OBJECTIVE Clinical predictors for acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) have been studied in few prospective studies. Although transfusions are common in the intensive care unit, the role of submassive transfusion in non-trauma-related ARDS has not been studied. We describe here the clinical predictors of ARDS risk and mortality including the role of red cell transfusion. DESIGN Observat...

Abstract A series of batch experiments were carried out to investigate the effect temperature on improvement bio-hythane production, thermodynamic characteristics, and decolorization efficiency anaerobic degradation C.I. acid red 88 containing wastewater. The maximum accumulated bioH 2 gas reached 0.43 l/g VS under 65 °C target dye was hydrolyzed with a 98% color removal. Under mesophilic tempe...

background: the presence of even a very small quantity of dye in water bodies is undesirable and affects the water bodies. dye removal from industrial waste water is significant; hence in this study, a material that is an economical waste product was employed to test its acid dye removing capacity from aqueous solution. methods: in this study, batch mode experiments were performed in the sorpti...

Mutations in the hepatocyte nuclear factor-1alpha (HNF-1alpha) gene cause the type 3 form of maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY3), which is characterized by a severe impairment of insulin secretion. In addition to disease-associated mutations, three common amino acid polymorphisms have been identified in the HNF-1alpha gene: Ile/Leu27, Ala/Val 98, and Ser/Asn487. We have addressed the q...

This study analyzes research articles about open access (OA) indexed by the Scopus database, published from 2001 to 2015, in order to: (a) propose a categorization scheme about OA; (b) categorize the scientific production about OA; and (c) identify research trends on OA through disciplines at international level over time. The authors used descriptive statistical methods and deductive content a...
