The equatorial plasma bubble (EPB) phenomenon is an important component of space weather as the ionospheric irregularities that develop within EPBs can have major detrimental effects on operation satellite-based communication and navigation systems. Although name suggests occur in ionosphere, nature instability gives rise to such bubbles may extend over a large part global ionosphere between ge...

This contribution is the first of a two-part investigation into an unseasonal post-sunset equatorial F-region irregularity (EFI) event over the Southeast Asian region on the evening of 28 July 2014. Ground-based GPS scintillation data, space-based GPS radio occultation (RO) data, and ionosonde data show the existence of EFIs shortly after sunset over a region spanning 30° in longitude and 40° i...

Heart Failure (HF) is a significant health care concern with in both the United States and Europe. While there are a number of mechanisms that lead to HF, a decline in the response to exercise is common amongst the various etiologies. Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) is a well established diagnostic and prognostic tool in the HF population. This exercise testing technique allows for the ...

OBJECTIVE The alpha 1-adrenoreceptor blocker doxazosin, which in the ALLHAT trial was associated with a greater risk of heart failure than the diuretic chlorthalidone, induces the apoptosis of human and murine cardiomyocytes regardless of alpha 1-adrenoreceptor blockade. We aimed to throw light on the mechanism of this process. METHODS Murine cardiomyocytes (HL-1) and primary cultures of huma...

Anatomic variations of the extensor tendons of the forearm are frequent and its knowledge is important to assess the diseased and traumatized hand. During routine cadaveric dissection in the Department of Anatomy, Kasturba Medical College, Mangalore, India, we came across unusual variations in the left upper limb of a 51-years-old male cadaver. The variants are, the complete absence of the exte...

Exposure to endocrine disruptors, used as additives, preservatives, plasticisers and solvents in numerous consumer products, might cause adverse health effects. Humans exposed to these chemicals, metabolise and excrete them mostly via urine. Urinary metabolite concentrations are used as biomarkers of exposure. We evaluated the exposure of 4-month pregnant women and their children at 2 years of ...

wHo 1984). Mosquito-infested latrines present a difficult control problem. Conventional methods, using insecticides or larvicidal oils, have given good results, but are expensive, require frequent application on a routine basis, and may be hampered by problems of resistance (World Health Organization 1984). As an alternative, Reiter (1978) suggested that a layer of expanded polystyrene balls (E...

Kettlebell exercises are more efficient for an athlete to increase his or her muscle strength. However it carries the risk of injury especially in the beginners. A 39 year old gentleman came to our clinic with radial sided wrist pain following kettlebell exercises. Clinically patient had swelling and tenderness over the tendons in the first dorsal wrist compartment, besides Finklesten test was ...
