High major histocompatibility complex class I polymorphism despite bottlenecks in wild and domesticated populations of the zebra finch (Taeniopygia guttata)
(2015-12)
Background: Two subspecies of zebra finch, Taeniopygia guttata castanotis and T. g. guttata are native to Australia and
the Lesser Sunda Islands, respectively. The Australian subspecies has been domesticated and is now ...
Improving Low-Relief Coastal LiDAR DEMs with Hydro-Conditioning of Fine-Scale and Artificial Drainages
(2015-11-23)
Improvements in Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) technology and spatial analysis
of high-resolution digital elevation models (DEMs) have advanced the accuracy and
diversity of applications for coastal hazards and ...
Hemodynamic-GUIDEd management of Heart Failure (GUIDE-HF)
(2019-04-25)
In that study, incremental reductions in the PA pressures in the monitored arm were associated with both reduction in the frequency of HFH and improvements in health-related quality of life among patients with both preserved ...
Increased Coronary Artery Disease Severity in Black Women Undergoing Coronary Bypass Surgery
(2015)
Race and sex disparities are believed to play an important
role in heart disease. The purpose of this study was to examine the
association between race, sex, and number of diseased vessels at the
time of coronary artery ...
Impact of United States political sanctions on international collaborations and research in Iran
(2019-06-17)
International research collaborations improve individual,
institutional and governmental capacities to respond
to health crises and inequalities but may be greatly
affected by political environments. Iran ranks highly
in ...
Elevated Endogenous Erythropoietin Concentrations Are Associated with Increased Risk of Brain Damage in Extremely Preterm Neonates
(2015-03-20)
Background
We sought to determine, in very preterm infants, whether elevated perinatal erythropoietin
(EPO) concentrations are associated with increased risks of indicators of brain damage,
and whether this risk differs ...
EphrinA1-Fc attenuates myocardial ischemia/ reperfusion injury in mice
(2017-12-13)
EphrinA1, a membrane-bound receptor tyrosine kinase ligand expressed in healthy car- diomyocytes, is lost in injured cells following myocardial infarction. Previously, we have reported that a single intramyocardial injection ...
Functional imaging of cognition in an old-old population: A case for portable functional near-infrared spectroscopy
(2017-10-12)
In this study, functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) was used to record brain activa- tion during cognitive testing in older individuals (88±6yo; N = 19) living in residential care communities. This population, ...
