Constitutively active microglial populations limit anorexia induced by the food contaminant deoxynivalenol
Abstract Microglia are involved in neuroinflammatory processes during diverse pathophysiological conditions.To date, the possible contribution of these cells to deoxynivalenol (DON)-induced brain inflammation and anorexia has not yet been evaluated.DON, one of the most abundant trichothecenes found in cereals, has been implicated in mycotoxicosis i
Design and Economic Analysis of a Photovoltaic System: A Case Study
This paper presents the design analysis of a photovoltaic (PV) system to power the CAD/CAM Laboratory at the Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Port Harcourt.Life cycle cost and break-even point analyses are 6 also carried out to assess the economic viability of the system.The unit cost of electricity for the designed PV system is
Proposal of a Quantitative Assessment Method for Viewpoint Geosites
The evaluation of viewpoint geosites is a recent topic in geosciences, as Springform Pans most works deal with a more general analysis of places and areas, but this one deals with something more specific.Therefore, the general objective of this paper is to propose a method for evaluating viewpoints, based on the assumption that it is necessary to u
The significance of sperm heads and tails within the vasal fluid during vasectomy reversal
Introduction: The finding of only sperm heads and/or short tails (SHST) during vasectomy reversal (VR) creates a difficult decision for the best method of vasal reconstruction, i.e.vasovasostomy (VV) or epididymovasostomy (EV).Using outcome analyses, we report the impact of SHST alone and combined with qualitative analysis of gross fluid quality in
