al violence. We argue that by testing hypotheses regarding the targets and types of conflict we are better able to explain the causes and consequences of human conflict.

Several potential benefits have been attributed to the platelet-rich fibrin (PRF), including enhanced tissue healing properties. In this study, we hypothesized that the…[Read more]

Interaction of structural hemoglobin (Hb) variants with α- or β-globin defects are occasional in Southeast Asia. Herein we provide the first description of Hb Athens-Georgia (Hb A-Ga) in association with deletional Hb H disease, a novel combination previously undescribed in the population. Hematological, Hb and DNA analysis, and β-globin ha…[Read more]

5% obtained in real samples. These results demonstrate that the prepared magnetic imprinting nanospheres are effective for the selective separation of perfluorooctane sulfonate from real samples. The synthesis technique is an effective and facile method that is conducted in aqueous solution and at ambient temperature, which is low cost,…[Read more]

012). The pooled prevalence of late rebleeding was significantly lower for band ligation than clipping (0.09 vs 0.29; heterogeneity test, P=0.024). No significant difference of initial hemostasis rate was noted between the two groups. Pooled prevalence of need for transcatheter arterial embolization or surgery was significantly lower for band…[Read more]

Many individuals possess B cells capable of recognizing epitopes on the spike glycoprotein of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). In this issue of the JCI, Paschold and Simnica et al. interrogated the frequency of SARS-CoV-2-specific B cell receptor rearrangements in healthy subjects based on age and cancer status. The…[Read more]
