To investigate feasibility of recruitment, tablet use in intervention delivery, and use of self-report outcome measures and to analyze the effect of Energy Conservation plus Problem-Solving Therapy versus Health ...
Refractory Heparin-Induced Thrombocytopenia With Cerebral Venous Sinus Thrombosis Treated With IVIg, Steroids, and a Combination of Anticoagulants: A Case Report
(2019-04-02)
Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) type II is caused by antibody production that bind complexes between heparin
and platelet factor 4 leading to platelet consumption and thrombosis. In a small subset of cases referred ...
Re-examining the premise of isobaric collisions and a novel method to measure the chiral magnetic effect
(2019-01-22)
In these proceedings we show that the premise of the isobaric and collisions to search for the chiral magnetic effect (CME) may not hold as originally anticipated due to large uncertainties in the isobaric nuclear ...
Recent introductions reveal differential susceptibility to parasitism across an evolutionary mosaic
(2019-08-14)
Parasitism can represent a potent agent of selection, and introduced parasites have
the potential to substantially alter their new hosts' ecology and evolution. While sig‐
nificant impacts have been reported for parasites ...
Using Gamification and Social Incentives to Increase Physical Activity and Related Social Cognition among Undergraduate Students in Shanghai, China
(2019-03-08)
Gamification and social incentives are promising strategies to increase the effectiveness of web-based physical activity (PA) interventions by improving engagement. In this study, we designed a PA intervention integrating ...
Variation in pigmentation gene expression is associated with distinct aposematic color morphs in the poison frog Dendrobates auratus
(2019-04-18)
Background:
Color and pattern phenotypes have clear implications for survival and reproduction in many species. However, the mechanisms that produce this coloration are still poorly characterized, especially at the genomic ...
Voluntary Restoration: Mitigation's Silent Partner in the Quest to Reverse Coastal Wetland Loss in the USA
(2019-08-28)
Coastal ecosystems are under pressure from a vast array of anthropogenic stressors, including development and climate change, resulting in significant habitat losses globally. Conservation policies are often implemented ...
Validity and reliability of telephone administration of the patient-specific functional scale for the assessment of recovery from snakebite envenomation
(2019-12-13)
Objectives:
Although more than 1.8 million people survive snakebite envenomation each year, their recovery is understudied. Obtaining long-term follow-up is challenging in both high- and low-resource settings. The ...
