How vanadium and manganese compounds impact cardiac mitochondrial function by Connor C. Dolan, Luke A. Whitcomb, Edgar Del Carpio, Edgar Del Carpio, Lilliana Rose, Adam J. Chicco, Debbie C. Crans, Debbie C. Crans

“…Many studies have indicated that these metals elicit their effects in part by influencing mitochondrial function, with potential variations due to their redox properties and complexation.MethodsTo better understand these relationships, we investigated the effects of vanadium and manganese salts (VIVOSO4, NaVVO3, MnIICl2) and acetoacetate (Hacac) complexes (VIVO(acac)2 and MnII(acac)2) on murine cardiac mitochondrial function. …”

Fear-avoidance beliefs are associated with changes of back shape and function by Nima Taheri, Luis Becker, Lena Fleig, Karolina Kolodziejczak, Lea Cordes, Bernhard U. Hoehl, Ulrike Grittner, Lukas Mödl, Hendrik Schmidt, Matthias Pumberger

“…This may be attributed to the different assessment methods (objective vs self-report), resulting in reduced common method variance. In addition to the FAB, there may be other factors (eg, altered neuronal pathways; actual avoidance behavior such as reduced physical activity) that contribute to functional impairment.…”

Mildronate effects on cognitive function in elderly patients with arterial hypertension by S. V. Nedogoda, M. E. Statsenko, S. V. Turkina, I. A. Tyshchenko, L. V. Poletaeva, V. V. Tsoma, A. A. Ledyaeva, E. N. Chumachok, O. L. Bykova

“…However, the “interval” Mildronate treatment was more beneficial than the “persistent” therapy, as the former was also linked to a significant improvement in attention and speech MMSE domain, reduction in the time of memorising 10 words and performing Reiten test, improvement in delayed memorisation, and increased mean score in Wechsler test. Conclusion. Additional treatment with Mildronate (500 mg/d), as both “interval” and “persistent” therapy, was associated with preserved cognitive and mnestic functions in elderly AH patients.…”
