Social interactions, like any behaviour, are context dependent, varying with…[Read more]

In veterinary and human medicine, gabapentin (a chemical analog of γ-aminobutyric acid) is commonly prescribed to treatpostoperative and chronic neuropathic pain. This study explored the pharmacokinetics of oral and subcutaneous administrationof gabapentin at high (80 mg/kg) and low (30 mg/kg) doses as a potential analgesic in black-tailed…[Read more]

All-solid-state sodium-carbon dioxide (Na-CO2) battery is an emerging technology that effectively utilizes the greenhouse gas, CO2, for energy storage with the virtues of minimized electrolyte leakage and suppressed Na dendrite growth for the Na metal anode. However, the sluggish reduction/evolution reactions of CO2 on the solid electrolyte/CO2…[Read more]

Aquaporin 4 (AQP4) is an ubiquitously expressed membrane protein channel found in the central nervous system and mainly on astrocytes. Recent studies on AQP4 has implicated it in tumorigenesis. It is of interest to determine the potential value of AQP4 in identifying, guiding treatment and prognosticating various types of CNS cancers. This…[Read more]

Subclinical hypothyroidism was not associated with depression (OR=0.61, 95% CI 0.20-1.87) nor with the specific depression symptoms. Using lower criteria for subclinical hypothyroidism diagnosis resulted in similar findings.

In a nationally representative sample of US adults, we observed no association between subclinical hypothyroidism…[Read more]
