Bats are a diverse radiation of mammals of enduring interest for understanding the evolution of sensory specialization. Colour vision variation among species has previously been linked to roosting pre…
The use of Lactobacillus rhamnosus GR-1 and micronutrients has been associated with a preserved immune function among people living with HIV. However, use of these products in the developing world rem…
The aim of this paper is to present a framework for advanced medical video delivery services, through network and patient-state awareness. Under this scope a context-aware medical networking platform …
Retrograde drilling of osteochondral lesions has obtained acceptable results in the initial stage. Intraoperatively not all lesions are accessible with the arthroscopic technique, despite being readil…
PURPOSE: To determine the regime of linear contrast enhancement in human first-pass perfusion cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging to improve accuracy in myocardial perfusion quantification…
Recently many algorithms for matching three-dimensional medical data have been developed. Inter- and intramodal fusion of data adds valuable information for planning, controlling and evaluating therap…
In this methodological, pilot study the usefulness of computer aided photograph analyses (CAPA) was tested for the demonstration of intraoral tissue changes, registered by standardized, clinical close…
Even though parasitic flatworms are one of the most species-rich groups of hermaphroditic organisms, we know virtually nothing of their mating systems (selfing or kin-mating rates) in nature. Hence, w…
The aim of this study was to determine the influence of a 10-month training programme on the linear, temporal and angular characteristics of the fore and hind limbs at the trot in the Andalusian horse…
BACKGROUND: Aerobic training (AT) is a promising intervention for mild cognitive impairment (MCI).OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effects of AT on cognition and regional brain glucose metabolism (rBGM) in …
In this work, we describe a semiautomated computer method to evaluate the activity of a common drug solvent, dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), on in vitro Giardia lamblia-host cell interaction. To compare th…
This study investigated the pyrolysis of lignin pyrolysis in a temperature region from 200 to 800 °C, aiming to understand influence of pyrolysis temperature on evolution of structures of the resultin…
Glomerular filtration rate (GFR), which measures the amount of plasma filtered through the kidney within a given time, is an essential and clinically important indicator of kidney function. Here, we r…
Eight highly trained male kayakers were studied in an attempt to examine whether critical power (CP), based upon four tests, could be determined from a combination of any two tests. The mean age of th…
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of alar base cinch suture in Le Fort I osteotomy in mandibular prognathism with and without asymmetry.MATERIAL AND METHODS: Forty pati…
OBJECTIVE: To compare the accuracy of 3 computer-aided surgery systems for maxillofacial reconstruction.DESIGN: Evaluation of 3 computer-aided surgery systems: StealthStation, VectorVision, and Voxim.…
A novel avian influenza A (H7N9) virus causes severe human infections and was first identified in March 2013 in China. The H7N9 virus has exhibited two epidemiological peaks of infection, occurring in…
This paper explores the relationship between BMI and several health conditions among Union Army veterans who had medical examinations between 1891 and 1905. We find that BMI, when used as a proxy of n…
Accurate curvature estimation in discrete surfaces is an important problem with numerous applications. Curvature is an indicator of ridges and can be used in applications such as shape analysis and re…
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to compare body composition measures in neonates of women who were overweight/obese (body mass index, > or = 25 kg/m2) versus women who were lean/average (body…
