BACKGROUND Grey matter (GM) abnormalities are robust features of schizophrenia and of people at ultra high-risk for psychosis. However the extent to which neuroanatomical alterations are evident in non-clinical subjects with isolated psychotic experiences is less clear. METHODS Individuals (mean age 20 years) with (n = 123) or without (n = 125) psychotic experiences (PEs) were identified from...

Fipronil insecticide dissipated in California rice fields, producing half-lives of 10.5 to 125 h in water and 44.5 to 533 h in soil, depending on the formulation applied and the resulting differences in water solubility. The major degradation products were desthiofipronil in water and fipronil-sulfide in soil, while the sulfone and amide were less abundant. Fipronil was photolyzed rapidly to de...

Genotype, environment and agronomic practices are key determinants of crop growth productivity which important to provide food, feed, raw materials income small holder farmers in Africa. The study was conducted at Crop museum, Sokoine University Agriculture, Morogoro, Tanzania investigate physiological response groundnut calcium phosphorus nutrition among three improved genotypes Mangaka (G1), ...

Cellgevity® is a supplement reported to comprise mostly D-Ribose and L-Cysteine enriched glutathione, known be an effective antioxidant that improves spermatozoa quality. However, its effect on milt characteristics has not been reported. This study, therefore, aimed evaluate the effects of quality catfish (Clarias gariepinus) extended in sodium citrate during chilled storage. Pooled sample from...

Kano et al. proved that if P0, P1, . . . , Pk−1 are pairwise disjoint collections of points in general position, then there exist spanning trees T0, T1, . . . , Tk−1, of P0, P1, . . . , Pk−1, respectively, such that the edges of T0 ∪ T1 ∪ · · · ∪ Tk−1 intersect in at most (k − 1)n − k(k − 1)/2 points. In this paper we show that this result is asymptotically tight within a factor of 3/2. To prov...

INTRODUCTION Microcirculatory blood flow, and notably gut perfusion, is important in the development of multiple organ failure in septic shock. We compared the effects of dopexamine and norepinephrine (noradrenaline) with those of epinephrine (adrenaline) on gastric mucosal blood flow (GMBF) in patients with septic shock. The effects of these drugs on oxidative stress were also assessed. METH...
