BACKGROUND Cytoglobin (Cygb) was discovered a decade ago as the fourth vertebrate heme-globin. The function of Cygb is still unknown, but accumulating evidence from in vitro studies point to a putative role in scavenging of reactive oxygen species and nitric oxide metabolism and in vivo studies have shown Cygb to be up regulated by hypoxic stress. This study addresses three main questions relat...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Asymmetry of the hippocampus is regarded as an important clinical finding, but limited data on hippocampal asymmetry are available for the general population. Here we present hippocampal asymmetry data from the Dallas Heart Study determined by automated methods and its relationship to age, sex, and ethnicity. MATERIALS AND METHODS 3D magnetization-prepared rapid acquisi...

Rationale: The mechanisms responsible for the unique antidepressant properties of ketamine have only been partly resolved. Recent preclinical reports implicate the neurotransmitter serotonin [5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT)] in the antidepressant-like response of ketamine, and modulation of 5-HT1B receptors has been hypothesized to attain an important role. Objectives: To evaluate the role of endoge...

Learning to generate a task-aware base learner proves promising direction deal with few-shot learning (FSL) problem. Existing methods mainly focus on generating an embedding model utilized fixed metric (e.g., cosine distance) for nearest neighbour classification or directly linear classifier. However, due the limited discriminative capacity of such simple classifier, these fail generalize chall...

Large-scale investigations aimed at elucidating the molecular mechanism of action of antidepressant treatment are achievable through the application of proteomic technologies. We performed a proteomic study on the Flinders Sensitive Line (FSL), a genetically selected rat model of depression, and the control Flinders Resistant Line (FRL). To evaluate gene-environment interactions, FSL and FRL an...

This article explores how teachers’ professional learning about the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) can re-orient their reported teaching practices to meet learner-identified sociolinguistic needs. To this end, first examines learners’ needs by exploring extent which post-secondary French-as-a-second-language (FSL) learners, who completed elementary and secondary schooling in Onta...

The first Slavic version of the mediaeval Life St Wenceslaus (FSL) offers myriad opportunities for scholarly research on a number levels, rhetorical, stylistic and thematic. current article seeks to coordinate an understanding how formal rhythmical structures vita enhance work’s thematic material. In this regard it is shown that FSL composed in rhythmically structured prose as described R. Picc...
