In one study, for example, the axillary sweat of sexually aroused and non-aroused men was presented to women while monitoring the women’s brain activity (Zhou & Chen,2008). The results showed that sweat released while the men were sexually aroused activated neural substrates involved in the p...
Chemotherapy causes deleterious side effects during the course of cancer management. The toxic effects may be extended to CNS chronically resulting in altered cognitive function like learning and memory. The present study follows a computational assessme
Three days later, blocks were transferred to a simi- lar solution but with increased concentration of glycerol (20%) for four additional days according to previously described methods [78]. To avoid formation of crystals that may occur during the freezing of large brain pieces, the blocks were...
#1), 1 liter fluids (helps prevent dehydration and bonus helps to keep kidneys functioning well to avoid high creatinine levels that can be dangerous), Aloxi (anti-nausea, blocks signals from stomach), Gemcitabine (chemo agent #2), Emend (blocks nausea and vomiting signals from the brain). ...
admit, I also put off the surgery because over the last few years, I had so much surgery, I was all “surgery’d out.” In addition to chemo brain, I am now dealing with the general anesthesia brain fog. Oh Joy. I just love it when I can’t spit a word out or remember ...
The capuchin monkey (Cebus apella) was chosen for this study due to its similarity with the most intensively studiedMacacamonkey.Cebusexhibits brain and body sizes comparable with those of several species of macaque monkeys, reducing possible allometric differences. In addition, the pattern of cortical...
transporters are not well known, they are expressed constitutively in not only tumor cells but also normal cells in the digestive system including the small intestine, large intestine, liver, and pancreas; epithelial cells in the kidneys, adrenals, brain, and testes; and endothelial cells (Table...
We observed hM3Dq-mCherry expression in a wide variety of cell types throughout the brain (Figure 2). Next we used cell-type-specific drivers to test whether our alleles can direct somatodendritic localization of hM3Dq-mCherry in restricted cell populations. We used RC::L-hM3Dq in ...
In the metastatic situation, promising results were reported for the combination of the EGFR/HER2 inhibitor lapatinib and RT for brain metastases derived from HER2-positive breast cancer. Several retrospective studies further point towards enhanced survival and, especially for the use of stereotactic radi...
There is always something else to rattle my brain and make me shake all the way to my “argyle socks’, if I had any. I’ve had another CA 125 (the cancer marker blood test) after my second ‘Doxil’ chemo to find out how it is working. Well, the Hawaiian Punch carried NO punch...
