Trauma is the leading cause of death in the industrialized world between the ages of one and 40. A number of risk factors including age and gender have been implicated in this regard. It is therefore not surprising that the majority of trauma victims are young males. Their mortality rate following trauma is not only higher compared to females, but they are also more prone to subsequent sepsis. ...

The heart is incapable of storing significant oxygen or substrates and thus is entirely dependent on a continuous delivery of flow in order to support its high metabolic state. Following cardiac arrest, myocardial tissue oxygen tension falls rapidly and aerobic production of ATP ceases. Without re-oxygenation of the ischemic myocardium, return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) cannot be achieve...

In the present work a simple, precise, accurate and reproducible Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry method is developed and validated for separation, identification and quantification of three pharmacologically active compounds, β-sitosterol, Lupeol and Friedelin simultaneously in the methanolic leaf extract of Nyctanthes arbor-tristis and from its marketed formulation. These compounds were e...

The feeding preferences of the Formosan subterranean termite, Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki, were tested in three separate experiments on 28 different wood species. Experiment 1 was a multiple-choice test designed to test relative preferences among 24 wood species commercially available in New Orleans, LA. Experiment 2 was a similar study designed to test relative preferences among 21 wood spe...

Abstract Forests in the northeastern US are experiencing shifts community composition due to northward migration of warm-adapted tree species and certain species’ declines (for example, white ash eastern hemlock) invasive insects. Changes belowground fungal communities associated functions will inevitably follow. Therefore, we sought investigate relative importance two important characteristics...

Servi kanserine sebep olan Seiridium cardinale (W.W. Wagener)’nin Çanakkale’de limoni servilerde (Cupressus macrocarpa cv. Goldcrest) yaygınlığı, hastalık oranı, morfolojik ve patojenik karakterizasyonun saptanması amacıyla 2021-2022 yılları arasında sörvey gerçekleştirilmiştir. Etmenin alanının tamamında var olduğu oranının % 1.65 saptanmıştır. Ana gövde veya yan dallarda geriye doğru ölüm, da...

Aims. Survival rates for cardiac arrest in acute medicine are higher following outof-hospital restoration of spontaneous circulation (OH-ROSC). However, data pertaining to OH-ROSC is limited in the elderly population. We aimed to assess the predictors of neurological outcome among elderly patients with OH-ROSC. Methods. We retrospectively analyzed the data of patients 65 years and older who ach...

Northern white-cedar (Thuja occidentalis L.) is an important commercial species with a high wildlife value, both as a food source and habitat for many bird and mammal species. Concerns have been expressed about its decreasing abundance across its range, and especially in mixedwood stands, where it has to compete with several other species and can suffer from heavy browsing. In this study, we qu...
