Helium isotopes in Dead Sea Transform waters
submitted by shohraaz 9 minutes ago - Topic: Geography
The concentrations and isotopic compositions of helium, and relative abundances of CO2, were studied in brines and freshwater springs, groundwater wells, and gas bubbles, in and around the Dead Sea Transform (DST) fault system. The latter forms part of the plate boundary between the African and A...

Le cancer de la vésicule biliaire peut être de mauvais pronostic, avec notamment la survenue de métastases à distance. Nous décrivons le cas d’une patiente ayant eu une hépatectomie élargie pour adénocarcinome de la vésicule biliaire, présentant une récidive métastatique cutanée au...

A detailed method for preparation of a functional and flexible blood–brain barrier model using porcine brain endothelial cells
submitted by shamonmotthiwt 14 minutes ago - Topic: Health
The blood–brain barrier (BBB) is formed by the endothelial cells of cerebral microvessels and forms the critical interface regulating molecular flux between blood and brain. It contributes to homoeostasis of the microenvironment of the central nervous system and protection from pathogens and to...

Exogenous bFGF promotes articular cartilage repair via up-regulation of multiple growth factors
submitted by sagota 15 minutes ago - Topic: Health
To investigate the roles of exogenous basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) on the repair of full-thickness articular cartilage defects in rabbits. In the present study, a double-layered collagen membrane sandwiched with bFGF-loaded-nanoparticles between a dense layer and a loose layer, was impla...



Straight Up”: Enhancing Rapport and Therapeutic Alliance with Previously-Detained Youth in the Delivery of Mental Health Services
submitted by takwefe37 17 minutes ago - Topic: Health
A strong therapeutic alliance has been shown to improve mental health treatment outcomes in adults, but this topic has not been fully explored with youth. Adolescents, particularly justice-involved youth, stand to benefit greatly from an improved treatment experience. One quality which can improv...

Testing a Hierarchical Model of Distress Tolerance
submitted by monceit 22 minutes ago - Topic: Health
Distress tolerance (DT) has been suggested as an individual difference factor with transdiagnostic importance. To date, determining the transdiagnostic status of DT has been limited due to the lack of consensus regarding the construct’s conceptualization. Zvolensky et al. (Current Directions in...

Rumination and Anxiety Sensitivity in Preadolescent Girls: Independent, Combined, and Specific Associations with Depressive and Anxiety Symptoms
submitted by monceit 22 minutes ago - Topic: Health
Rumination and anxiety sensitivity are posited cognitive vulnerabilities in the development and/or maintenance of depression and anxiety and they have been examined separately in youth, and primarily in adolescents. Depression and anxiety are also highly comorbid. In 125 preadolescent girls (aged...

Effect of specific gait modifications on medial knee loading, metabolic cost and perception of task difficulty
submitted by rabhawett 23 minutes ago - Topic: Health
The metabolic cost and cognitive demand of altering natural gait have not been well studied. The purpose of this investigation was to assess three modified patterns – toe out, ipsilateral trunk lean and a medial weight shift at the foot – on the basis of 1) medial knee joint load reduction, 2...

Associations between muscle structure and contractile performance in seniors
submitted by rabhawett 23 minutes ago - Topic: Health
Changes in muscle structure due to aging occur in a process known as sarcopenia. These changes can alter muscle mechanics during contraction that may limit mobility in seniors. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of sarcopenia on muscle fascicle length, pennation and belly thi...

A review of decision support, risk communication and patient information tools for thrombolytic treatment in acute stroke: lessons for tool developers
submitted by wf1321 24 minutes ago - Topic: Health
Tools to support clinical or patient decision-making in the treatment/management of a health condition are used in a range of clinical settings for numerous preference-sensitive healthcare decisions. Their impact in clinical practice is largely dependent on their quality across a range of domains...

British residents' views about general practice care in France -- a telephone survey
submitted by wf1321 24 minutes ago - Topic: Health
Many studies have been published over the past decade on patients' views about the provision of health care. Though there is a high level of migration within the European Union, there are no studies on migrants' views about the provision of care in the country to which they moved. Given the wide ...

Small-scale ductile shear zones as transposed rheologically weak domains: a numerical modeling investigation and practical application
submitted by dittja 28 minutes ago - Topic: Geography
We test the hypothesis that small ductile shear zones are developed from initial rheologically weak domains. We regard weak domains as ellipsoidal inhomogeneities and apply Eshelby’s formalism for power-law viscous materials to investigate the kinematics and finite strain evolution of the parti...

MicroRNA-132 suppresses autoimmune encephalomyelitis by inducing cholinergic anti-inflammation: a new Ahr-based exploration
submitted by doasakm 32 minutes ago - Topic: Health
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a small group of RNAs that are emerging as a new avenue by which autoimmune diseases may be modulated. Accumulating evidence shows that miRNAs are involved in the pathogenesis of MS; however, the interaction of miRNAs with environmentally responsive transcription factors th...

Success of the 4 Pillars Toolkit for Influenza and Pneumococcal Vaccination in Adults
submitted by nzoemo 34 minutes ago - Topic: Health
Standing order programs (SOPs) allowing nonphysician personnel to assess patients’ immunization status and administer vaccines without an individual physician order are a proven method of increasing adult vaccinations, yet they are underutilized by primary care physicians. In a before-and-after...
