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 ...
Compact NMR relaxometry of human blood and blood components
(2016-10)
Nuclear magnetic resonance relaxometry is a uniquely practical and versatile implementation of NMR technology. Because it does not depend on chemical shift resolution, it can be performed using low- field compact instruments ...
Comparative Transcriptomics of Strawberries (Fragaria spp.) Provides Insights into Evolutionary Patterns
(2016-12-15)
Multiple closely related species with genomic sequences provide an ideal system for studies on comparative and evolutionary genomics, as well as the mechanism of speciation. The whole genome sequences of six strawberry ...
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 ...
Comprehensive analysis of TCP transcription factors and their expression during cotton (Gossypium arboreum) fiber early development
(2016-02-09)
TCP proteins are plant-specific transcription factors implicated to perform a variety of physiological functions during plant growth and development. In the current study, we performed for the first time the comprehensive ...
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 ...
Computational identification of microRNAs associated to both epithelial to mesenchymal transition and NGAL/MMP-9 pathways in bladder cancer
(2016-11-08)
Bladder cancer is one of the leading cancer of the urinary tract. It is often diagnosed at advanced stage of the disease. To date, no specific and effective early detection biomarkers are available. Cancer development and ...
