Novel interventions are needed to manage treatment-resistant depression (TRD), defined as patients who do not respond two or more antidepressant trials of adequate dose and duration. We report on a 28-year-old female with TRD nonresponse several antidepressants experienced full symptomatic remission after participating in the heated hatha yoga (HY) arm randomized controlled trial (RCT) for depr...

The naphtha catalytic reforming process is evaluated by designing new composite nano-catalysts. Three catalysts were prepared for this process. first catalyst was molybdenum carbide with platinum over HY zeolite (Mo2C.Pt/HY zeolite), the second modified cerium nitrate (Mo2C.Pt/CeY and last bimetallic titanium a content of 1% 0.11% (Pt.Ti/HY zeolite). All tested several tests, mainly X-Ray Diffr...

We have shown that glucocorticoids reversibly change the growth control of rat C6 glioma cells from a transformed to a normal pattern. Here we report that the glucocorticoid hormone hydrocortisone (Hy) modulates structure and function of cell surface and cytoskeleton. The hormone is shown to cause: (a) increased flattening and adhesion to solid substrates and to fibrin layers, (b) inhibition of...

This study was made to separate genetic from postnatal maternal influences on yawning in two strains of Sprague-Dawley rats selected for high- (HY) and low-yawning frequency (LY). Foster mothers of the two strains reared litters of pups in the four possible combinations and yawning was recorded in a novel environment when the adult offspring were 75-day-old. Yawning frequency of males and femal...

Induction of antigen-specific tolerance to transplantation antigens is desirable to control host-versus-graft and graft-versus-host reactions. Following molecular identification of a set of minor histocompatibility (H) antigens, we have used selected HY peptide epitopes for this purpose. Intranasal administration of individual major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II-restricted HY peptid...

A total of 252 strains of group B streptococci were serotyped and examined for their ability to ferment lactose (lac+), to hydrolyze salicin (sal+), and to produce hyaluronidase (hy+). Of these strains, 67 had been isolated from bacteremia and meningitis in infants less than 2 months old. Eighty-one strains were isolated from bacteremia and meningitis in adults, and 104 strains were from variou...

When two prion strains infect a single host, one strain can interfere with the ability of the other to cause disease but it is not known whether prion replication of the second strain is also diminished. To further investigate strain interference, we infected hamsters in the sciatic nerve with the long-incubation-period transmissible mink encephalopathy (TME) agent DY TME prior to superinfectio...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Hyperforin (HY) is used to treat depression and skin irritation and has been shown a number of pharmacological activities. The literature does no cite data on changes that may occur in the body after HY intake (ethylene diammonium salt - EDS) in long-term administration. From this point of view, the present work is a key to determining the pharmacotoxicological profile of th...
