Forty patients of Thalassemia Major children were treated with wheat grass tablets (WGT). The mean hemoglobin in the pre WGT was 8.54 +/- 0.33 g% whereas in WGT period was 9.13 +/- 0.14 g% (p < 0.001). The mean blood transfused as packed cells in pre WGT period was 326.82 +/- 74.10 ml/kg/year whereas during WGT period it was 256.39 +/- 45.47 ml/kg/year. The percentage difference in the amount o...

BACKGROUND Oxygenation via the cricothyroid membrane (CTM) may be required in emergencies, but inadvertent tracheal cannulation may occur. In this study, we compared airway injury between the tracheal and CTM sites using different techniques for airway access. METHODS Anesthesiologists performed 4 airway access techniques on excised porcine tracheas. The techniques were 1) wire-guided (WGT), ...

Let En ⊂ L 1 be the n-dimensional subspace which appeared in Kašin’s theorem such that L 1 = En ⊕E⊥ n and the L 1 and L 2 norms are universally equivalent on both En and E⊥ n . In this paper, we introduce and study some properties concerning extension and weak Grothendieck’s theorem (WGT). We show that the Schatten space Sp for all 0 < p ≤ ∞ does not verify the theorem of extension. We prove al...

BACKGROUND Colonic transit tests are used to manage patients with Functional Gastrointestinal Disorders. Some tests used expose patients to ionizing radiation. The aim of this study was to compare novel magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) tests for measuring orocecal transit time (OCTT) and whole gut transit time (WGT), which also provide data on colonic volumes. METHODS 21 healthy volunteers pa...

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of short non-coding, endogenous RNAs that play essential roles in eukaryotes. Although the influence of whole-genome triplication (WGT) on protein-coding genes has been well documented in Brassica rapa, little is known about its impacts on MIRNAs. In this study, through generating a comprehensive annotation of 680 MIRNAs for B. rapa, we analyzed the evolutionary c...

Two strictly anaerobic, crescent-shaped bacterial strains, designated WGT and Ycb08, were isolated from a cellulose-degrading mixed culture enriched from yak rumen contents. The strains were Gram-negative, non-spore-forming and motile, with four to six flagella situated at the centre of the concave side of the cell. The cells were 0.9-1.1x4-6 microm. Growth was observed at 27-46 degrees C (opti...

Whole genome duplication (WGD) and tandem duplication (TD) are both important modes of gene expansion. However, how WGD influences tandemly duplicated genes is not well studied. We used Brassica rapa, which has undergone an additional genome triplication (WGT) and shares a common ancestor with Arabidopsis thaliana, Arabidopsis lyrata, and Thellungiella parvula, to investigate the impact of geno...

Presently the degree to which peak force influences power production or explosive performance such as strength training movements or throwing (shot-put and weight-throw) is unclear. This study describes the relationships between a measure of maximum strength, isometric peak force (IPF), dynamic peak force (PF), peak power (PP), the 1-repetition movement power snatch (SN), and throwing ability o...

We investigate the particle content of parity-preserving Weyl gauge theories gravity (WGT$^+$) about a Minkowski background. Within subset full theory, we use systematic method previously presented in [arXiv:1812.02675] to determine 862 critical cases for which parameter values action lead additional invariances. find that 168 these are free ghosts and tachyons, provided parameters satisfy cert...
