Blinding in tDCS Studies: Correct End-of-Study Guess Does Not Moderate the Effects on Associative and Working Memory
(MDPI, 2022)
Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) has become a valuable tool in cognitive neuroscience research as it enables causal inferences about neural underpinnings of cognition. However, studies using tDCS to modulate ...
Inflammation Promotes Oxidative and Nitrosative Stress in Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia
(MDPI, 2022)
Chronic inflammation is characterized by the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), reactive nitrogen species, and inflammatory cytokines in myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs). In addition to these parameters, the ...
Surface waters as a potential source of Giardia and Cryptosporidium in Serbia
(Academic Press Inc Elsevier Science, San Diego, 2020)
Giardiasis and cryptosporidiosis are recognized by the WHO as important emerging diseases of the 21st century. Symptoms are similar and include diarrhoea and vomiting, which may be severe, even life-threatening, for the ...
Hyperbaric oxygen preconditioning and the role of NADPH oxidase inhibition in postischemic acute kidney injury induced in spontaneously hypertensive rats
(Public Library Science, San Francisco, 2020)
Renal ischemia/reperfusion injury is a common cause of acute kidney injury (AKI) and hypertension might contribute to the increased incidence of AKI. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of single and ...
A Comparison of Solar Ultraviolet Radiation Exposure in Urban Canyons in Venice, Italy and Johannesburg, South Africa
(Wiley, Hoboken, 2020)
Urban environments can have high-risk spaces that can provide excess personal sun exposure, such as urban or street canyons, and the spaces between buildings, among others. In these urban spaces, sun exposure can be high ...

(Frontiers Media Sa, Lausanne, 2020)
Objective Due to the wide impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on mental health, the need for scalable interventions that can effectively reduce psychological distress has been recognized. Expressive writing (EW) can be beneficial ...
Evidence-based guidelines on the therapeutic use of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS): An update (2014-2018)
(Elsevier Ireland Ltd, Clare, 2020)
A group of European experts reappraised the guidelines on the therapeutic efficacy of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) previously published in 2014 [Lefaucheur et al., Clin Neurophysiol 2014;125:2150-206]. ...
The influence of specific aspects of occupational stress on security guards' health and work ability: detailed extension of a previous study
(Inst Medical Research & Occupational Health, Zagreb, 2020)
In our earlier study of security guards, we showed that higher occupational stress was associated with health impairments (metabolic syndrome, diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular diseases) and work disability. The aim ...
Applications of statistical physics to study climate phenomena and contribute to overall adaptation efforts
(Iop Publishing Ltd, Bristol, 2020)
This paper provides a brief review of the interesting physics that arises from the use of detrending methods for time series analysis for the study of phenomena related to problems of adaptation to climate change. It ...
Vitamin D3 Stimulates Proliferation Capacity, Expression of Pluripotency Markers, and Osteogenesis of Human Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stromal/Stem Cells, Partly through SIRT1 Signaling
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2022)
The biology of vitamin D3 is well defined, as are the effects of its active metabolites on various cells, including mesenchymal stromal/stem cells (MSCs). However, the biological potential of its precursor, cholecalciferol ...
