Emergency medicine (EM) has a scientifically derived and commonly accepted description of the domain of its clinical practice. That document, “The Model of the Clinical Practice of Emergency Medicine” (EM Model), was ...
An Extended Fourier Approach to Improve the Retrieved Leaf Area Index (LAI) in a Time Series from an Alpine Wetland
(2015)
An extended Fourier approach was presented to improve the retrieved leaf area
index (LAIr) of herbaceous vegetation in a time series from an alpine wetland. The retrieval
was performed from the Aqua MODIS 8-day composite ...
Docosahexaenoic acid counteracts palmitate-induced endoplasmic reticulum stress in C2C12 myotubes: Impact on muscle atrophy
(2017-12)
Lipid accumulation in skeletal muscle results in dysregulation of protein meta- bolism and muscle atrophy. We previously reported that treating C2C12 myo- tubes with palmitate (PA), a saturated fatty acid, increases the ...

Differential expression of microRNAs during fiber development between fuzzless- lintless mutant and its wild-type allotetraploid cotton
(2017-01-31)
Cotton is one of the most important textile crops but little is known how microRNAs regulate cotton fiber development. Using a well-studied cotton fiberless mutant Xu-142-fl, we compared 54 miRNAs for their expression ...
Remote Antimicrobial Stewardship in Community Hospitals

(2014)
Objective—It is unknown whether endothelial dysfunction precedes atrial fibrillation (AF) development. The objective of
this study was to examine the association of brachial flow-mediated dilation (FMD) with incident ...
Analysis of the B-RAFV600E mutation in cutaneous melanoma patients with occupational sun exposure
(2014)
Sun-exposure is one of the risk factors associated with the development of a cutaneous neoplasm. In melanoma, the Ras-Raf-MEK-ERK (MAPK) signaling pathway is constitutively activated through multiple mechanisms, including ...
