Xerostomia is defined as a subjective sensation of having a dry mouth (Fox et al., 1987) and is reported by the patient (Guggenheimer & Moore, 2003; Moore et al., 2001). The subjective feeling of dry mouth (xerostomia) is one of the oral manifestations of diabetes (Sreebny et al., 2006; von Bültzingslöwen et al., 2007). Xerostomia results from a reduction in saliva secretion, although it may oc...

The Blue Fox (Vulpes lagopus) has been bred for fur production for more than 70 years (IUCN, 2011), but traditional housing practices for this species have been questioned as they prevent species-specific behaviour. Recent research suggests that alternative housing practices, such as providing sand flooring (Ahola et al., 2009), activity objects (Koistinen et al., 2009), and nest sites (Pyyköne...

The crack epidemic, now a decade old, disabused neurologists of the idea that cocaine was a relatively safe drug. Acute neurologic complications of cocaine intoxication such as headaches, delirium, seizures, and strokes have now been amply delineated. Less clear is whether long-term cocaine use, uncomplicated by acute problems, can lead to structural or functional changes in the human brain. Br...

Angiographic diagnosis of an aneurysm of the internal carotidposterior communicating arteries (ICA-PCoA) is usually straightforward [1 ], unless the aneurysm is small (< 5 mm) or the PCoA itself is not filled on carotid angiography. In the latter case, the aneurysm may be confused with an infundibulum. In 1964, Fox et al. [2 , 3] described five patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage, three of wh...

The Purkinje cell and their synaptic contacts have been described using (1) light microsocopy, (2) transmission and scanning electron microscopy, and freeze etching technique, (3) conventional and field emission scanning electron microscopy and cryofracture methods, (4) confocal laser scanning microscopy using intravital stain FM64, and (5) immunocytochemical techniques for Synapsin-I, PSD9-5, ...

A crucial topic for recreational drug research is the long-term effects of regular usage. With respect to cannabis, Solowij et al. (2002) noted: ‘One issue remains unresolved: does heavy, frequent or prolonged use of cannabis lead to a deterioration in cognitive function that persists well beyond any period of acute intoxication? Is the functioning of the brain altered in the long-term?’. Many ...

The rf-bias-induced decreases in plasma electron density observed by us [J. Appl. Phys. 102, 113302 (2007)] and others [Fox-Lyon et al., J. Vac. Sci. Technol. A 32, 030601 (2014)] are better explained changes gas composition, rather than neutral depletion.

Continued tobacco use after a cancer diagnosis has been associated with various detrimental clinical outcomes such as shorter survival (Videtic et al., 2003; Fox et al., 2004; Sardari Nia et al., 2005; Zhou et al., 2006; Nguyenet al., 2010; Parsonset al., 2010; Kenfield, et al., 2011); increased risk of tumor recurrence or development of secondary malignancies (Do et al., 2003; Kawaguchi et al....

0.4 1.0 0.8 Although the mean values indicate the younger British squad to be slightly taller, lighter and fatter, their ranges, in fact, span the mean American values for each parameter. The throwers, with a mean 16.0% body fat, are the same order of fatness as non-athletic males, reported by Fox and Mathews (1981) to be 16.8%, although Parizkova (1977) found a mean value of 12% for the 20-30 ...
