To systematically evaluate the general efficacy of nape acupuncture combined with rehabilitation training for the treatment of post-stroke dysphagia and in the recovery of swallowing function.

Oxidative stress is an important mechanism of cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury. Ferroptosis caused by iron overload after cerebral ischemia-reperfusion is considered a common cause of oxidative stress. A large number of recent studies have shown that electroacupuncture (EA) can regulate the expression of inflammatory factors, and the use of electroacupuncture preconditioning can produce a protective effect, which can reduce injury after cerebral ischemia and reperfusion. We aimed to assess ...

The principal research aim of iPLACENTA is to improve our ability to study, model and visualise the placenta. This will contribute to developing diagnostic tests and therapies for pregnancy complications such as preeclampsia and intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR). Placental defects are thought to be the cause of many major pregnancy complications, such as preeclampsia and intra-uterine growth restriction. Preeclampsia affects between 5 and 8 out of every 100 pregnant women and claims the lives ...

The Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) is the self-governing organisation for science and research in Germany. It serves all branches of science and the humanities. In organisational terms, the DFG is an association under private law. Its membership consists of German research universities, non-university research institutions, scientific associations and the Academies of Science and the Humanities.

This is research programme towards the production of a collection of Chapters for a book on thermodynamics, kinetics and systems biology that is being written by Hans V. Westerhoff. This book will be a successor to 'Thermodynamics and control of biological free-energy transduction, Elsevier, Amsterdam (1987) by Westerhoff, H.V. & Van Dam, K.

This is the home programme for the Infrastructure Systems Biology @ NL activity of assisting clients with systems biology

To summarise an overview of existing evidence between Chinese medicine and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)，and to evaluate the strength and validity of these associations. We retrieved systematic evaluations and meta-analyses of randomized controlled trials(RCT) evaluating Chinese herbal interventions in polycystic ovaries, including the use of decoctions or Chinese patent medicines. The quality of these systematic evaluations was evaluated using AMSTAR2 tools, while ovulation rate, pregnancy ...

Infection management requires the development of research programs that operate with the logic of network medicine for implementation of complex strategies to make the best use of availability of "omics-based" technologies, development of systems diagnostics, possibility of using innovative (and at the same time extremely expensive) drugs. This study group is composed by many experts with high knowledge in infectious diseases and “omics” competences at at Italian National Institute for Infectious ...

This page is dedicated to the bioinformatics analysis and computational modelling related to Covid-19 disease map pathways.

We develop macrophage logical models to represent the activation/polarization of this immune cell. Interactions are manually curated with available macrophage literature. The models are mainly built and analyzed in GINsim. But other resources are used to integrate specific pathways or small modules (CasQ software) and to analyze the logical models (CoLoMoTo Notebooks).

We used the Neo4j graph database approach to integrate the content of the COVID-19 Disease Map diagrams to efficiently access, query and manage the content of these diagrams and enable communication with external resources, such as Reactome and Recon, that already provide support via a similar environment.
