Impact of high-performance sport on serum potassium values in athletes: a syste...

Background: Potassium is an alkali metal and the most abundant cation in the body, which can be measured in serum, plasma, whole blood, and urine without preservatives. The release of potassium from the muscles into the bloodstream during intense exercise is related to the intensity of physical activity. Therefore, changes in the serum levels of potassium measured in the blood of individuals who practice sports...

Impact of high-performance sport on serum potassium values in athletes: a syste...

Potassium (K+) is a critical alkali metal and the most abundant cation in the body, primarily found inside cells. It's measurable in serum, plasma, whole blood, and urine. During intense exercise, potassium is released from muscles into the bloodstream, with levels related to exercise intensity. Potassium is essential for cell polarization and transmitting electrical impulses in the heart, so fluctuations in se...

Neuropsychological features of progranulin-associated frontotemporal dementia: ...

The distinction between sporadic and genetic behavioural-variant frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD) regarding some neuropsychological (NP) features remains challenging. Specifically, progranulin (GRN)-associated bvFTD frequently presents with early episodic memory impairment and some degree of parietal dysfunction which are supporters of Alzheimer's disease (AD) diagnosis. In this context, we aimed to characterize...

Erlangen Score as a tool to predict progression from mild cognitive impairment ...

Background: The previously described and validated Erlangen Score (ES) algorithm enables interpretation of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), ordering them on an ordinal scale: from neurochemically normal (ES = 0) through improbable AD (ES = 1), possible AD (ES = 2 or 3), to probable AD (ES = 4). Here we assess the accuracy of the ES in predicting hazards of progression from t...

Lower CSF Amyloid-Beta1-42 Predicts a Higher Mortality Rate in Frontotemporal D...

Frontotemporal lobar degeneration, the neuropathological substrate of frontotemporal dementia (FTD), is characterized by the deposition of protein aggregates, including tau. Evidence has shown concomitant amyloid pathology in some of these patients, which seems to contribute to a more aggressive disease. Our aim was to evaluate cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) amyloid-beta as a predictor of the mortality of FTD patien...

Polarity specific effects of cross-hemispheric tDCS coupled with approach-avoid...

Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) over the Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex (DLPFC) has already been shown to decrease craving for food. However, it remains unclear whether a single session of tDCS combined with a cognitive bias modification (CBM) task may affect explicit and implicit measures of craving for chocolate. Fifty-one healthy volunteers (38 females; mean age: 22.12 +/- 3.38) were randomly ...
