Evidence shows that there are reductions in gray matter volume (GMV) and changes in long association white matter fibres within the left insula-temporoparietal junction (TPJ) during the early stages of psychotic disorders but less is known about short association fibres (sAFs). In this study we sought to characterise the changes in sAFs and associated volumetric changes of the left insula-TPJ d...

Edible seed squash (Cucurbita pepo L, ESS), which is grown for its seeds to consume as a snack, has very important place in vegetable production Türkiye. Viruses are one of the most problems cultivation ESS country. One these diseases Watermelon mosaic virus (WMV, Potyvirus, Potyviridae). Also, it’s common and devastating on other cucurbits worldwide. Propolis, composed mainly by plant resins e...

The nucleotide sequences of the coat protein genes and 3' non-coding regions of two aphid-transmissible isolates (G2 and G7) of soybean mosaic virus (SMV) were determined. The coat protein of the G2 isolate differs from that of the aphid non-transmissible N isolate by a single amino acid at position 12 (aspartic acid in N, glycine in G2 and G7). The G7 isolate differs from G2 and N at three and...

Although observational findings linking breast milk to higher scores on cognitive tests may beconfounded by factors associated with mothers’ choice to breastfeed, it has been suggested thatone or more constituents of breast milk facilitate cognitive development, particularly in preterms.Because cognitive scores are related to head size, we hypothesised that breast milk mediatesc...

The purpose of the study was to evaluate brain myelination by measuring the magnetization transfer ratio (MTR) and to measure grey (GMV) and white matter volume (WMV) in macrocephalic children with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1). Seven NF1 patients (aged 0.65– 16.67 years) and seven ageand gender-matched controls were studied. A three-dimensional (3D) gradient echo sequence with and without mag...

Abstract Objective: Hispanic and non-Hispanic Black older adults are at increased risk of dementia compared with Whites. Cerebral white matter disease may contribute to this disparity, though little is known about how factors such as neighborhood disadvantage perceived economic status relate integrity in diverse groups. Method: Participants from a population-based, multiethnic cohort (N=2766; F...

Background: To determine whether using mechanical ventilation in neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) influences motor development of low birth weight (LBW) infants and to compare their motor development with normal birth weight (NBW) infants at the age of 8 to 12 months using Peabody Developmental Motor Scale 2 (PDMS-2). Methods: This cross sectional study was conducted on 70 LBW infants in ...

UNLABELLED Whilst many studies show sex differences in cerebral asymmetry, their mechanisms are still unknown. This report describes the potential impact of sex hormones and sex chromosomes by comparing MR data from 39 male and 47 female controls and 33 men with an extra X-chromosome (47,XXY). METHODS Regional asymmetry in gray and white matter volumes (GMV and WMV) was calculated using voxel...
