BackgroundToxoplasma gondii, a cosmopolitan protozoan parasite causes toxoplasmosis in humans and many species of domestic and wild animals.T.gondii instigates significant economic losses in sheep and goat farming industry and can lead to abortion, stillbirth, congenital malformations and neonatal losses.The objective of this protocol is to evaluat
Neural anomalies during vigilance in schizophrenia: Diagnostic specificity and genetic associations
Impaired vigilance is a core cognitive deficit in schizophrenia and may serve as an endophenotype (i.e., mark genetic liability).We used a continuous performance task with perceptually degraded stimuli in schizophrenia patients (N = 48), bipolar disorder patients (N = 26), first-degree biological relatives of schizophrenia patients (N = 55) and bip
Algal Polysaccharides-Based Nanomaterials: General Aspects and Potential Applications in Food and Biomedical Fields
The use of natural polymers has increased due to concern about environmental pollution caused by plastics and emerging pollutants from fossil fuels.In this context, polysaccharides from macroalgae and microalgae arise as natural and Building Set abundant resources for various biological, biomedical, and food applications.Different nanomaterials are
