The period around puberty is a critical window in development. It is a time of neuroendocrine and neuroanatomical lability, rendering individuals highly sensitive to stress. Indeed, early adversity increases risk for psychopathology. The mechanisms via whi ...
Background: Patients who experience severe brain injuries are at risk of secondary brain damage, because of delayed vasospasm and edema. Traditionally, many of these patients are kept on prolonged bed rest in order to maintain adequate cerebral blood flow, ...
Background: Orthostatic hypotension (OH) in Parkinson's disease (PD) is frequent and associated with impairments in quality of life and reduced activities of daily living. Abdominal binders (AB) and compression stockings (CS) have been shown to be effectiv ...
Aortic compliance is an important determinant of cardiac afterload and a contributor to cardiovascular morbidity. In the present study, we sought to provide in silico insights into the acute as well as long-term effects of aortic compliance decrease on cen ...
Background Hemangioblastomas (HBL) are benign tumors occurring sporadically or associated with Von Hippel-Lindau syndrome (VHL). Method We present the pre-, per-, and postoperative course of a rare case with radicular HBL presenting with subarachnoid hemor ...

Human pleural mesothelioma is an incurable and chemoresistant cancer. Using a nude mouse xenograft model of human pleural mesothelioma, we show that RAPTA-T, a compound undergoing preclinical evaluation, enhances tumor vascular function by decreasing blood ...
The significance of matricellular proteins during development and cancer progression is widely recognized. However, how these proteins actively contribute to physiological development and pathological cancer progression is only partially elucidated. In thi ...
The human annotations are imperfect, especially when produced by junior practitioners. Multi-expert consensus is usually regarded as golden standard, while this annotation protocol is too expensive to implement in many real-world projects. In this study, w ...
The severe social and economic burden of stroke is a strong motivation for the exploration of innovative medical approaches. In this context, magnetic resonance (MR) of hyperpolarized (HP) molecular agents via dissolution dynamic nuclear polarization (dDNP ...
