Abstract Selecting appropriate defensive behaviours for threats approaching the space surrounding the body (peripersonal space, PPS) is crucial for survival.The extent of defensive PPS is measured by recording the hand-blink reflex (HBR), a subcortical defensive response.Higher-order cortical areas involved in PPS Bundle representation exert top-do

Objective: Helicobacter pylori (H.pylori) cytotoxin and its heterogeneity amongst strains hasbeen closely linked to the varying infection-associated clinical outcomes.In order to determinethe decisive role of the vacuolating cytotoxin (vacA) gene mosaicism in its corresponding geneexpression and phenotype, we aimed to characterize vacA alleles of d

Despite its many benefits, there are several potentially significant complications inherent to chest tube insertion (CTI), a commonly used invasive procedure to evacuate air or fluid from the pleural space.The average rate of complications following CTI ranges from 5% to 10%, whereas insertion-related complications are rare.Here, we present the cas

Nutrition BLOND STUDIO MAJIMECHES STEP 2 during the perinatal period programs body growth.Growth hormone (GH) secretion from the pituitary regulates body growth and is controlled by Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone (GHRH) neurons located in the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus.We observed that dietary restriction during the early postnatal perio
