Implementation of Skills-Based Vocational Education Programmes for Youths Empowerment and Community Development in Ogun State, Nigeria
Authors: IYUNADE Olufunmilayo T.
Published: August 2024

Due to some institutional, structural, personnel, and environmental variables of performance limitations, the expectations of vocational education programmes seem to have been compromised. This paper therefore presents an investigation on the implementation of vocational education programmes for community empowerment in Ogun State, Nigeria. Descriptive survey research was adopted for the study. From a total population of 384,740 technical education students, a sample of 380 students and 60 instructors were selected using a random sampling technique. A 5-point Likert structured questionnaire titled: “Vocational Education and Community Empowerment Scale (VECES)”, r=0.86 was used for data collection. Mean and standard deviation scores were used to answer the research questions, while a t-test was used to test the hypotheses at a 0.05 level of significance. Results showed that inadequate training facilities and an acute shortage of qualified instructors challenged vocational education programmes for community empowerment. Respondents did not significantly differ in their opinions on the contents, challenges and strategies to enhance the effective implementation of vocational education programmes. It was concluded that youths in the communities were yet to be empowered because of the performance limitations associated with implementing vocational education programmes as expected in the state’s policy document. Based on these findings, it was recommended among others that government and private sectors should provide qualified instructors, equipment and facilities in technical and vocational institutions for the acquisition of skills.

Authors: Punja Rohini , Kausar Aamna , Menon Girish R , Hosapatna Mamatha
Published: August 2024

Study Design: A descriptive, quantitative cross-sectional study of the atlantic part (V3) of the vertebral artery (VA).Purpose: This study aimed to bridge the research gap in the morphometry of the V3 segment of the VA in the South Indian population.Overview of Literature: The microsurgical anatomy of this segment of the VA has been explored in various populations, and a thorough understanding of the anatomy and course of the VA, particularly the V3 segment, is essential to prevent iatrogenic complications. Several computed tomography studies but a few cadaveric studies have explored the V3 segment of the VA in the South Indian population.Methods: This study examined 40 VAs from 20 embalmed cadavers that were obtained from the voluntary donation program, and Institutional Ethical Clearance was obtained before the study. The length, diameter, and angle of the vertical, horizontal, and exit parts of the V3 segment of the VA were documented after its exposure.Results: The mean lengths of the right and left VAs on each part were nearly similar, except for the mean length of the horizontal part (right: 38.937 mm, left: 40.237 mm) and total length of the V3 segment (right: 66.870 mm, left: 70.350 mm).Conclusions: These morphometric parameters are essential to spine surgeons who intend to operate on a small part (vertical, horizontal, or exit part) of the V3 segment of the VA. The mean values of the parameters obtained in this study give average measurements or safe limits to surgeons for safe surgical procedures such as the occipital condyle screw technique and C1 laminectomy.

Authors: Karabacak Mert , Schupper Alexander , Carr Matthew , Margetis Konstantinos
Published: August 2024

Study Design: A retrospective machine learning (ML) classification study for prognostic modeling after anterior cervical corpectomy (ACC).Purpose: To evaluate the effectiveness of ML in predicting ACC outcomes and develop an accessible, user-friendly tool for this purpose.Overview of Literature: Based on our literature review, no study has examined the capability of ML algorithms to predict major shortterm ACC outcomes, such as prolonged length of hospital stay (LOS), non-home discharge, and major complications.Methods: The American College of Surgeons’ National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database was used to identify patients who underwent ACC. Prolonged LOS, non-home discharges, and major complications were assessed as the outcomes of interest. ML models were developed with the TabPFN algorithm and integrated into an open-access website to predict these outcomes.Results: The models for predicting prolonged LOS, non-home discharges, and major complications demonstrated mean areas under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) of 0.802, 0.816, and 0.702, respectively. These findings highlight the discriminatory capacities of the models: fair (AUROC >0.7) for differentiating patients with major complications from those without, and good (AUROC >0.8) for distinguishing between those with and without prolonged LOS and non-home discharges. According to the SHapley Additive Explanations analysis, single- versus multiple-level surgery, age, body mass index, preoperative hematocrit, and American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status repetitively emerged as the most important variables for each outcome.Conclusions: This study has considerably enhanced the prediction of postoperative results after ACC surgery by implementing advanced ML techniques. A major contribution is the creation of an accessible web application, highlighting the practical value of the developed models. Our findings imply that ML can serve as an invaluable supplementary tool to stratify patient risk for this procedure and can predict diverse postoperative adverse outcomes.
Фактори ефективності кооперативного навчання: теоретичні підходи і емпіричні дослідження
Authors: Галузяк Василь , Макодай Олександр
Published: August 2024

The article deals with the problem of factors and psychological mechanisms of influence of cooperative learning on students' achievement. On the basis of comparative analysis, four approaches to understanding the factors of effectiveness of cooperative learning are distinguished: motivational, socio-psychological, cognitive-genetic, and cognitive-functional. The motivational approach (D. Johnson, R. Johnson, R. Slavin) brings to the fore the motivation of performing joint educational tasks, determining the structure of rewards or group educational tasks that stimulate and direct the activity of students. The socio-psychological approach (E. Aronson, V. Battisch, D. Solomon, K. Delucci, E. Cohen, S. Sharan, Y. Sharan) emphasizes the cohesion of students, their interpersonal relationships, which depend on the success of educational activities: students actively participate in group tasks and help each other if they identify with the group and strive for joint success. Proponents of this approach attach great importance to ways of forming student groups (teams), establishing constructive interpersonal relationships during joint learning, as well as reflecting on the process and results of joint cognitive activity. Proponents of cognitive approaches believe that interaction between students in itself increases their success due to intensive cognitive processing of information, rather than motivation or social cohesion of students. Two slightly different cognitive approaches are distinguished, which developed in parallel ways: cognitive-genetic and cognitive-functional. The cognitive-genetic approach, which was formed in line with the theories of mental development of L. Vygotsky and J. Piaget, is based on the assumption that communicative interaction in the process of performing cognitive tasks contributes to the mental development of students and increases the quality of assimilation of educational material (M. Burns, B. Wadsworth, W. Damon, F. Murray). The cognitive-functional approach arose in the vein of cognitive psychology and claims that the positive effect of cooperative learning on the success of students is ensured by cognitive restructuring (processing) of educational information, which contributes to its preservation in memory and integration into the previously learned system of knowledge (S. Allen, N. Webb, M. Wittrock, D. Dansereau, L. Devin-Sheehan, A. O'Donnell, A. Palincsar, M. Presley, R. Feldman). Summarizing the results of research in the field of cooperative learning makes it possible to create a coherent theoretical model that integrates various approaches and comprehensively considers the main factors of the effectiveness of cooperative learning: motivation, group cohesion, processes of interpersonal interaction that stimulate cognitive development and processing of educational material. In such a model, each of the four approaches considered plays a role and makes an important contribution to understanding the interrelated processes of cooperative learning.
AN ENCHANTMENT OF DIGITAL ARCHAEOLOGY
Authors: Graham Shawn
Published: August 2024

The use of computation in archaeology is a kind of magic, a way of heightening the archaeological imagination. Agent-based modelling allows archaeologists to test the ‘just-so’ stories they tell about the past. It requires a formalization of the story so that it can be represented as a simulation; researchers are then able to explore the unintended consequences or emergent outcomes of stories about the past. Agent-based models are one end of a spectrum that, at the opposite side, ends with video games. This volume explores this spectrum in the context of Roman archaeology, addressing the strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities of a formalized approach to computation and archaeogaming.

The nutrient cycle in indigenous polytric-sphagnum spruce forests of Komi Republic
Authors: Bobkova K. S. , Likhanova N. V.
Published: August 2024

The paper presents materials that showcase the local cycle of chemical elements in the soil-phytocenosis system of a mature middle taiga polytric-sphagnum spruce forest on hydromorphic podzolic soils. The structure of organic and mineral matter of plants of different tiers is also presented here. The work also provides a concept for the nitrogen and ash elements migration in the process of phytomass forming and their influx with plant litter. The main role in the structural composition of annual production of organic matter and litter in the ecosystem of an old-growth spruce forest is played by the forest stand. It was established that 1329.84 kg ha–1of mineral nutrition elements accumulate in plant phytomass. N, Ca, and K are characterized by a greater accumulation capacity. Spruce forest plants remove 136.18 kg ha–1of mineral nutrition elements from soils with annual production. With annual litter, 107.00 kg ha–1of nitrogen and ash elements get back to the soil, of which 37.0 kg ha–1are released in the process of plant litter destruction. The main accumulator of nutrients is the organic soil horizon, where 2421.79 kg ha–1of chemical elements are concentrated. With atmospheric precipitation, 22.6 kg ha–1of nitrogen and ash elements enter the soil during the year. It has been shown that the rate of mineral elements leaching beyond the root layer (0–40 cm) with surface waters is 71.78 kg ha–1per year.
Half-century dynamics of structure and productivity of forest stands in primeval and first time clear cut middle boreal forests
Authors: Korepin A. А. , Kapitsa E. A. , Shorohov A. A.
Published: August 2024

In view of actively discussed intensification of forest management, decreasing areas of natural forests and associated biological diversity, understanding the mechanisms of biogeocenoses recovery after disturbances is becoming more and more relevant. We studied the successional dynamics of middle taiga forest communities after first clear cut as compared to the natural dynamics of primeval forest communities in the control plots. Our specific objectives were to: 1) compare growing stock of forest stands (total values, distribution by tree species, variation during the observation period); 2) identify distribution of trees number and growing stock by diameter; 3) evaluate the indicators of stand productivity (annual growth increment); 4) describe the dynamics of tree species composition in the harvested forest stands. The results rely on the long-term permanent plot records. The growing stock and the number of trees in primeval stands weren’t constant over the observation period. Natural disturbances caused by strong winds contributed to a significant fluctuation in the number of trees and growing stock of some stands. The growing stock of stands recovering after felling in many cases becomes comparable to the stock of primeval forest stands by the age of 50 years. At certain periods, in some primeval and harvested forest stands, there is a similarity in the diameter distribution of growing stock and the number of trees caused by disturbances of similar severity — clear cut or windthrow. The productivity of middle-aged forest stands was significantly higher than that of primeval stands. Many first time clear cut forest stands were characterized by the dominance of deciduous species. Nevertheless, conifers also had a significant share in most tree stands on the account of preserved spruce undergrowth and seeding from the neighboring tree stands. Our results can be used for developing optimal forest management scenarios and restoration programmes for forest ecosystem services in managed forests.
Population structure and phenological patterns of milicia excelsa in moist evergreen afromontane forests of Southwestern Ethiopia
Authors: Nigatu М.
Published: August 2024

Knowledge of population structure and phenological patterns is basic to understanding the biological process, impact of disturbance, and forest successional trend. The main objective of this paper is to investigate the population structure and phenology of Milicia excelsa for seed production area. This study was conducted in Yayu and Bebeka natural forests, South West Ethiopia. Systematic sampling method was used to collect the data. Ten line transects were laid down along the gradient at each 100 m interval. Sample plots of 20 × 20 m for trees and saplings and 5 × 5 m for seedlings were laid down along transects at 50 m interval. Within the main plots, sub-plots for seedlings were laid out at the four corners and centre. A total of 60 quadrats were sampled at the Kebereta (Bebeka) and Dawe (Yayu) sites. DBH and height of trees were measured from each main plot. Data on phenology study was collected from both primary and secondary sources. The results of the distribution of the population of M. excelsa exhibited almost irregular pattern across the selected natural forests. The regeneration status of M. excelsa is ‘fair’ at the Bebeka site and ‘none’ at the Yayu site. M. excelsa has the highest proportion of individuals in natural forest at the Kebereta site than at the Dawe site; thus, it is more favourable to establish a seed production area there.
Methodologies оf the forest climatic projects realisation: a review
Authors: Nevzorova T. А.
Published: August 2024

According to various estimates, there are anywhere from several hundred to a thousand initiatives for the protection, planting and reproduction of forests in Russia with a declared environmental effect. Russia has enormous potential for generating carbon units through forest climate projects. However, this opportunity is practically unused. One of the reasons for such low development is the lack of a methodological basis for forest climatic projects. In this regard, the purpose of this study is to analyse the main methodologies used for the calculation, verification and certification of forest management projects aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions and increasing carbon sequestration. This article examined forest management projects that have achieved certification under Verra's Verified Carbon Standard, the world's leading voluntary carbon markets program.
The methodologies classification was carried out according to the types of activities involved in the projects:
1) reforestation and afforestation;
2) forest management improvements;
3) reducing the emissions from deforestation and forest degradation.
This paper contributes to a detailed analysis of the methodologies used for calculating the forest climatic projects in the world and identifying the relevant methodologies that can be used to calculate the carbon units for forest climatic projects in Russia. Also presented are the universal recommendations for reporting forest climate projects.

Authors: Tarasov S. S. , Krutova E. K.
Published: August 2024

The effect of ultrasound (5, 10 and 20 min, intensity 25 kW/m2, frequency 26.1 kHz) on the dynamics of the activity of the main antioxidant enzymes: superoxide dismutase, catalase, peroxidase and the expression of the genes encoding them (SOD-1, CAT, POD) was studied in germinating seeds and wheat sprouts. Ultrasound after 1 hour predominantly suppressed the activity of antioxidant enzymes, with subsequent restoration and increase (after 1 and 6 days) of activity. The content of mRNA transcripts of the studied genes predominantly increased 1 hour after exposure, and subsequently (after 1 and 6 days) it was either higher or remained equal to the control. The results obtained apparently indicate that ultrasound triggers eustress mechanisms, i. e. the stimulating effect led to the mobilization of protective processes of cells – hormesis.

Long-term monitoring abundance of the steppe polecat (Mustela eversmanii) in the Chelyabinsk region are considered. The analysis of the abundance dynamics of Mustelidae was carried out on the basis of monitoring data using the method of winter accounting (WA) conducted annually. Over the past few years, the steppe polecat has not been registered during accounting work in the mountain taiga, i. e. its number is either extremely low, or it has completely disappeared. In forest-steppe territories for 12 years, from 2008 to 2020, the abundance of polecats decreased almost 90 times, from 3058. to 34 ind. The data on the number of the main prey species of the steppe polecat – ground squirrel (Spermophilus major) and gray ground squirrel (Spermophilus pygmaeus) and the groundhog (Marmota bobak) are presented. The hypothesis of the influence of the American mink on the number of the steppe polecat is considered.

Published: August 2024

This study examines the dynamics of political communication between national political parties and local political parties in Southwest Aceh Regency (Kabupaten Aceh Barat Daya) and South Aceh Regency (Kabupaten Aceh Selatan) leading up to the 2024 Legislative Election. The research employs a qualitative methodology, which seeks to uncover issues, conditions, or events (fact-finding) experienced by the research subjects, including behaviors, perceptions, motivations, and actions holistically. These findings are then described in words and language within a specific natural context using various natural methods. The study aims to describe the dynamics of political communication between national and local political parties, analyze the implications of these dynamics, formulate the concept of Islamic political communication as a strategy to strengthen political communication between national and local parties, and identify barriers to implementing Islamic political communication as a strategy in Abdiya and South Aceh regencies leading up to the 2024 Legislative Election. The research findings reveal: First, the dynamics of political communication between national and local parties in Abdiya and South Aceh leading up to the 2024 Legislative Election are quite dynamic, characterized by the development of both effective and ineffective political communication. If not managed properly, ineffective political communication is likely to become dominant. Second, the implications of political communication between national and local parties in Abdiya and South Aceh leading up to the 2024 Legislative Election are also dynamic, with various forms of political messages impacting the audience and becoming targets for other political media/channels. There are three types of communication effects: cognitive, affective, and behavioral, all of which are significantly observed in Aceh Abdya and South Aceh. Third, Islamic political communication as a strategy to strengthen effective political communication by national and local parties in Abdiya and South Aceh leading up to the 2024 Legislative Election is seen as a suitable solution, although it requires a long process.
Is There an Association Between Living in a Rural Area and the Incidence of Postoperative Complications or Hospital Readmissions Following Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD) Implantation, Compared to Urban LVAD Recipients?
Authors: Gollapudi Samrat , Gollapudi Abhiram , Banala Srinidhi , Singh Sheraj , Patel Bhaumik
Published: August 2024

Background: Left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) are utilized as a therapeutic option for patients with end-stage heart failure. While LVAD implantation can significantly improve survival rates and quality of life, the procedure is not without risks, and postoperative complications are common. This review aims to investigate whether there is an association between living in a rural area and the incidence of postoperative complications or hospital readmissions following LVAD implantation, compared to urban LVAD recipients. Methods: A comprehensive review of the literature was conducted, examining studies that compared postoperative outcomes between rural and urban LVAD recipients. Data were extracted on adverse events, hospitalizations, and mortality rates, with a focus on the impact of geographic location on these outcomes. Results: The review found that rural LVAD recipients may be at a higher risk for certain postoperative complications, such as gastrointestinal bleeding, ventricular arrhythmias, LVAD complications, and stroke. Rural patients also had higher instances of emergency department visits and hospital readmissions. Despite these challenges, survival rates and heart transplantation outcomes at 1 year were similar between rural and urban recipients. However, rural patients exhibited a higher driveline infection rate at 1 year. Conclusion: The findings of this review suggest that rural residency may be associated with an increased risk of certain postoperative complications and hospital readmissions following LVAD implantation. These results highlight the need for tailored healthcare strategies to address the unique challenges faced by rural LVAD recipients. Further research is necessary to fully understand the relationship between geographic location and LVAD outcomes, and to develop interventions that can improve postoperative care for this vulnerable population

Preeclampsia/Eclampsia are common gestational conditions among pregnant women. These individuals have hypertension after 20 weeks of gestation, proteinuria/end-stage organ disease, and may have seizures. These conditions can put the mother and fetus at risk.1,2 A review of literature investigates whether an association exists between congenital heart defects (CHD), and maternal preeclampsia/eclampsia in the neurotypical and neurodivergent population. The Rowan-Virtua Regional Integrated Special Needs (RISN) Center patient population was used to investigate whether maternal preeclampsia/eclampsia is indicative of higher congenital heart disease (CHD) in their neurodivergent children to achieve better quality of care. As a first step towards exploring the relationship between preeclampsia/eclampsia and CHD in the neurodivergent population, the current literature was reviewed. Retrospective Chart Reviews were also conducted. Preliminary data indicates that common congenital cardiac anomalies among the neurodivergent population whose mothers experienced preeclampsia/eclampsia are Tetralogy of Fallot, Bicuspid Aortic Valve, Atrial Septal Defect, Ventricular Septal Defect, and Pulmonic Stenosis. More studies need to be done on the neurodivergent population to determine whether a strong association exists between congenital cardiovascular anomalies and maternal preeclampsia/eclampsia.
Investigating Patient Barriers in Receiving Mammography Screenings Following the COVID-19 Pandemic

Current literature shows reduced breast cancer mortality is associated with compliance of mammographic screenings (Duffy, 2020), specifically increasing the survival rate an estimated 1-2% every year for the past thirty years (Giordano, 2004). However, during the Covid-19 pandemic, rates of basic cancer screenings, including breast cancer, all declined (Chen, 2021). Unfortunately, even in a “post-pandemic” world, years after the height of the pandemic, the Rowan-Virtua School of Osteopathic Medicine Family Medicine Office has noticed many female patients still have not kept up with their routine basic healthcare screenings. While there are many barriers in access to healthcare, this survey-based study aims to uncover the rates of mammograms and barriers affecting patients’ completion of Breast Cancer screenings since the Covid-19 pandemic. A fourteen question survey was distributed to 65 female patients between the ages of 40 and 75, in a Suburban Family Medicine Office. The survey responses were analyzed and the findings provide insight on the barriers hindering patients from conducting their annual mammograms. 58.46% of participants did not complete their annual mammogram screening in the recommended time frame. The largest variation of responses as to why women did not complete their mammogram regarded the time commitment of appointments. Even though we are technically in a “post-pandemic” time, there is still a gap in participation in routine screening exams. This data informs healthcare providers about the barriers in preventative healthcare and will help providers better understand patients’ needs to improve women’s health outcomes.
Impact of Diabetic Education on Reducing Hospital Readmission Rates: A Literature Review of Adults with Diabetes
Authors: Camarda Frank
Published: August 2024

According to 2018 data from the Diabetes Institute Foundation, adults in the U.S. diagnosed with diabetes accounted for 17 million emergency department visits. The readmission rate for patients with diabetes far exceeds the general readmission rates for hospitalized patients. While there is recognition of the need for diabetic education to reduce hospital readmissions, optimizing long-term self-management of diabetics remains a focus of ongoing research.
Improving Primary and Gynecological Care in Transmasculine Patients
Authors: Mautner Alison N. , Petrides Joanna
Published: August 2024

Introduction: This study aimed to assess the healthcare experiences of transmasculine individuals in primary and gynecological care settings. An online, anonymous survey was conducted to gather insights into positive and adverse encounters, factors influencing care-seeking behaviors, and strategies for improving care delivery in this population. Methods: A survey was administered between June 1st and July 23rd, 2023, recruiting participants from three LGBTQ+ affirming healthcare offices in South Jersey and via Reddit. Data analysis involved SPSS to gain information from 499 valid responses. Results: The majority of participants (55%) were aged 18-24, with 51% identifying as transgender men. Over two-thirds (68.5%) had undergone medical transition procedures. Findings highlighted insufficient provider training in transgender healthcare needs (59.3%) and misgendering practices (26%) contributing to discomfort and deterrence from seeking care. Only 48.7% of respondents saw a primary care provider regularly, with 52.7% expressing that correct name and pronoun usage would positively impact their experience. Regarding gynecological care, 68.7% did not receive preventative care, citing dysphoria as the primary deterrent (49.7%). Main causes of discomfort at the gynecologist included a lack of gender-affirming imagery (18%), waiting room experiences (18.0%), and heteronormative assumptions about sexual activity (17%). Conclusion: This study provides insights into the healthcare experiences of transmasculine individuals in primary and gynecological care settings, emphasizing the need for LGBTQ+ inclusivity and provider training to enhance patient comfort and engagement in care. Future research should address racial disparities in participation and explore interventions to improve healthcare access and quality for transmasculine people of color.
Re-envisioning Decolonizing Pedagogies: Beyond Knowing, Delving into Being as an Access to Possible Decolonial Futures
Authors: Moghaddam Fatemeh
Published: August 2024

This article argues that ontological phenomenological methods, addressing being, becoming, and existence, provide novel forms of knowledge production and pathways to decolonizing pedagogy in higher education through critiquing its neoliberalist and anthropocentric settler-colonial foundations. Two metaphors are employed to explore ontological pedagogy: one metaphor highlights the linguistic dynamics of joke-telling and the other compares the acquisition of a new language to ontological learning. A concise overview of decolonizing pedagogy and ontological phenomenological pedagogy is provided through sharing the author's experiences, positionality, and exposures to these frameworks. The inquiry also explores whether ontological pedagogical framework remains mainly discursive or leads to material change, especially in light of autobiographical accounts of the author's encounters with systemic, material, and discursive oppression. The author intentionally refrains from conclusions, inviting readers to engage in a nuanced exploration of a less-traveled realm of ontological inquiry in higher education.
Red Panax ginseng root promotes neuronal plasticity in vitro and improves cognitive function in aged animals

Background: Cognitive function declines with aging, primarily due to reduced neuronal plasticity, decreased release of trophic factors, and neuronal stress. Genetic and environmental factors have been shown to impact cognitive function. Diets enriched with neuroactive ingredients have been proposed to support cognitive functions in humans. Several neuroactive compounds, including ginsenosides, have been identified in Panax ginseng. Many studies show that the roots of this plant promote neuroprotection and neuroplasticity.
Objective: The aim of this study was to examine the impact of the red Panax ginseng roots cultivated in an innovative vertical farming technology. The effects of the red Panax ginseng roots were investigated to determine whether they could (1) support neuronal plasticity and neuronal survival during stress in vitro and (2) improve cognitive function (short-term memory) in vivo. 
Methods: An extract of the Botalys red Panax ginseng root powder was tested in vitro on primary hippocampal and cortical neurons, injured or not, with glutamate. Its effects on the neuritogenesis and the synaptogenesis was investigated as well as its neuroprotective efficacy. Moreover, the effect of the red Panax ginseng root powder was investigated in vivo on the cognitive functions of aged animals.
Results: The results demonstrated that prolonged treatment of hippocampal neurons with the red Panax ginseng extract significantly prompts synapse formation and neurite elongation in primary cultures of hippocampal neurons. In addition, the red Panax ginseng extract protected neurons from glutamate-induced excitotoxicity in a primary culture of cortical neurons. In aging mice, oral administration of red Panax ginseng root powder for 7 days significantly improved short-term memory deficit associated with aging.
Conclusion: Altogether, these results indicate that red Panax ginseng root promotes neuronal plasticity and synaptogenesis in in vitro models and improves short-term memory deficits in in vivo models of aging.
