Design and validation of an In Vitro test bench for the investigation of cardiopulmonary resuscitation procedure

Author(s): El-Khoury A; Leroux L; Dupuis Desroches J; Di Labbio G; Kadem L;

Despite recent clinical and technological advancements, the cardiac arrest survival rate remains as low as 10%. To enhance patient outcomes, it is crucial to deepen the understanding of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) at a fundamental level. Currently, there is a lack of knowledge on the physiological effects of CPR, in particular on the hemodynamics ...

Neuroinflammation and oxidative redox imbalance drive memory dysfunction in adolescent rats prenatally exposed to Datura Stramonium

Author(s): Bamisi O; Oluwalabani AO; Arogundade TT; Olajide OJ;

Although there have been reports indicating that Datura Stramonium (D. stramonium) may induce anticholinergic and neuropsychiatry effects, the compound is still being used for recreational and medicinal purposes while ingestion during pregnancy has been documented. Intriguingly, minimal studies have investigated the potential neurotoxic impact of D. stram ...

Adiposity and cardiac autonomic function in children with a family history of obesity

Author(s): Saade MB; Holden S; Kakinami L; McGrath JJ; Mathieu MÈ; Poirier P; Barnett TA; Beaucage P; Henderson M;

Purpose: Data on associations between adiposity and heart rate variability (HRV) in prepubertal children are limited. We examined the associations between adiposity indices and HRV, independent of lifestyle behaviors, comparing multiple indicators of adiposity, and explored differences between bo ...

Perceptions of carbon dioxide emission reductions and future warming among climate experts

Author(s): Wynes S; Davis SJ; Dickau M; Ly S; Maibach E; Rogelj J; Zickfeld K; Matthews HD;

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) employs emission scenarios to explore a range of future climate outcomes but refrains from assigning probabilities to individual scenarios. However, IPCC authors have their own views on the likelihood of different climate outcomes, which are valuable to understand because authors possess both expert ins ...

Prototype Facial Response to Cute Stimuli: Expression and Recognition

Author(s): O' Neil MJ; Danvers AF; Hu JI; Shiota MN;

Cute, kindchenschema stimuli can evoke a suite of cognitive, physiological, and behavioral tendencies thought to promote caregiving. This research investigated facial expression elements associated with this response to cuteness and assessed the recognizability of an expression combining these elements. In Studies 1 and 2, participants at a community outr ...

Emerging hazardous chemicals and biological pollutants in Canadian aquatic systems and remediation approaches: A comprehensive status report

Author(s): Adeola AO; Paramo L; Fuoco G; Naccache R;

Emerging contaminants can be natural or synthetic materials, as well as materials of a chemical, or biological origin; these materials are typically not controlled or monitored in the environment. Canada is home to nearly 7 % of the world's renewable water supply and a wide range of different kinds of water systems, including the Great Lake, rivers, c ...

A Humanized Yeast Model for Studying TRAPP Complex Mutations; Proof-of-Concept Using Variants from an Individual with a TRAPPC1-Associated Neurodevelopmental Syndrome

Author(s): Zykaj E; Abboud C; Asadi P; Warsame S; Almousa H; Milev MP; Greco BM; López-Sánchez M; Bratkovic D; Kachroo AH; Pérez-Jurado LA; Sacher M;

Variants in membrane trafficking proteins are known to cause rare disorders with severe symptoms. The highly conserved transport protein particle (TRAPP) complexes are key membrane trafficking regulators that are also involved in autophagy. Pathogenic genetic variants in specific TRAPP subunits a ...

SpeechBrain-MOABB: An open-source Python library for benchmarking deep neural networks applied to EEG signals

Author(s): Borra D; Paissan F; Ravanelli M;

Deep learning has revolutionized EEG decoding, showcasing its ability to outperform traditional machine learning models. However, unlike other fields, EEG decoding lacks comprehensive open-source libraries dedicated to neural networks. Existing tools (MOABB and braindecode) prevent the creation of robust and complete decoding pipelines, as they lack suppo ...

Comparative genomic analysis of thermophilic fungi reveals convergent evolutionary adaptations and gene losses

Author(s): Steindorff AS; Aguilar-Pontes MV; Robinson AJ; Andreopoulos B; LaButti K; Kuo A; Mondo S; Riley R; Otillar R; Haridas S; Lipzen A; Grimwood J; Schmutz J; Clum A; Reid ID; Moisan MC; Butler G; Nguyen TTM; Dewar K; Conant G; Drula E; Henri ...

Thermophily is a trait scattered across the fungal tree of life, with its highest prevalence within three fungal families (Chaetomiaceae, Thermoascaceae, and Trichocomaceae), as well as some members of the phylum Mucoromycota. We examined 37 thermophilic and thermotolerant species and 42 mesophil ...

Electrochemical Nitrate Reduction to Ammonia on AuCu Single-atom Alloy Aerogels under Wide Potential Window

Author(s): Yu J; Gao RT; Guo X; Nguyen NT; Wu L; Wang L;

Electrocatalytic nitrate reduction to ammonia (NO3RR) is very attractive for nitrate removal and ammonia production in industrial processes. However, the nitrate reduction reaction is characterized by intense hydrogen competition at strong reduction potentials, which greatly limits the Faraday efficiency at strong reduction potentials. Herein, we reported ...

Exploring the glycoprotein washing fluid-assisted cleanup for the restoration of oil-contaminated shorelines with environmental integrity

Author(s): Sui J; Yue R; Bi H; Fu H; Yang A; Wang M; An C;

Spilled oil in ocean can spread to the shoreline and cause long-term impacts on the shoreline's ecological environment. Therefore, removing oil accumulated on shorelines is crucial. This study proposed an innovative ovalbumin (OVA) fluid-assisted method for the cleanup of oiled shoreline substrates. The oil removal efficiency of OVA fluids was systema ...
