Assemblages of ostracodes from sediment cores illuminate lake-level history at decadal to centennial timescales during the late Holocene at Lake Tanganyika, East Africa. The ostracode-based lake-level curves for several cores resemble both each other and the only previously published lake-level record of comparable resolution for Lake Tanganyika during this interval, successfully reconstructing...

BACKGROUND Ventilators used for noninvasive ventilation (NIV) must be able to synchronize in the presence of system leaks. We compared the ability of 7 ICU ventilators and 3 dedicated NIV ventilators to compensate for leaks during pediatric NIV. METHODS Using a lung simulator, we compared the Maquet Servo-i, Dräger V500, Dräger Carina, Covidien PB840, Respironics V60, Respironics Vision, GE H...

Introducción: las Guías internacionales para el diagnóstico del linfoma anaplásico asociado a implantes mamarios (AL) fueron recientemente publicadas. Su objetivo es optimizar los procedimientos lograr un exacto. Dado que la presentación más frecuente presencia de líquido periprotésico (LP), autores resaltan utilidad evaluación citológica. Sin embargo, ellos consideran citometría flujo (CF) com...

We thank Xue et al. for their comments [1] regarding our article on the peri-interventional visualization of percutaneous dilatational tracheostomy (PDT) [2]. The authors noted that we did not provide diameters for the endotracheal tubes used in the bronchoscopy group. The endotracheal tubes had an inner diameter of 7.5 mm for female and 8.0 or 8.5 mm for male patients. Therefore, the differenc...

introduction the main perspective in seasonal prediction of precipitation is presentation of a qualitative prediction for upcoming seasons. the information gained from such predictions can be used for decision making in various disciplines such as agriculture, water management and hydropower production. besides, it can help us reduce the adverse effects of climatic changes like drought and floo...

The treatment of severe alopecia areata (AA) remains highly challenging. A breakdown immune privilege the hair follicle resulting in development an admixed infiltrate antigen-presenting cells and CD4+ CD8+ T lymphocytes is hypothesized to represent important driver AA (Pratt et al., 2017Pratt C.H. King Jr., L.E. Messenger A.G. Christiano A.M. Sundberg J.P. Alopecia areata.Nat Rev Dis Primers. 2...

16 Replication competent poxvirus vectors with an attenuation phenotype and with high 17 immunogenic capacity of the foreign expressed antigen are being pursuit as novel 18 vaccine vectors against different pathogens. In this investigation we have examined the 19 replication and immunogenic characteristics of two vaccinia virus (VACV) mutants 20 M65 and M101. These mutants were generated after ...

Purpose: According to the Frames, then Content hypothesis (MacNeilage & Davis, 1990), the internal structure of CV syllables during canonical babbling is determined primarily by production system properties related to rhythmic mandibular oscillations (Motor Frames). The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of auditory input in emerging canonical syllables during the babbling period...
