Olfactory transport efficiency of the amorphous and crystalline manganese oxide nanoparticles by A. V. Romashchenko, D. V. Petrovskii, M. B.  Sharapova, Y. M. Moshkin, K. E. Kuper, K. N.  Morozova, E. V. Kiseleva, M. P. Moshkin

“…The unequal ability of amorphous and crystalline particles to overcome the mucosal layer covering the OE may be one of the possible reasons for the different nose-to-brain transport efficiency of particulated matter. Indeed, the introduction of mucolytic (dithiothreitol) 20 minutes prior to intranasal particle application did not influence the accumulation of amorphous particles in OE and OB, but enhanced the efficiency of crystalline nanoparticle entry. …”

Lessons of World War II and Strategic Planning of the Big Three (1945–1949) by I. E. Magadeev

“…The author concludes that WWII was perceived by the political and military leaders of that time as a model of the eventual ‘great war’ in the future, which almost certainly would be ‘total’ and ‘global’ in scope and would demand both thorough preparations during the peacetime and the militarization of civil life. Indeed, the experience of WWII had greatly influenced the strategic and operational planning in the USSR, the USA and Great Britain in 1945–1949. …”

Evidence from a mouse model supports repurposing an anti-asthmatic drug, bambuterol, against Alzheimer’s disease by administration through an intranasal route by Anne-Claire Groo, Thomas Curel, Aurélie Malzert-Fréon, Line Séguy, Ophélie Bento, Sophie Corvaisier, Thomas Culerier, Romain Legrand, Noëlle Callizot, Alexandre Henriques, Georgia Culley, Sylvie Claeysen, Christophe Rochais, Patrick Dallemagne

“…Further, bambuterol, in the form of a liposomal gel, showed a good bioavailability in CNS after intranasal administration, which should reduce any side effects linked to peripheral terbutaline release. Indeed, even if the latter is more selective than other β2-mimetics towards bronchial β2-AR, cardiovascular effects (tachycardia, arrhythmias…) could occur upon cardiac β1-AR activation. …”

Towards culturally inclusive healthcare in Peru: Mapping epistemic concepts in contemporary Indigenous Amazonian medicine-Traditional healers' perspectives. by Ilana Berlowitz, Maria Amalia Pesantes, Cynthia Cárdenas Palacios, Chantal Martin-Soelch, Ursula Wolf, Caroline Maake

“…Furthermore, while the healers considered traditional and biomedicine as complementary systems, they identified the lack of recognition of traditional healers as a primary barrier for collaboration. Indeed, preconceptions and stigma on Indigenous medicine along with a paucity of research, still represent an impediment to countries' ability to respond to Indigenous peoples' health-related expectations and needs, thus maintaining existing inequalities. …”

Imperfect bipolarity: The ‘third power’ factor in Soviet-American relations in the nuclear field (1958–1968) by V. А. Veselov

“…The latter did not only influence the logic and dynamics of Soviet-American relations, but also to a large extent predetermined the direction and nature of their military development and planning. Indeed, it was the ‘third power’ factor, namely China, along with the achievement of strategic parity between the superpowers that became one of the main impulses to the establishment of the non-proliferation regime. …”
