Comparison of a New Cobinamide-Based Method to a Standard Laboratory Method for Measuring Cyanide in Human Blood
The authors developed and validated a method to quantify cyanide based on the high binding affinity of the vitamin B12 analog, cobinamide, for cyanide and a major spectral change observed…

The Association between Postload Plasma Glucose Levels and 38-Year Mortality Risk of Coronary Heart Disease: The Prospective NHLBI Twin Study
We aimed to evaluate whether the association between postload plasma glucose levels (ppGlucose) and long-term risk of mortality from coronary heart disease was independent of or attributable to genes and…

Potential Reporting Bias in fMRI Studies of the Brain
Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies have reported multiple activation foci associated with a variety of conditions, stimuli or tasks.

Carbon-14 Labeling of K777
The antitrypanosomal agent K777•HCl was labeled with carbon-14 to support absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion studies of this potential new drug for the treatment of Chagas disease.

First Measurement of the BO B2Σ+ Radiative Lifetime by Laser-Induced Fluorescence Via the B2Σ+–X2Σ+ Transition
Observation of the temporal evolution of the fluorescence following laser excitation of boron monoxide molecules to the B 2Σ+ state is used to extract the radiative lifetime and collisional removal rate constant with…

Longitudinal Analysis of the Electroencephalogram and Sleep Phenotype in the R6/2 Mouse Model of Huntington’s Disease
We conducted a longitudinal characterization of sleep/wake and electroencephalographic activity in the R6/2 mouse model of Huntington’s disease to determine whether analogous electroencephalographic ‘signatures’ could be identified early in disease…

Interleukin-6 Gene Polymorphism (−174 G/C) is Associated with Toxoplasmic Retinochoroiditis
This study suggests that the genotypes related with a lower production of IL-6 may be associated with the occurrence of TR.

Importance of the Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor System in the Prefrontal Cortex
In this work we review, in light of the latest findings, how nicotinic agonists may be acting in the PFC to influence cognitive function.

In Vivo Measurement of Aldehyde Dehydrogenase-2 Activity in Rat Liver Ethanol Model Using Dynamic MRSI of Hyperpolarized [1-(13) C] Pyruvate
In this work, we show that dynamic MRSI of hyperpolarized pyruvate and its conversion to [1-13C]lactate can provide an indirect in vivo measurement of ALDH2 activity via the concentration of NADH.

Polysomnographic Validation of a Wireless Dry Headband Technology for Sleep Monitoring in Healthy Young Adults
The present study aimed to explore the validity and reliability of a wireless dry headband technology for sleep monitoring (WS), through a comparison with concurrent polysomnographic (PSG) recording in healthy…
