RAPID EYE MOVEMENTS DURING SLEEP IN MICE: HIGH TRAIT-LIKE STABILITY QUALIFIES RAPID EYE MOVEMENT DENSITY FOR CHARACTERIZATION OF PHENOTYPIC VARIATION IN SLEEP PATTERNS OF RODENTS

Abstract Background In humans, rapid eye movements (REM) density during REM sleep plays a prominent role in psychiatric diseases.Especially in depression, an increased REM density is a vulnerability marker for depression.In clinical practice and research measurement of REM density is highly standardized.In basic animal research, almost no tools are

An energy transition is needed in order to meet the European pledge of reaching climate neutrality by 2050.This transition cannot ignore the renewable resources available from 70% of the Earth (namely, the oceans and seas).This concept is fundamental for the planet, especially for the Mediterranean area.Marine renewable energies are still under-dep

Background: Somatostatin has an inhibitory effect on the endocrine and exocrine secretions of the gut.It may have a beneficial effect in the conservative treatment of intestinal obstruction.The aim of the present study is to investigate the effect of octreotide in mechanical intestinal obstruction in rats.Method: Intestinal obstruction was induced

At present, research on prefabricated piers is limited to the axial compression state.However, many piers are under small eccentric compression in practical engineering.In this article, the seismic performance of ultrahigh performance concrete (UHPC)-grouted corrugated pipe-connected piers under small eccentric compression was studied.A pseudostati
