BACKGROUND Drinking water insecurity and related health outcomes often disproportionately impact Indigenous communities internationally. Understanding media coverage of these water-related issues can provide insight into the ways in which public perceptions are shaped, with potential implications for decision-making and action. This study aimed to examine the extent, range, and nature of newspa...

Previous studies have demonstrated the presence of apoprotein (apo) E protein and message in arterial lesions. To determine the source of the synthesized apoE, we performed simultaneous in situ hybridization and immunocytochemistry on human and rabbit atherosclerotic tissue. Studies of serial sections of aortic atherosclerotic lesions from humans and hypercholesterolemic New Zealand White rabbi...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate seasonal patterns of cardiovascular death in adults, which are possibly influenced by hot and dry climate, in a rural setting of Burkina Faso. METHODS Cause of death was ascertained by verbal autopsy. Age-specific death rates (cardiovascular death and all-cause) by month of death were calculated. Seasonal trends and temperature effects were modelled with Poisson regressi...

OBJECTIVE To report the performance of plastic surgery in the treatment of complex wounds in a tertiary hospital, analyzing its characteristics, types of injuries and approaches adopted, with emphasis on surgical treatment. METHODS We conducted a etrospective analysis of patients with complex wounds treated by plastic surgery in a tertiary hospital in a period of five years (2006 to 2010). Da...

Quorum sensing is a widespread phenomenon in prokaryotes that helps them to communicate among themselves and with eukaryotes. It is driven through quorum sensing signaling molecules (QSSMs) in a density dependent manner that assists in numerous biological functions like biofilm formation, virulence factors secretion, swarming motility, bioluminescence, etc. Despite immense implications, dedicat...

AIMS The purpose of this study was to validate the diagnosis of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) in the Danish Hip Arthroplasty Register (DHR). PATIENTS AND METHODS We identified a cohort of patients from the DHR who had undergone primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) since 1 January 2005 and followed them until first-time revision, death, emigration or until 31 December 2012. Revision for...

In 166 AD, an epidemic of smallpox struck Rome, Italy. The Greek physician Galen, who had already acquired a reputation for his dissections, fled the city (Nutton 2002). The abandonment of patients during epidemics was not necessarily frowned on by fellow physicians, or, for that matter, the population at large. During the Middle Ages, however, chroniclers started to criticize physicians for ab...
