1 Persons with serious mental illness suffer from increased rates of comorbidity and die, on average, 25 years earlier than persons in the general population (1). Such morbidity has prompted searches for remedies, which have focused both on patients’ lifestyle (for example, smoking) and clinical practice (for example, physician-directed action). According to one recent study, compared with pati...

20 Isoflurane is a representative inhalant anesthesia used in laboratory animals. 21 However, isoflurane mediates respiratory depression and adverse clinical reactions 22 during induction. In the present study, we established a novel balanced anesthesia 23 method in mice that combined isoflurane anesthesia with midazolam and butorphanol 24 (MB). 25 Thirty-four male C57BL/6J mice received either...

The AdVance sling (American Medical Systems, Minnetonka, MN, United States of America) is a synthetic transobturator sling, which is a safe and effective minimally invasive treatment for mild to moderate stress urinary incontinence (SUI) in male patients. This article provides a step-by-step description of our technique for placement of the AdVance male sling, including details and nuances gain...

Twenty maize genotypes were replicated twice a randomized complete block design on research plot Prithu Technical College, Deukhuri Dang Nepal from June 2017 to September determine heritability, for different agronomic traits. Analysis variance showed significant differe...

Experiments to study beam dynamics for Relativistic Klystrons (RK) are being performed with a 1-MeV, 600-A induction accelerator beam. The RK is a RF Power source based on induction accelerator technology and conventional resonant output structures. Capable of generating 100's of MW/m at frequencies up to K-band, the RK has been proposed as a driver for a future linear collider in one version o...
