METHOD FOR DETERMINING THE UPPER LIMIT OF CEREBRAL AUTOREGULATION IN RATS by A. V. Voronkov, A. S. Lysenko

“…As a result of the experiment on male rats, a valid method was developed for determining the blood pressure value at the highest point of “breakdown” of cerebral hemodynamics autoregulation and it was established that nicergoline shifts the functioning limit of the autoregulation phenomenon to higher values.…”

New Laguerre-polynomials’ generating functions derived by virtue of operator Hermite-polynomial method and entangled state representation by Ke Zhang, Hong-Yi Fan

“…In this paper, we derive two new generating functions of Laguerre-polynomials, which look like the negative binomial theorem for the Laguerre function Lnx, by adopting the bi-partite entangled state representation and the operator-Hermite-polynomial HnX method, where X is the coordinate operator. …”

Investigation and functional characterization of rare genetic variants in the adipose triglyceride lipase in a large healthy working population. by Stefan Coassin, Martina Schweiger, Anita Kloss-Brandstätter, Claudia Lamina, Margot Haun, Gertraud Erhart, Bernhard Paulweber, Yusof Rahman, Simon Olpin, Heimo Wolinski, Irina Cornaciu, Rudolf Zechner, Robert Zimmermann, Florian Kronenberg

“…About one-quarter (3 out of 13) of the investigated variants presented a marked decrease or total loss of catalytic function. Genetic association studies using both continuous and dichotomous approaches showed a shift towards lower plasma FFA concentrations for rare variant carriers and an accumulation of variants in the lower 10%-quantile of the FFA distribution. …”

Predicting long-term functional anti-VEGF treatment outcomes in neovascular AMD in a real-world setting. by Isabel B Pfister, Christin Schild, Justus G Garweg

“…<h4>Conclusions</h4>In this large retrospective cohort, the presence of MA after one year was the strongest predictor of VA after 2 to 5 years, explaining a vision loss of 13 to 20 letters. The presence of IRF and SRF at any point of time had a comparably weak predictive potential for the outcomes over 5 and more years.…”
