Post-cardiac arrest myocardial dysfunction significantly contributes to early mortality after the return of spontaneous circulation.However, no effective therapy is available now.Aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) enzyme has been shown to protect the heart from aldehyde toxicity such as 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (4-HNE) and oxidative stress.In this DETANGL
THE SAND DOLLAR PARASCUTELLA (ECHINOIDEA) IN THE LATE BADENIAN OF CROATIA
The echinoid Parascutella gibbercula (de Serres, 1829) (Echinoidea: Clypeasteroida) is reported from the Mali Potok area of the Medvednica Mountain in Croatia.The fossil site is situated in mixed siliciclastics and biocalcarenites of late Badenian age.These echinoids are large extremely flat echinoids, informally known as sand dollars.The discovere
An information theoretic method to resolve millisecond-scale spike timing precision in a comprehensive motor program.
Sensory inputs in nervous systems are often encoded at the millisecond scale in a precise spike timing code.There is now growing evidence in behaviors ranging from slow breathing to rapid flight for the prevalence of precise timing encoding in motor systems.Despite this, we largely do not know at what scale timing matters in these circuits due to t
A rare case of bilateral ocular surface squamous neoplasia in an immunocompetent patient
Ocular surface squamous neoplasia (OSSN) is a broad Specimen Collection - Specimen Collection Devices entity that includes dysplastic lesions involving the squamous epithelium of conjunctiva and cornea.It is commonly seen in males between 50 and 75 years of age and has higher incidence in places close to the equator.Although a disease seen in 75% o
Integrated economic model of waste management: Case study for South Moravia region
The paper introduces and discusses the developed integrated economic model of municipal waste management of the Czech Republic, which was developed by authors as a balanced network model for a set of sources (mostly municipalities) of municipal solid waste connected with a set of chosen waste treatment facilities processing their waste.Model is imp
