Geriatric support in the emergency department: a national survey in Belgium
Abstract Background Older people in the emergency department (ED) represent a growing population and increasing proportion of the workload in the ED. This study investigated the... -
The evolutionarily conserved transcription factor PRDM12 controls sensory neu...
PR homology domain-containing member 12 (PRDM12) belongs to a family of conserved transcription factors implicated in cell fate decisions. Here we show that PRDM12 is a key... -
Energy flow in light-coupling masks for lensless optical lithography
We illustrate the propagation of light in a new type of coupling mask for lensless optical lithography. Our investigation shows how the different elements comprising such masks... -
Non-associative versus associative learning by foraging predatory mites
Abstract Background Learning processes can be broadly categorized into associative and non-associative. Associative learning occurs through the pairing of two previously... -
The ECOUTER methodology for stakeholder engagement in translational research
Abstract Background Because no single person or group holds knowledge about all aspects of research, mechanisms are needed to support knowledge exchange and engagement.... -
No place for /h/: an ERP investigation of English fricative place features
The representational format of speech units in long-term memory is a topic of debate. We present novel event-related brain potential evidence from the Mismatch Negativity (MMN)... -
Ketamine-induced apoptosis in the mouse cerebral cortex follows similar chara...
Abstract The effects of general anesthetics on inducing neuronal apoptosis during early brain development are well-documented. However, since physiological apoptosis also occurs... -
Neural hyperactivity in the amygdala induced by chronic treatment of rats wit...
Abstract Background Patients with medication-overuse headache suffer not only from chronic headache, but often from psychiatric comorbidities, such as anxiety and depression.... -
Paternal personality and social status influence offspring activity in zebrafish
Abstract Background Evidence for the transmission of non-genetic information from father to offspring is rapidly accumulating. While the impact of chemical and physical factors... -
Is being a regular player with fewer teammates associated with musculoskeleta...
Abstract Background Musculoskeletal pain (MSP) is a commonly reported symptom in youth sports players. Some sports-related risk factors have been reported, but previous studies... -
New inducible promoter for gene expression and synthetic biology in Yarrowia ...
Abstract Background The oleaginous yeast Yarrowia lipolytica is increasingly used as alternative cell factory for the production of recombinant proteins. At present, several... -
Postnatal treatment using curcumin supplements to amend the damage in VPA-ind...
Abstract Background Valproic acid (VPA) is used as a first-line antiepileptic agent and is undergoing clinical trials for use as a treatment for many disorders. Mothers... -
A CLCA regulatory protein present in the chemosensory cilia of olfactory sens...
Abstract Background CLCA is a family of metalloproteases that regulate Ca2+-activated Cl− fluxes in epithelial tissues. In HEK293 cells, CLCA1 promotes membrane expression of an... -
A novel system for tracking social preference dynamics in mice reveals sex- a...
Abstract Background Deciphering the biological mechanisms underlying social behavior in animal models requires standard behavioral paradigms that can be unbiasedly employed in... -
Statistics of Primes (and Probably Twin Primes) Satisfy Taylor's Law from Eco...
Taylor's law, which originated in ecology, states that, in sets of measurements of population density, the sample variance is approximately proportional to a power of the sample... -
Olfactory coding from the periphery to higher brain centers in the Drosophila...
Abstract Background Odor information is processed through multiple receptor-glomerular channels in the first order olfactory center, the antennal lobe (AL), then reformatted... -
You are what you eat: diet shapes body composition, personality and behaviour...
Abstract Background Behavioural phenotypes vary within and among individuals. While early-life experiences have repeatedly been proposed to underpin interactions between these... -
Enhancement of Electrochemical Performance by the Oxygen Vacancies in Hematit...
Abstract The application of hematite in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) has been severely limited because of its poor cycling stability and rate performance. To solve this problem,... -
Competition and solidarity: union members and immigration in Europe
This article addresses an understudied question in the comparative political economy of migration. How have trade unions shaped the attitudes of their members toward... -
