The identification of the suitable areas for common oat (Avena sativa L.) and naked oat (Avena nuda L.) in China using Multi-Criteria Evaluation (MCE) approach based on GIS is presented in the current article. Climate, topography, soil, land use and oat variety databases were created. Relevant criteria, suitability levels and their weights for each factor were defined. Then the criteria maps we...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Limited data suggest that intracerebral hemorrhage related to oral anticoagulant therapy (OAT ICH) is associated with more hemorrhage expansion and a worse prognosis than spontaneous ICH (SICH). METHODS We examined patients enrolled in the placebo arm of the CHANT study, a prospective randomized trial of a putative neuroprotectant in patients with ICH. All patients had ...

Background: Oral anticoagulation treatment (OAT) such as warfarin therapy is recommended for older adults with atrial fibrillation, heart failure, or who are at risk for venous thromboembolism. Despite its proven benefits, older adults report both dissatisfaction with OAT and reduced quality of life that can potentially lead to low adherence to OAT and decreased treatment efficacy. Objective: T...

Whole-grain foods such as oats may protect against colorectal cancer and have benefits on inflammatory bowel disease and coeliac disease. The present study aimed to systematically review the literature describing intervention studies that investigated the effects of oats or oat bran on risk factors for bowel disease. A literature search was conducted using Embase, Medline and the Cochrane libra...

The aim of the present study was to develop a rapid method for electronic nose for online quality control of oat milk. Analysis by electronic nose and bacteriological measurements were performed to analyze spoilage kinetics of oat milk samples stored at room temperature and refrigerated conditions for up to 15 days. Principal component analysis (PCA), Discriminant Factorial Analysis (DFA) and S...

Residual vein thrombosis (RVT) indicates a prothrombotic state and is useful for evaluating the optimal duration of oral anticoagulant treatment (OAT). Patients with a first episode of deep vein thrombosis, treated with OAT for 3 months, were managed according to RVT findings. Those with RVT were randomized to either stop or continue anticoagulants for 9 additional months, whereas in those with...

introduction: in this study, we investigated the role of n-methyl-d-aspartate (nmda) receptors in the ventral hippocampus (vh) and their possible interactions with gabaa system on anxiety-like behaviors. methods: we used an elevated-plus maze test (epm) to assess anxiety-like behaviors and locomotor activity in male wistar rats. results: the results showed that intra-vh infusions of different d...

Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with a high risk of thromboembolic stroke and oral anticoagulation therapy (OAT) is able to reduce the rate of ischemic events. Nevertheless, the actual benefit of prolonged OAT after successful radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) is not clear yet. Methods Scientific investigations were assumed suitable if they assessed the clinical signif...

The in vivo acetylator phenotype as well as N-acetyltransferase (NAT) and O-acetyltransferase (OAT) activities in cytosols from cultured uroepithelia were determined in 25 urological patients. In vivo acetylator phenotypes were categorized by determining the amounts of 5-acetylamino-6-formylamino-3-methyluracil (AFMU) and 1-methylxanthine in urine after the administration of a 200 mg dose of ca...
