Reduced Food Availability Amplifies Behavioral Depression and Impairs Locomotor Performance After Immune Challenge in Xenopus laevis

Mounting an immune response and locomotor activity are energetically costly processes that can generate trade-offs affecting energy allocation, muscle performance, and activity patterns. The balance between these demands can be modulated by factors such as food availability and e...

Effects of photobiomodulation, alone or combined with dexamethasone, on cellular metabolic activity and inflammatory markers in LPS/IFN-γ-stimulated J774 macrophages

The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of photobiomodulation (PBM), dexamethasone (DEXA), and their combination on cellular metabolic activity and inflammatory cytokines in LPS/IFN-γ-stimulated J774 macrophages.Cells were stimulated with lipopolysaccharide (L...

Nutritional Status Enhances Honey Bee Colony Development and Soybean Yield, While Exposure to a Triple-Action Fungicide During Pollination Does Not Compromise Social Stability

Adequate nutrition is essential for honey bee colony development and may influence pollination services provided to agricultural crops. In contrast, fungicides commonly used in agriculture have been associated with physiological and behavioral alterations in individual bees, alth...

Autotie: A partial automation of the seismic to well tie with matching region estimation

Abstract Tying seismic data to well logs is a critical step in seismic amplitude processing and interpretation. This process is often repeated throughout the exploration phase to enhance the understanding of well characteristics, such as the time-depth relationship. However, the...

SCORPION: Qualidade do sono - Comparando o efeito da ondansetrona ou da dexametasona administradas como profilaxia de rotina intraoperatória para prevenir náuseas e vômitos pós-operatórios

Náuseas e vômitos pós-operatórios estão entre as complicações mais frequentes e de maior morbidade após anestesia geral em crianças, e sua profilaxia farmacológica intraoperatória é prática padrão em pediatria. Dexametasona e ondansetrona são os agentes mais usados para essa fina...

The bulging pancreas: unmasking causes beyond autoimmunity—an imaging-based approach to diffuse pancreatic enlargement

Abstract Diffuse pancreatic enlargement is frequently attributed to autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP), but several benign, genetic, inflammatory, including acute interstitial edematous pancreatitis, and malignant entities can produce a similar imaging appearance. This review provides...

Angular Dependence of Cs-137 Compton Scattering and Constraints from Energy Calibration

This research successfully validates relativistic Compton kinematics via clear angular dependence. However, it critically exposes that profound energy calibration inconsistencies fundamentally prevent quantitative electron rest energy measurements. Deeply grateful for the guidanc...

Telephone versus in-person administration of the Early Childhood Development Index 2030: a crossover study, Brazil, Canada, India and Malawi.

Objective: To examine agreement between telephone and in-person administration of the Early Childhood Development Index 2030 (ECDI2030) survey. Methods: -tests and intraclass correlation coefficients. Findings: : -0.36), regardless of modality. However, pooled and stratified intr...

Safety and reproductive performance in sows after vaccination: a randomized controlled trial

Abstract Although reproductive vaccines are essential in swine herd health programs, evidence on their safety across different physiological stages remains limited. This study evaluated the clinical and reproductive safety of Porcilis ® EPL in sows and gilts under commercial fiel...
