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 ...
Construction and characterization of a bacterial artificial chromosome library for Gossypium mustelinum
(2018-05-17)
A bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) library for G. mustelinum Miers ex G. Watt (AD4)
was constructed. Intact nuclei from G. mustelinum (AD4) were used to isolate high molecular
weight DNA, which was partially cleaved ...
Dehiscence and embolization of CorMatrix tricuspid valve replacement in the setting of infective endocarditis: a case report
(2018-01-31)
Background:
Due to increased morbidity and mortality, prosthetic valve infective endocarditis (IE) with dehiscence requires urgent intervention. Early identification and therapy may prevent embolization.
Case summary:
A ...
Cooccurrence of prey species alters the impact of predators on prey performance through multiple mechanisms
(2018-08-11)
When prey are differentially affected by intra and interspecific competition, the cooccurrence of multiple prey species alters the per capita availability of food for a particular prey species which could alter how prey ...
A Hydroclimatological Analysis of Precipitation in the Ganges–Brahmaputra–Meghna River Basin
(2018-09-29)
Understanding seasonal precipitation input into river basins is important for linking large-scale climate drivers with societal water resources and the occurrence of hydrologic hazards such as floods and riverbank erosion. ...
Deletion of BmoR affects the expression of genes related to thiol/disulfide balance in Bacteroides fragilis
(2018-09-26)
Bacteroides fragilis, an opportunistic pathogen and commensal bacterium in the gut, is one the most
aerotolerant species among strict anaerobes. However, the mechanisms that control gene regulation in
response to oxidative ...
Disability Measurement for Korean Community-Dwelling Adults With Stroke: Item-Level Psychometric Analysis of the Korean Longitudinal Study of Ageing
(2018-04-30)
Objective: To investigate the psychometric properties of the activities of daily living (ADL) instrument used in the analysis of
Korean Longitudinal Study of Ageing (KLoSA) dataset.
Methods: A retrospective study was ...
Effect of Increased Damping in Subordinate Oscillator Arrays
(2018)
Previous literature has shown that large structures with a significant number
of smaller attached structures exhibit much higher apparent damping than was predicted
by models. Further research into this effect led to the ...
First Aid and Pre-Hospital Management of Venomous Snakebites
(2018-04-24)
Background: Antivenom is the definitive treatment for venomous snakebites, but is
expensive and not available in many rural and poorly developed regions. Timely transportation
to facilities that stock and administer ...
Exercise-heat stress with and without water replacement alters brain structures and impairs visuomotor performance
(2018-06-26)
Effects of exercise‐heat stress with and without water replacement on brain structure and visuomotor performance were examined. Thirteen healthy adults (23.6 ± 4.2 years) completed counterbalanced 150 min trials of ...
