Cortical interneurons, immunoreactive for neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) and the receptor NK1, express the functional activity marker Fos selectively during sleep. NREM sleep ‘pressure’ is hypothesized to accumulate...

The current session demonstrates the use of wireless technologies for monitoring several physiological variables in freely moving rodents, and reviews advances in analytical techniques for the detection of adenosine which…

Data from two of three biological replicate proteomes, emphasized here, were analyzed using five search engines, which enhanced identifications and resulted in the most comprehensive P. vivax proteomes to date.

Direct compression and dry granulation tableting techniques were evaluated using factorial experimental design.

Methods for identifying and understanding brain structure–function relations have evolved over the past century, from astute observations of selective impairments associated with focal brain damage to dissociations measured by combining…

Here we present a method that reduces amplification bias by addition of a plasmid that encodes six low abundance tRNAs into K91 Escherichia coli.

Background Alcohol’s effect on sleep electroencephalogram (EEG) power spectra during late adolescence is of interest given that this age group shows both dramatic increases in alcohol consumption and major sleep-related…

This article reviews the literature on the characteristics of, and contributing factors to, subjectively and objectively measured sleep during the menstrual cycle, pregnancy, and post-partum period, as well as the…

Here, we review the existing assays and platforms employed for HPV diagnosis, and highlight recent advances in nanotechnology and microfluidics that potentially enable new approaches for HPV diagnosis.

This chapter highlights the financial and psychological impact of haematophagous insects in urban environments, using bedbugs as an example. The utility of strategies for vector control in the management of…

Here we present a nanoparticle delivery system that facilitates presentation of an immunogenic measles antigen specifically in cancer cells.

Here we show that adding sodium nitrite to cobinamide yields a stable derivative that rescues cyanide-poisoned mice and rabbits when given by intramuscular injection.
