ication of suggested LAV/IVC index cut-offs did not predict lateralized PA with the high accuracy previously reported.

Based on our cohort, we conclude that application of suggested LAV/IVC index cut-offs did not predict lateralized PA with the high accuracy previously reported.Anorexia nervosa (AN) is an eating disorder characterized by low…[Read more]

Bowel obstruction patients are at increased risk of emergency surgery and have poor nutritional and physical conditions. These patients could benefit from prehabilitation and prevention of emergency surgery.

In this paper, we report extraction of cashew nut shell liquid (CNSL) from cashew nut shell waste (CNSW) and further use of residues for generation of activated carbon for removal of heavy metals and methylene blue (MB). Solvent extraction yielded 24.6 ± 0.4%, 38.2 ± 0.4% and 40.1 ± 0.9% for petroleum ether, hexane and ethanol respectively.…[Read more]

These criticisms raise questions for critics and proponents, regarding, for example, equal versus differential intrinsic moral value of different sentient animals (including humans), problems of natural and human-caused suffering of wild animals and…[Read more]

Additional use of cell death markers revealed that HPR encompass apoptotic foci where epithelial extrusion/shedding occurs. The protocol described here provides a simple but effective approach to visualize and quantify micro-erosions in the intestine, which is a very useful tool in disease models, in which the intestinal epithelial barrier is…[Read more]
