Recommendations for active correction of hypernatremia in volume-resuscitated shock or sepsis patients should be taken with a grain of salt: A systematic review
(2018-03-21)
Background: Healthcare-acquired hypernatremia (serum sodium >145 mEq/dL) is common among critically ill and other
hospitalized patients and is usually treated with hypotonic fluid and/or diuretics to correct a “free water ...
An Experiment Assessing Punitive versus Wellness Framing of a Tobacco-Free Campus Policy on Students’ Perceived Level of University Support
(2017-08-20)
The objective of this study was to examine how different ways of describing a hypothetical tobacco-free campus policy would impact college students’ perceived level of support from the college. In the spring of 2016, we ...
Impaired contractile function of the supraspinatus in the acute period following a rotator cuff tear
(2017-11-09)
Background: Rotator cuff (RTC) tears are a common clinical problem resulting in adverse changes to the muscle, but there is limited information comparing histopathology to contractile function. This study assessed supraspinatus ...
Protein Kinase A Governs Oxidative Phosphorylation Kinetics and Oxidant Emitting Potential at Complex I
(2015)
he mitochondrial electron transport system (ETS) is responsible for setting and
maintaining both the energy and redox charges throughout the cell. Reversible
phosphorylation of mitochondrial proteins, particularly via ...
Fractional Flow Reserve/ Instantaneous Wave-Free Ratio Discordance in Angiographically Intermediate Coronary Stenoses: An Analysis Using Doppler-Derived Coronary Flow Measurements
(2017-12-26)
OBJECTIVES The study sought to determine the coronary flow characteristics of angiographically intermediate stenoses classified as discordant by fractional flow reserve (FFR) and instantaneous wave-free ratio (iFR).
BACKGROUND ...

(2017-12-22)
Intraoperative radiotherapy (IORT) for early stage breast cancer is a technique for partial breast irradiation. There are several technologies in clinical use to perform breast IORT. Regardless of technique, IORT generally ...
High throughput deep sequencing reveals the important roles of microRNAs during sweetpotato storage at chilling temperature
(2017-11-29)
Sweetpotato (Impomoea batatas L.) is a globally important economic food crop with a potential of becoming a bioenergy and pharmaceutical crop. Thus, studying the molecular mechanism of tuberous root development and storage ...
Evaluating Multipulse Integration as a Neural-Health Correlate in Human Cochlear-Implant Users: Relationship to Psychometric Functions for Detection
(2017-01)
In electrical hearing, multipulse integration (MPI) describes the rate at which detection threshold decreases with increasing stimulation rate in a fixed-duration pulse train. In human subjects, MPI has been shown to be ...
Isolation and molecular identification of endophytic diazotrophs from seeds and stems of three cereal crops
(2017-10-30)
Ten strains of endophytic diazotroph were isolated and identified from the plants collected from three different agricultural crop species, wheat, rice and maize, using the nitrogen-free selective isolation conditions. The ...
Increased TNF-alpha and sTNFR2 levels are associated with high-grade anal squamous intraepithelial lesions in HIV-positive patients with low CD4 level
(2017-12-01)
Compared with HIV-negative individuals, HIV-positive individuals have a higher prevalence of anogenital human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, the causative agent of anogenital cancer. TNF-alpha is a major proinflammatory ...
