It has been revealed that dopamine (DA) modulates gastro-duodenal responses to stress. Several investigations have been made to identify the mechanisms and/or receptors by which DA or its promoters exert their gastroprotective function against stress, however there are many discrepancies in this respect. In order to clarify the relative contribution and/or interaction of two DA receptor subty...

introduction:landscape structure means the pattern of a landscape, which is determined by its type of use, but also by its structure, i.e. the size, shape, arrangement and distribution of individual landscape elements. for the delineation of these landscape elements, or so-called patches, often land use or land cover units are used. in this context, “‘land cover’ refers to the physical surface ...

The source populations of tigers are mostly confined to protected areas, which are now becoming isolated. A landscape scale conservation strategy should strive to facilitate dispersal and survival of dispersing tigers by managing habitat corridors that enable tigers to traverse the matrix with minimal conflict. We present evidence for tiger dispersal along transboundary protected areas complexe...

INTRODUCTION Older patients frequently undergo operations that carry high risk for postoperative complications and death. Poor preoperative communication between patients and surgeons can lead to uninformed decisions and result in unexpected outcomes, conflict between surgeons and patients, and treatment inconsistent with patient preferences. This article describes the protocol for a multisite,...
