The application of a joint method of recording seismic and infrasound signals generated during ice calving from the terminal part of the outlet glaciers to identify the process of iceberg formation is considered.For many years, the Kola Branch of the Geophysical Service of the Russian Academy of Sciences Blow Dryers has been developing technology f
Possible Involvement of Endogenous 5-HT in Aggravation of Cerulein-Induced Acute Pancreatitis in Mice
The aim of the present study was to elucidate the pathogenic Accessory Set (5/CN) role of endogenous 5-HT in pancreatitis.Injections of cerulein at hourly intervals caused edematous pancreatitis in mice characterized by hyperenzymemia and histological alterations.While the cerulein-induced hyperenzymemia was attenuated in mice pretreated with p-CPA
Platelet-rich plasma loaded nerve guidance conduit as implantable biocompatible materials for recurrent laryngeal nerve regeneration
Abstract Vocal cord paralysis caused by recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) injury during thyroidectomy results in hoarseness, aspiration, and dyspnea.We evaluated the usefulness of nerve guidance conduits (NGCs) constructed from an asymmetric polycaprolactone (PCL)/Pluronic F127 porous membrane and filled with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) for functional
Breeding systems in some representatives of the genus Lycium (Solanaceae)
The development of the ovule and the embryo sac of five of the 17 species of Lycium and of one hybrid, recorded for southern Africa, was investigated.All specimens of four of the species and the hybrid (between a hermaphroditic and a functionally dioecious species) were found to be functionally dioecious: they express only one Accessory Set (5/CN)
The contribution of spatial analysis to understanding HIV/TB mortality in children: a structural equation modelling approach
Background: South Africa accounts for more than a sixth of the global population of people infected with HIV and TB, ranking her highest in HIV/TB co-infection worldwide.Remote areas often bear the greatest burden of morbidity and mortality, yet there are spatial differences within rural settings.Objectives: The primary aim was to investigate HIV/T
