Inhibition or Treatment of Dyskinesia
(2006-08-24)Prevention or treatment of dyskinesia induced by L-dopa or dopamine agonist can be effected by use of a selective inhibitor of neuronal nitric oxide synthase -
Inhibition-Related Cortical Hypoconnectivity as a Candidate Vulnerability Marker for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder
(2020-02)BACKGROUND: Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a prevalent neuropsychiatric condition, with biological models implicating disruption of cortically mediated inhibitory control pathways, ordinarily serving to regulate ... -
Inhibitors of multidrug resistance (MDR) have affinity for MDR substrates
(2004-02-23)Multidrug-resistance (MDR) occurs in many bacterial species and tumour cells. MDR functions by membrane proteins which export drugs from cells, resulting in a low ineffective concentration of the drug. We have shown by ... -
The inhibitory effect of 6-gingerol and cisplatin on ovarian cancer and antitumor activity: In silico, in vitro, and in vivo
(2023-03-03)Background: Epithelial ovarian cancer is very common in women and causes hundreds of deaths per year worldwide. Chemotherapy drugs including cisplatin have adverse effects on patients’ health. Complementary treatments and ... -
Inhibitory effect of tungsten carbide nanoparticles on voltage-gated potassium currents of hippocampal CA1 neurons
(2012-03-07)The effects of tungsten carbide nanoparticles (nano-WC) on the properties of voltage-dependent potassium currents and evoked action potentials were studied in the hippocampal CA1 pyramidal neurons of rats at the ages of ... -
The inhibitory effects of nano-Ag on voltage-gated potassium currents of hippocampal CA1 neurons
(2011-10)The application of the nano-sized materials continues to grow at a rapid rate in the fields of medicine, biotechnology, and environmental technology. Voltage-gated potassium currents play a key role in excitable cellular ... -
Inhibitory Synaptic Plasticity and Gain Modulation in Cerebellar Nucleus Neurons
(2016-05-17)Neurons can encode information using the rate of their action potentials, making the relation between input rate and output rate a prominent feature of neuronal information processing. This relation, known as I-O function, ... -
Inhomogeneous Enrichment of Radioactive Nuclei in the Galaxy: Deposition of Live 53 Mn, 60 Fe, 182 Hf, and 244 Pu into Deep-sea Archives. Surfing the Wave?
(2023-02-16)While modeling the galactic chemical evolution (GCE) of stable elements provides insights to the formation history of the Galaxy and the relative contributions of nucleosynthesis sites, modeling the evolution of short-lived ... -
The initial conditions of high-mass star formation : radiative transfer models of IRDCs seen in the Herschel Hi-GAL survey
(2011)The densest infrared dark clouds (IRDCs) may represent the earliest observable stage of high-mass star formation. These clouds are very cold, hence they emit mainly at far-infrared and sub-mm wavelengths. For the first ... -
The Initial Conditions of Stellar Protocluster Formation : III. The Herschel counterparts of the Spitzer Dark Cloud catalogue
(2016-06-01)Galactic plane surveys of pristine molecular clouds are key for establishing a Galactic-scale view of the earliest stages of star formation. For this reason Peretto & Fuller (2009) built an unbiased sample of IRDCs in the ... -
Initial Data Release from the INT Photometric H-alpha Survey of the Northern Galactic Plane (IPHAS)
(2008)The INT/WFC Photometric Hα Survey of the Northern Galactic Plane (IPHAS) is an imaging survey being carried out in Hα, r′ and i′ filters, with the Wide Field Camera (WFC) on the 2.5-m Isaac Newton Telescope (INT) to a depth ... -
Initial data release of the Kepler-INT survey
(2012-07)This paper describes the first data release of the Kepler-INT Survey (KIS) that covers a 116 deg(2) region of the Cygnus and Lyra constellations. The Kepler field is the target of the most intensive search for transiting ... -
Initial Design, Implementation and Technical Evaluation of a Context-aware Proxemics Planner for a Social Robot
(Springer Nature, 2017-10-24)Home Companion Robots need to be able to support users in their daily living activities and to be socially adaptive. They should take account of users’ individual preferences, environments and social situations in order ... -
Initial evaluations of a robot mobility aid for frail and elderly visually impaired persons
(IOS Press, 1999)The Personal Adaptive Mobility Aid (PAM-AID) is an intelligent, indoor mobility aid for frail and elderly visually impaired persons which will provide both physical and navigational support For walking. The objective is ... -
