Despite continued study on the neurobiological bases of aggressive and sexual behaviors, it is still not well understood how the brain integrates social information with physiological and neural states to produce context-specific behavioral outcomes. In fishes, manipulation of endogenous levels of arginine vasotocin (AVT) through peripheral and intracerebroventricular pharmacological injections...

We investigated the effects of the neurohypophysial peptide, arginine vasotocin (AVT), on the calling behavior of male Acris crepitans during and immediately following a simulated acoustic agonistic encounter. AVT did not block the aggressive response to agonistic calls, as the changes in temporal call characteristics in response to the encounter were similar to those of saline-treated males. H...

BACKGROUND In pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), acute vasodilator response testing (AVT) is considered important to identify adult patients with favorable prognosis using calcium-channel blocker (CCB) therapy. However, in pediatric PAH, criteria used to identify acute responders and CCB use are insufficiently studied. OBJECTIVES This study sought to describe current clinical practice of ...

This paper presents an ongoing research project that involves the compilation and exploitation of the multimedia corpus of subtitled films Veiga as a method to investigate the practice of English intralingual subtitling and English-Galician interlingual subtitling. Our project draws on recent work in corpus-based translation studies and its applications in the field of audiovisual translation a...

BACKGROUND The clinical significance of acute vasoreactivity testing (AVT) in patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) remains unclear. We analyzed changes in hemodynamics and oxygenation dynamics indices after AVT in patients with CTEPH using patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) as controls. METHODS We analyzed retrospectively the results of AVT in 8...

Being able to propose a taxonomy of translation techniques has been long-standing aspiration theorists. By building on previous proposals, this paper presents the HispaTAV typology (ToT), new list specifically designed for subtitling trainees. The aim proposal is increase students’ awareness variety possible solutions translate segments source text, and promote creativity, key factor in develop...

There were two aims of this in vitro perfusion study. Firstly, to determine which class of receptors, glucocorticoid (GRs) or mineralocorticoid (MRs), are involved in cortisol regulation of arginine vasotocin (AVT) and isotocin (IT) release from the hypothalamo-pituitary (H-P) complex of round goby (Neogobius melanostomus). Secondly, to determine which pathways, genomic or non-genomic, are invo...

The vertebrate neurohypophysial peptide arginine vasotocin (AVT), which may be endogenous to the Aplysia central nervous system, was tested for its effect on sensory to motor neurone synaptic transmission. In the semi-intact preparation, superfusion of AVT (10(-6) moll-1) over the abdominal ganglion decreased the amplitude of both the gill withdrawal reflex and the short-latency excitatory post...

BACKGROUND Aortic valve thickening (AVT) without aortic stenosis (AS) is common and was often considered benign. However, it has recently been found to be associated with increased morbidity and mortality. It is unknown whether patients with AVT are at risk for the development of AS. METHODS Our echocardiography database from 1987 to 1993 was searched for cases of AVT with at least 1 year of ...
