(Hindawi; PubMed Central, 2015-04-01)Multiple sclerosis (MS) is the autoimmune disease of the central nervous system with complex pathogenesis, different clinical courses and recurrent neurological relapses and/or progression. Despite various scientific papers ... -
Half a century of research on diatoms in athalassic habitats in central Poland
Żelazna-Wieczorek, Joanna
; ; (De Gruyter, 2015-03)
Part of the geology in the Łódź province was formed during the Upper Permian period when rich Zechstein salt was deposited. Groundwater drains the deposits and flows out in the village of Pełczyska, creating a unique ... -
The evaluation of the impact of titania nanotube covers morphology and crystal phase on their biological properties
(Springer, 2015-03-20)The highly ordered titanium dioxide nanotube coatings were produced under various electrochemical conditions on the surface of titanium foil. The anodization voltage changes proved to be a main factor which directly affects ... -
Elevated Level of DNA Damage and Impaired Repair of Oxidative DNA Damage in Patients with Recurrent Depressive Disorder
(International Scientific Information, 2015-02-06)Background: Depressive disorder (DD), including recurrent DD (rDD), is a severe psychological disease, which affects a large percentage of the world population. Although pathogenesis of the disease is not known, a growing ... -
Shortening day length as a previously unrecognized selective pressure for early breeding in a bird with long parental care
; ; Podlaszczuk, Patrycja; ; ; (Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2014-11-23)
Several different selective pressures have been suggested to explain an intense competition for early return to breeding grounds in birds. In this study we hypothesized that shortening day length during summer months ... -
