Abstract Introduction Wrist actigraphy is a standard for monitoring sleep in the field; however, data quality reduced if participants remove device. The Actigpatch novel, adhesive water-resistant wearable that we have previously demonstrated as comparable to wrist traditional sleep-wake estimation. Here compare assessment of nonparametric activity indexes. Methods While following fixed schedule...

Biofilm is a complex community of single or different types of microorganisms (bacteria, viruses, fungi, protozoa) attached to a surface and stick to each other through production of extracellular matrix. Salmonella typhi forms biofilm on cholesterol gallstones resulting in carrier state. Once formed, biofilm is difficult to treat. To date cholecystectomy is the only cure for this condition. Ma...

First published March 27, 2008; doi:10.1152/japplphysiol.00025.2008.— The resonant Raman enhancement of hemoglobin (Hb) in the Q band region allows simultaneous identification of oxyand deoxy-Hb. The hem...

The manuscript discusses SO2 changes observed by OMI and links them to the national regulations of SO2 emissions. The paper demonstrates again the usefulness of satellite monitoring of air pollutions in China, the world largest SO2 emitter. It is shown that major changes in OMI records are linked to the emission reduction legislation. In general, the paper is well written, although some places ...

The use of biomass indoor Honai (traditional house) in Wamena have been conducted for several decades and become a traditional habit of Honai occupants. Since air temperature at night in Wamena Regency is cold the inhabitans burn the Kasuari woods to warm their body. As a result, they continuously inhale the Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) and Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) and some contaminated air in Honai room...

OBJECTIVE To assess the health risks associated with exposure to particulate matter (PM10), sulphur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), carbon monoxide (CO) and ozone (O3). DESIGN The study is an ecological study that used the year 2014 hourly ambient pollution data. SETTING The study was conducted in an industrial area located in Pretoria West, South Africa. The area accommodates a coal...

Among the tuberculosis (TB) vaccine candidates, SO2 is the prototype of the first live-attenuated vaccine that recently entered into clinical trials. To investigate the capacity of SO2 to stimulate an appropriate immune response in vitro within a human immunological context, a comparative analysis of the effects promoted by SO2, the current Bacille Calmette-Guerin (BCG) vaccine and Mycobacteriu...
