A. SIGNIFICANCE: Lack of knowledge of the key molecular players and signaling pathways is a critical barrier to the progress of understanding the role of new protein synthesis in specific components of neural circuitry for establishing long-term memories. The proposed project addresses this important problem by employing a multidisciplinary approach in which we systematically combine tools of imaging, state of the art genomics and bioinformatics, molecular biology, functional analysis and…

Individuals with APD have difficulty understanding speech in the present of normal hearing. Central Auditory Processing (CAP) is how efficient and effective your central nervous system utilizes auditory information, and the neurobiological activity that underlies that…

This disease is often found when a person is going to the doctor for a routine checkup; their labs usually show an increased amount of blood cells of all types. The patient’s hemoglobin the day of clinical was 8.8; his platelets were 641.

The kidneys produce erythropoietin; these are what generates…

Vinorelbine also known as Navelbine® is an anti-cancer chemotherapy drug. It belongs to a class of chemotherapy drugs called vinca-alkaloids; which can be categorised as spindle poisons1. Vinorelbine and Vindesine are semi-synthetic derivatives from the first generation of vinca-alkaloids; Vinblastine and Vincristine2. These original vinca-alkaloids were derived from dried leaves of the Madagascan periwinkle (vinca rosea) plant1. Madagascar periwinkle is also used in the treatment for diabetes,…
