The exploration of the end of the Dark Ages will be one of the most exciting field of the next decade. While most of the proposed observations must await the next–generation telescopes, the observational window of the redshifted 21cm line offers the possibility to investigate the physics of reheating and reionization on a short term. Here we describe several possible signatures detectable in th...

BACKGROUND As the global population ages, disabling hearing impairment (HI) have been increased rapidly. The impact of HI on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is of great importance to aid the development of strategic plans and to guide therapeutic interventions. PURPOSE To evaluate HRQoL in Korean adults with different degrees of HI using EuroQol five-dimensional (EQ-5D) and EQ-visual a...

Neonatal hypoxic-ischaemic (HI) brain injury resulting in encephalopathy is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality with no effective treatment. Here we show that caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE), an active component of propolis, administered either before or after an HI insult, significantly prevents HI-induced neonatal rat brain damage in the cortex, hippocampus and thalamus. In additio...
