submitted by rechisib 20 minutes ago - Topic: Health
An evaluation and consideration of health status of patient prior to any surgical treatment forms an essential part of comprehensive health care. Apparently well but in fact medically compromised patients usually present with unacceptable possibility of complications; whereas adequate pretreatmen...

Persistent overexpression of DNA methyltransferase 1 attenuating GABAergic inhibition in basolateral amygdala accounts for anxiety in rat offspring exposed perinatally to low-dose bisphenol A
submitted by oberd 20 minutes ago - Topic: Health
Substantial evidence indicates that predisposition to diseases can be acquired during early stages of development and interactions between environmental and genetic factors may be implicated in the onset of many pathological conditions. We have shown that perinatal exposure to bisphenol A (BPA) a...

Canine indolent and aggressive lymphoma: clinical spectrum with histologic correlation
submitted by odmerjaga 21 minutes ago - Topic: Agriculture
Sixty-three dogs with newly diagnosed lymphoma underwent complete staging and received the same chemotherapy. Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma was the leading histotype (44.4%), followed by peripheral T-cell lymphoma (20.6%). Indolent lymphomas accounted for 30.2% of cases. Most dogs with aggressive...

Vaspin prevents methylglyoxal-induced apoptosis in human vascular endothelial cells by inhibiting reactive oxygen species generation
submitted by spoz 21 minutes ago - Topic: Biology
Vaspin (visceral adipose tissue-derived serine protease inhibitor) is a novel adipocytokine found in visceral white adipose tissues of obese type 2 diabetic rats. We have previously shown that vaspin has anti-inflammatory and anti-migratory effects in vascular smooth muscle cells. Methylglyoxal (...



Epidemiological Study of the Incidence of Cancers Eligible for Proton or Carbon Ions Therapy: Methodology and Results of Recruitment Estimation
submitted by mnasawetz 25 minutes ago - Topic: Health
Hadrontherapy is an innovative form of radiotherapy using beams of protons or carbon ions able to destroy some radio-resistant tumours. Because these tumours are highly specific amongst all cancerous tumours, it is impossible to determine the incidence of these diseases from surveillance registri...

Blood vessels are concentrated within the implant surface concavities: a histologic study in rabbit tibia
submitted by mvonzannivild 25 minutes ago - Topic: Health
Angiogenesis plays a key role in bone formation and maintenance. Bone formation has been reported to initiate in the concavities rather than the convexities in a hydroxyapatite substratum and the implant threads of dental implants. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the number of the bl...

submitted by shohen76 27 minutes ago - Topic: Geography
A 30-day time course laboratory weathering experiment was conducted using rock samples collected from the West Fork of the Gallatin River watershed (WFW) in southwestern Montana, U.S.A. The goal of these experiments was to quantify the amount of labile nitrogen in rock samples collected from the ...

K-Pg extinction patterns in marine and freshwater environments: The impact winter model
submitted by shohen76 27 minutes ago - Topic: Geography
The Chicxulub asteroid impact produced massive extinction in terrestrial environments most likely through an intense heat pulse and subsequent widespread fires. Aquatic environments were shielded from this heat and fire but nevertheless showed massive extinction in marine environments and, for re...

Intra-specific genetic diversity, phytochemical analysis and antioxidant activities of a potential Himalayan Swertia (Swertia bimaculata Hook. F. & Thomas.)
submitted by sotesh 29 minutes ago - Topic: Agriculture
Swertia bimaculata Hook. F. Thomas. is an unexplored, less bitter species which is frequently mixed with Swertia chirayita as a substitute and adulterants. Continuous indiscriminate harvesting has enormously reduced its population strength in the natural habitat of Eastern Himalayas. The aim of t...
