2-Benzylidene-1-indanone derivatives as inhibitors of monoamine oxidase
(Elsevier, 2016)In the present study, a series of twenty-two 2-benzylidene-1-indanone derivatives were synthesised and evaluated as inhibitors of recombinant human monoamine oxidase (MAO) A and B. The 2-benzylidene-1-indanone derivatives ... -
A 2-Decade Appraisal of African Nursing Scholarship: 1986-2006
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2009)This paper is a description of a study about articles published about nursing in Africa from 1986 to 2006. METHODS: An exhaustive database search of articles written by nurses or articles related to nursing in Africa was ... -
2-Heteroarylidene-1-indanone derivatives as inhibitors of monoamine oxidase
(Elsevier, 2016)In the present study a series of fifteen 2-heteroarylidene-1-indanone derivatives were synthesised and evaluated as inhibitors of recombinant human monoamine oxidase (MAO) A and B. These compounds are structurally related ... -
2020 International Society of Hypertension global hypertension practice guidelines
(AHA, 2020)Context and Purpose of This Guideline Statement of Remit To align with its mission to reduce the global burden of raised blood pressure (BP), the International Society of Hypertension (ISH) has developed worldwide ... -
2020 International Society of Hypertension global hypertension practice guidelines - lifestyle modification. Reply
(Wolters Kluwer, 2020)The 2020 ISH Global Hypertension Practice Guidelines [1] include a detailed list of lifestyle modifications with varying levels of evidence for the reduction of blood pressure and cardiovascular risk. We listed some novel ... -
24-Hour central blood pressure: reference values for healthy individuals. The international 24hour ambulatory aortic blood pressure consortium (I24ABC)
(Wolters Kluwer, 2019)Objective: Central systolic blood pressure (cSBP) differs from peripheral SBP (pSBP) and may have higher prognostic relevance, but the normal values in ambulatory conditions are unknown. We present reference values for ... -
25 Years of research on global asphyxia in the immature rat brain
(Elsevier, 2017)Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy remains a common cause of brain damage in neonates. Preterm infants have additional complications, as prematurity by itself increases the risk of encephalopathy. Currently, therapy for this ... -
3-Coumaranone derivatives as inhibitors of monoamine oxidase
(Dove Press, 2015)The present study examines the monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitory properties of a series of 20 3-coumaranone [benzofuran-3(2H)-one] derivatives. The 3-coumaranone derivatives are structurally related to series of α-tetralone ... -
3D analysis of synaptic vesicle density and distribution after acute foot‐shock stress by using serial section transmission electron microscopy
(Wiley, 2017)Behavioural stress has shown to strongly affect neurotransmission within the neocortex. In this study, we analysed the effect of an acute stress model on density and distribution of neurotransmitter‐containing vesicles ... -
4-(3-Nitrophenyl)thiazol-2-ylhydrazone derivatives as antioxidants and selective hMAO-B inhibitors: synthesis, biological activity and computational analysis
(Taylor & Francis, 2019)A new series of 4-(3-nitrophenyl)thiazol-2-ylhydrazone derivatives were designed, synthesised, and evaluated to assess their inhibitory effect on the human monoamine oxidase (hMAO) A and B isoforms. Different (un)substituted ... -
