A new species of Pionothele from Gobabeb, Namibia (Araneae, Mygalomorphae, Nemesiidae)
(2019-06-03)
The mygalomorph spider genus Pionothele Purcell, 1902 comprises two nominal species known only from
South Africa. We describe here a new species, Pionothele gobabeb sp. n., from Namibia. This new species is currently only ...
A Review of Studies Evaluating Insecticide Barrier Treatments for Mosquito Control From 1944 to 2018
(2019-06-26)
Background and Purpose: Barrier insecticide treatments have a long history in mosquito control programs but have been used more frequently in the United States in recent years for control of invasive “backyard” species ...
Structural characterisation of mangrove forests achieved through combining multiple sources of remote sensing data
(2019-11-14)
Temporal information on mangrove extent, age, structure and biomass provides an important contribution towards understanding the role of these ecosystems in terms of the services they provide (e.g., in relation to storage ...
The Perceived Availability of Online Social Support: Exploring the Contributions of Illness and Rural Identities in Adults with Chronic Respiratory Illness
(2019-12-29)
Joining an online social support group may increase perceived membership to a community,
but it does not guarantee that the community will be available when it is needed. This is especially
relevant for adults with Chronic ...
Physical activity is reduced prior to ventricular arrhythmiasin patients with a wearable cardioverter defibrillator
(2019-10-23)
The utility of accelerometer‐based activity data to identify patients at risk of sustained ventricular tachycardia (VT) or ventricular fibrillation (VF) has not previously been investigated. The aim of the current study ...
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 ...
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 ...
