Clinical assessment of medical students in the Emergency Department, A National Consensus Conference
(2017-01)
BACKGROUND
The clinical assessment of medical students in the emergency department (ED) is a highly variable process in which clerkship directors (CD) create and use institution-specific tools, many with unproven reliability ...
Beyond Beck's triad: A case report of cardiac tamponade in a “super-super” obese patient
(2017-06)
Cardiac tamponade is a medical emergency with various etiologies. Prompt recognition of the signs and symptoms of cardiac tamponade is critical but potentially full of challenge in clinical practice [1]. Here we report a ...
Integrated transcriptome, small RNA and degradome sequencing approaches provide insights into Ascochyta blight resistance in chickpea
(2018-10-16)
Ascochyta blight (AB) is one of the major biotic stresses known to limit the chickpea production worldwide. To dissect the complex mechanisms of AB resistance in chickpea, three approaches, namely, transcriptome, small RNA ...
High-intensity exercise to promote accelerated improvements in cardiorespiratory fitness (HI-PACE): study protocol for a randomized controlled trial
(2019-08-08)
Background:
African Americans have a disproportionate prevalence and incidence of type 2 diabetes compared with Caucasians. Recent evidence indicates that low cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) level, an independent risk ...
Increased mitochondrial NADPH oxidase 4 (NOX4) expression in aging is a causative factor in aortic stiffening
(2019-08-02)
Aging is characterized by increased aortic stiffness, an early, independent predictor and cause of cardiovascular disease. Oxidative stress from excess reactive oxygen species (ROS) production increases with age. Mitochondria ...
Influence of Community‐Based Dental Education on Practice Choice: Preliminary Data from East Carolina University
(2019-09-01)
Maldistribution of the dental workforce contributes to poor access to oral health care. Community‐based dental education (CBDE) may help to address this problem by using experiential learning to encourage new dentists to ...
Disparities in healthy food zoning, farmers' market availability, and fruit and vegetable consumption among North Carolina residents
(2015)
Background: Context and purpose of the study. To examine (1) associations between county-level zoning to support
farmers’ market placement and county-level farmers’ market availability, rural/urban designation, percent ...
Inhibition of CD44 intracellular domain production suppresses bovine articular chondrocyte de-differentiation induced by excessive mechanical stress loading
(2019-10-17)
CD44 fragmentation is enhanced in chondrocytes of osteoarthritis (OA) patients. We hypothesized that mechanical stress-induced enhancement of CD44-intracellular domain (CD44-ICD) production plays an important role in the ...
Influence of Pre-Heating Regular Resin Composites and Flowable Composites on Luting Ceramic Veneers with Different Thicknesses
(2019-06-04)
The aim of this study was to evaluate of pre-heating, filler contents and ceramic thickness on film thickness, microshear bond strength, degree of conversion and color change on ceramic veneers. Two experimental composites ...
Impact of Fuel and Energy Complex on Sustainable Development of Mineral Extracting Regions: the World Experience
(2019-06-21)
The fossil fuel sectors and export of its products occupy a leading position in the economy of many countries and directly affect the sustainability of national economies. Therefore, in the long term an adequate vision of ...
