TL;DR: The significant cognitive enhancement observed in adult mice after short-term i.p. supplementation with the blueberry extract concentrated in polyphenols, is closely related to higher brain antioxidant properties and inhibition of AChE activity.

TL;DR: After controlling for BMI-related effects, adiponectin levels seem to be lower in women with PCOS compared with non-PCOS controls, and low levels of adiponECTin in PCOS are probably related to IR but not to testosterone.
Abstract: results: Women with PCOS demonstrated significantly lower adiponectin values (weighted mean difference (95% confidence interval) 21.71 (22.82 to 20.6), P , 10 24 ), yet with significant between-study heterogeneity. Lower adiponectin levels are associated with the IR observed in women with PCOS, compared with controls. IR, but not total testosterone, was found significant among biological parameters explored in the meta-regression model. Hypoadiponectinaemia was present in both lean and obese women with PCOS when compared with non-PCOS counterparts. Data on high molecular weight (HMW) adiponectin are limited (three studies). conclusions: After controlling for BMI-related effects, adiponectin levels seem to be lower in women with PCOS compared with non- PCOS controls. Low levels of adiponectin in PCOS are probably related to IR but not to testosterone. Total adiponectin should not be used as a biomarker of PCOS severity. Further investigation is needed for HMW adiponectin levels in PCOS.

TL;DR: A unified view of algorithms for adaptive transversal FIR filtering and system identification has been presented, and the LMS algorithm and its offspring have been presented and interpreted as stochastic approximations of iterative deterministic steepest descent optimization schemes.
Abstract: A unified view of algorithms for adaptive transversal FIR filtering and system identification has been presented. Wiener filtering and stochastic approximation are the origins from which all the algorithms have been derived, via a suitable choice of iterative optimization schemes and appropriate design parameters. Following this philosophy, the LMS algorithm and its offspring have been presented and interpreted as stochastic approximations of iterative deterministic steepest descent optimization schemes. On the other hand, the RLS and the quasi-RLS algorithms, like the quasi-Newton, the FNTN, and the affine projection algorithm, have been derived as stochastic approximations of iterative deterministic Newton and quasi-Newton methods. Fast implementations of these methods have been discussed. Block-adaptive, and block-exact adaptive filtering have also been considered. The performance of the adaptive algorithms has been demonstrated by computer simulations.

TL;DR: The hypothesis that a systemic inflammatory reaction takes place after the use of cardiopulmonary bypass, could explain most of these effects influences in the lung.
Abstract: Background: It is well known by now that during open heart surgery many detrimental factors are involved in lung injury. The influence mainly of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), anesthesia, hypothermia, operation itself, as well as medication and transfusion, can cause a diffuse injury in the lungs, which most often leads to a postoperative pulmonary edema and abnormal gas exchange. Methods: We performed an unrestricted search of Pubmed Medline and EMBASE from 1966 through 2008. Clinical, experimental, basic science, and review papers were included. Results: The hypothesis that a systemic inflammatory reaction takes place after the use of CPB, could explain most of these effects influences in the lung. On the other hand, the release of various pro-inflammatory cytokines like TNF-a, IL-1, IL-2, IL-6, IL-8, and endotoxin during CPB can lead to the entrapment of neutrophils in the pulmonary capillaries. Consequently, the following chain of reactions is likely to occur: an endothelial cell swelling, plasma and protein extravasation into the interstitial tissue, release of proteolytic enzymes, congestion of the alveoli with plasma, erythrocytes and inflammatory debris. Conclusion: In this review we highlight the possible pathophysiological mechanisms implicated in the observed postoperative lung dysfunction.(J Card Surg 2010;25:47-55)
