and Notation (DMN). Decision tables describe the business logic of a decision making process. We form a bridge by providing a translation framework t...

In dissolving microneedle (DMN)-mediated therapy, complete and rapid delivery of DMNs is critical for the desired efficacy. Traditional patch-based DMN delivery, however, may fail due to incomplete delivery from insufficient skin insertion or rapid separation of microneedles due to their strong bond to the backing film. Here, we introduce the Troy microneedle, which was created by cyclic contac...
