(2019-01-07)
In this Position Statement, the International Society of Sports Nutrition (ISSN) provides an objective and critical review of the literature pertinent to nutritional considerations for training and racing in single-stage ...
Is Motorized Treadmill Running Biomechanically Comparable to Overground Running? A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Cross-Over Studies
(2019-12-04)
Background Treadmills are often used in research, clinical practice, and training. Biomechanical investigations comparing treadmill and overground running report inconsistent findings. Objective This study aimed at comparing ...
Interventions to improve sarcopenia in cirrhosis: A systematic review
(2019-01-26)
BACKGROUND:
Sarcopenia, i.e., muscle loss is now a well-recognized complication of cirrhosis and in cases of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease can contribute to accelerate liver fibrosis leading to cirrhosis. Hence, it ...
It’s not what you expect: feedback negativity is independent of reward expectation and affective responsivity in a non-probabilistic task
(2017-03)
ERP studies commonly utilize gambling-based reinforcement tasks to elicit feedback negativity (FN) responses. This study used a pattern learning task in order to limit gambling-related fallacious reasoning and possible ...
MicroRNA expression profiles during cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L) fiber early development
(2017-03-22)
The role of microRNAs (miRNAs) during cotton fiber development remains unclear. Here, a total of
54 miRNAs belonging to 39 families were selected to characterize miRNA regulatory mechanism in eight different fiber development ...
Karyotype analysis and sex determination in Australian Brush-turkeys (Alectura lathami)
(2017-09-14)
Sexual differentiation across taxa may be due to genetic sex determination (GSD) and/or temperature sex determination (TSD). In many mammals, males are heterogametic (XY); whereas females are homogametic (XX). In most ...
Limited indications of tax stamp discordance and counterfeiting on cigarette packs purchased in tobacco retailers, 97 counties, USA, 2012
(2017-09-28)
Increasing the per-unit cost of tobacco products is one of the strongest interventions for tobacco control. In jurisdictions with higher taxes in the U.S., however, cigarette pack litter studies show a substantial proportion ...
Isolation and molecular identification of endophytic diazotrophs from seeds and stems of three cereal crops
(2017-10-30)
Ten strains of endophytic diazotroph were isolated and identified from the plants collected from three different agricultural crop species, wheat, rice and maize, using the nitrogen-free selective isolation conditions. The ...
Phylogenomic Reconstruction of the Neotropical Poison Frogs (Dendrobatidae) and Their Conservation
(2019-01-29)
The evolutionary history of the Dendrobatidae, the charismatic Neotropical poison frog family, remains in flux, even after a half-century of intensive research. Understanding the evolutionary relationships between dendrobatid ...
PTEN status is a crucial determinant of the functional outcome of combined MEK and mTOR inhibition in cancer
(2017-02-21)
Combined MAPK/PI3K pathway inhibition represents an attractive, albeit toxic, therapeutic strategy
in oncology. Since PTEN lies at the intersection of these two pathways, we investigated whether PTEN status determines the ...
