"May I Buy a Pack of Marlboros, Please?" A Systematic Review of Evidence to Improve the Validity and Impact of Youth Undercover Buy Inspections
(2016-04-06)
Most smokers become addicted to tobacco products before they are legally able to pur- chase these products. We systematically reviewed the literature on protocols to assess underage purchase and their ecological validity. ...
Bilaterally Combined Electric and Acoustic Hearing in Mandarin-Speaking Listeners: The Population With Poor Residual Hearing
(2018-01-16)
The hearing loss criterion for cochlear implant candidacy in mainland China is extremely stringent (bilateral severe to
profound hearing loss), resulting in few patients with substantial residual hearing in the nonimplanted ...
Bias in meta-analyses using Hedges’ d
(2018-09-25)
The type of metric and weighting method used in meta-analysis can create bias and alter coverage of confidence intervals when the estimated effect size and its weight are correlated. Here, we investigate
bias associated ...
Baryon spectra and antiparticle-to-particle ratios from the improved AMPT model
(2018-02-02)
The current version of a multi-phase transport (AMPT) model with string melting can reasonably describe the dN/dy yields, pT spectra and anisotropic flows of pions and kaons at low pT in heavy ion collisions at RHIC and ...
Crop rotational diversity increases disease suppressive capacity of soil microbiomes
(2018-05-15)
Microbiomes can aid in the protection of hosts from infection and disease, but the mechanisms underpinning these functions in complex environmental systems remain unresolved. Soils contain microbiomes that influence plant ...
Cutaneous melanoma: From pathogenesis to therapy (Review)
(2018-02-27)
In less than 10 years, melanoma treatment has been
revolutionized with the approval of tyrosine kinase inhibitors
and immune checkpoint inhibitors, which have been shown
to have a significant impact on the prognosis of ...
COMT Inhibition Alters Cue-Evoked Oscillatory Dynamics during Alcohol Drinking in the Rat
(2018-10-12)
Alterations in the corticostriatal system have been implicated in numerous substance use disorders, including
alcohol use disorder (AUD). Adaptations in this neural system are associated with enhanced drug-seeking
behaviors ...
Cryo-electron tomography of periplasmic flagella in Borrelia burgdorferi reveals a distinct cytoplasmic ATPase complex.
(2018-11-09)
Periplasmic flagella are essential for the distinct morphology and motility of spirochetes. A
flagella-specific type III secretion system (fT3SS) composed of a membrane-bound export
apparatus and a cytosolic ATPase complex ...
Comparison of non-invasive to invasive oxygenation ratios for diagnosing acute respiratory distress syndrome following coronary artery bypass graft surgery: a prospective derivation-validation cohort study
(2018-11-27)
Objective: To determine if non-invasive oxygenation indices, namely peripheral capillary oxygen saturation (SpO2)/
fraction of inspired oxygen (Fi
O2) and partial pressure of alveolar oxygen (PAO2)/Fi
O2 may be used as ...
