Retinal function assessment in alcohol use disorder patients
Ashdin Publishing (2019-02-06)Objective. Retinal injury induced by ethanol consumption has been previously reported in animal models, including biochemical, histological and functional alterations. These results need to be clinically tested in alcoholic ... -
Right Ventricular Dysfunction Staging System for Mortality Risk Stratifiction in Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction
MDPI (2020-03-18)Right ventricular dysfunction (RVD) parameters are increasingly important features in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). We sought to evaluate the prognostic impact of a progressive RVD staging system ... -
Risk Factors for Thyroid Dysfunction in Pregnancy: An Individual Participant Data Meta-Analysis
(2024)Background: International guidelines recommend targeted screening to identify gestational thyroid dysfunction. However, currently used risk factors have questionable discriminative ability. We quantified the risk for thyroid ... -

ROCK/Cdc42-mediated microglial motility and gliapse formation lead to phagocytosis of degenerating dopaminergic neurons in vivo
Nature Publishing Group (2012)The role of microglial motility in the context of adult neurodegeneration is poorly understood. In the present work, we investigated the microanatomical details of microglia-neuron interactions in an experimental ... -
Role of AMPA glutamate receptors in the conditioned rewarding effects of MDMA in mice
Elsevier (2018-07-16)Currently, there is not an effective treatment for 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) dependence but pharmacotherapies targeting glutamate neurotransmission are a promising strategy. Previously, we showed that blockade ... -
Role of Exosomal miR-205-5p Cargo in Angiogenesis and Cell Migration
Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI) (2024-01-11)Exosomes or small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) represent a pivotal component in intercellular communication, carrying a diverse array of biomolecules. Several factors can affect sEVs release dynamics, as occurs in ... -
Role of hippocampal NF-κB and GluN2B in the memory acquisition impairment of experiences gathered prior to cocaine administration in rats
Nature Research (2021-10-08)Cocaine can induce severe neurobehavioral changes, among others, the ones involved in learning and memory processes. It is known that during drug consumption, cocaine-associated memory and learning processes take place. ... -
Role of nitric oxide in pheromone-mediated intraspecific communication in mice
Elsevier (2009-12)Nitric oxide is known to take part in the control of sexual and agonistic behaviours. This is usually attributed to its role in neural transmission in the hypothalamus and other structures of the limbic system. However, ... -
Role of retinal pigment epithelium-derived exosomes and autophagy in new blood vessel formation
Wiley (2018-08)Autophagy and exosome secretion play important roles in a variety of physiological and disease states, including the development of age‐related macular degeneration. Previous studies have demonstrated that these cellular ... -
Role of the vomeronasal system in intersexual attraction in female mice
Elsevier (2008-05)Although it is generally accepted that rodents' sociosexual behavior relies mainly on chemosignals, the specific roles played by the vomeronasal and olfactory systems in detecting these signals are presently unclear. This ... -
Sacubitril/valsartan and short-term changes in the 6-minute walk test: A pilot study
Elsevier (2018-02)Background Impaired exercise capacity is the most disabling symptom in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). Despite sacubitril/valsartan showing reduced long-term morbidity and mortality ... -
