Relief of dysphagia due to advanced achalasia by endoscopic creation of an esophagogastric bypass anastomosis through an epiphrenic diverticulum
(2017-05-18)
An 85-year-old man with long-standing dysphagia and multiple admissions for aspiration pneumonia was referred for evaluation.
Using Gamification and Social Incentives to Increase Physical Activity and Related Social Cognition among Undergraduate Students in Shanghai, China
(2019-03-08)
Gamification and social incentives are promising strategies to increase the effectiveness of web-based physical activity (PA) interventions by improving engagement. In this study, we designed a PA intervention integrating ...
Variation in pigmentation gene expression is associated with distinct aposematic color morphs in the poison frog Dendrobates auratus
(2019-04-18)
Background:
Color and pattern phenotypes have clear implications for survival and reproduction in many species. However, the mechanisms that produce this coloration are still poorly characterized, especially at the genomic ...
Voluntary Restoration: Mitigation's Silent Partner in the Quest to Reverse Coastal Wetland Loss in the USA
(2019-08-28)
Coastal ecosystems are under pressure from a vast array of anthropogenic stressors, including development and climate change, resulting in significant habitat losses globally. Conservation policies are often implemented ...
Susceptibility and Antibody Response of the Laboratory Model Zebra Finch (Taeniopygia guttata) to West Nile Virus
(2017-01-03)
Since the introduction of West Nile virus (WNV) into North America in 1999 a number of pas- serine bird species have been found to play a role in the amplification of the virus. Arbovirus surveillance, observational studies ...
Validity and reliability of telephone administration of the patient-specific functional scale for the assessment of recovery from snakebite envenomation
(2019-12-13)
Objectives:
Although more than 1.8 million people survive snakebite envenomation each year, their recovery is understudied. Obtaining long-term follow-up is challenging in both high- and low-resource settings. The ...
Stable optical trapping and sensitive characterization of nanostructures using standing- wave Raman tweezers
(2017-02-17)
Optical manipulation and label-free characterization of nanoscale structures open up new possibilities for assembly and control of nanodevices and biomolecules. Optical tweezers integrated with Raman spectroscopy allows ...
Study of Image Qualities From 6D Robot–Based CBCT Imaging System of Small Animal Irradiator
(2017-12)
Purpose: To assess the quality of cone beam computed tomography images obtained by a robotic arm-based and image-guided small animal conformal radiation therapy device. Method and Materials: The small animal conformal ...
Sorbus alnifolia protects dopaminergic neurodegeneration in Caenorhabditis elegans
(2017-01)
Context: The twigs of Sorbus alnifolia (Sieb. et Zucc.) K. Koch (Rosaceae) have been used to treat neuro- logical disorders as a traditional medicine in Korea. However, there are limited data describing the efficacy of S. ...
Software for objective comparison of vocal acoustic features over weeks of audio recording: KLFromRecordingDays
(2017-10)
KLFromRecordingDays allows measurement of Kullback–Leibler (KL) distances between 2D probability distributions of vocal acoustic features. Greater KL distance measures reflect increased phonological divergence across the ...
