Is caveolin-1 essential for protecting against binge drinking-induced liver damage through inhibiting reactive nitrogen species?
Cav-1 could be a cellular defense protein against alcoholic hepatic injury through inhibiting reactive nitrogen species and regulating EGFR/STAT3/iNOS-signaling cascades.
Up to a fourth of the variance in speech identification performance 3 yr after cochlear implantation of young children may be predicted from characteristics that are inherent to the child before implantation. Those characteristics are represented by the demonstration of autonomy in preverbal communicative interactions, whether by means of vocalization or by gesture. If those characteristics are acquired during infancy, outcomes in children with auditory prostheses including cochlear implants may be enhanced by activities that encourage autonomy in early years.
