4 min, P = .003), cardiac arrest time (75.5 ± 21.2 versus 95.7 ± 56.4 min, P < .001), SCP time (100.8 ± 25.5 versus 124 ± 23.2 min, P < .001), lower body circulation arrest time (17.2 ± 4.2 versus 62.5 ± 19.3 min, P < .001) were significantly shorter in the endo-balloon occlusion group. There were no perioperative neurological and renal compl…[Read more]

Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are the leading causes of morbidity and mortality globally. Co-occurrence of risk factors predisposes an individual to NCDs; the burden increases cumulatively with the number of risk factors. Our study aimed to examine the co-occurrence of NCD risk factors among adults in The Gambia. This study is based on a random…[Read more]

We will form judgements of confidence in the results using the Confidence in Network Meta-Analysis (CINeMA) methodology.

This network meta-analysis will establish which medicine, or combination of medicines, is most effective for reducing pain and safest for adults with low back pain.

The market for dietary supplements in the sports sector has been growing rapidly for several years, though there is still lacking evidence regarding their claimed benefits. One group is that of nitric oxide increasing supplements, so-called “NO-boosters,” which are claimed to improve the supply of oxygen and nutrients to the muscle by enhancing…[Read more]

Calcium-dependent protein kinases (CDPKs) function directly in plant development and stress responses. We used whole genome sequences and mRNA expression data to analyze the phylogenetic relationships, gene structure, collinearity, and differential expression of CDPKs in two differentially drought-tolerant potato varieties.

In total, we…[Read more]

If the current high level of irreproducibility is to be eliminated, it is essential that scientists engaged in pre-clinical research use “Completely randomised” (CR), “Randomised block” (RB), or one of the more specialised named experimental designs described in textbooks on the subject.This trial quantified the effects of ecologically-valid…[Read more]

Self-assembly of graft diblock copolymers is an actual topic in the development of materials with desirable properties. In the paper, microphase separation in a melt of the diblock copolymer with amphiphilic and non-amphiphilic blocks is investigated using the analytical theory in the strong segregation approximation. Non-amphiphilic blocks are…[Read more]
