The purpose of our study was to ascertain the progression of metastases in a novel ovarian cancer model designed to mimic early-stage disease by utilizing an orthotopic injection technique. Female Fischer 344 rats were injected with either 10(4) or…
We provide a comparative analysis of protein adsorption, primary human cell behavior, and biofilm formation on modified titanium substrates of either micro-, nano-, or hybrid micro/nano-scale feature sizes. While studies revealed that nano-scale…
Descriptive and quantitative analyses of electromyograms (EMG) from the jaw adductors during feeding in mammals have demonstrated both similarities and differences among species in chewing motor patterns. These observations have led to a number of…
The number of refugees and asylum seekers throughout the world continues to increase, leading to increasing challenges in meeting healthcare needs of these individuals. Women's antenatal health is of particular concern due to their vulnerability to…
Introduction: The use of an electrocautery device (monopolar loop) for patients undergoing transurethral resection of bladder tumors (TURBT) is standard of care. The aim of this study is to establish non-inferiority of complication rates for a…
Recent comprehensive studies of DNA sequences support the monophyly of Afrotheria, comprising elephants, sirenians (dugongs and manatees), hyraxes, tenrecs, golden moles, aardvarks, and elephant shrews, as well as that of Paenungulata, comprising…
A recent lack of availability of the anesthetic agent methohexital in the United States allowed for a naturalistic study of the efficacy and the adverse effects of alternatives. Methohexital, propofol, and thiopental were compared as anesthetic…
Study Design. A description of a method for standardizing the nomenclature used in reporting the size and location of lesions in the lumbar or thoracic spine is presented. Objectives. To make the reporting of findings on computed tomography or…
The effect of incorporation of 1-palmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (PLPC) on the bilayer structures occurring in aqueous dispersions of 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine (DPPE) has been studied by phosphorus 31 nuclear magnetic…
Accelerated partial-breast irradiation (APBI) is an adjuvant radiotherapy technique that allows for the completion of radiation therapy (RT) in 1 week or less for women undergoing breast conservation. Traditionally delivered using interstitial…
Animals must overcome the physical properties protecting foods to obtain nutrition. While animals can experience selection for traits that facilitate resource exploitation, specific feeding behaviors may entail multiple, different mechanical…
Background: Foot burns in children often result from contact with heated surfaces due to high ambient temperatures during summer in the southwestern United States. The objective of this study was to describe the unique cause and clinical…
A complex plasma disc (CPD) is a stable two-dimensional arrangement of it particles, each with mass in and charge q, confined by a parabolic well and interacting through a shielded Coulomb force (i.e. a Yukawa potential). It is shown that the…
Acid-base disorders are common in clinical practice. Simple acid-base disturbances include metabolic acidosis, metabolic alkalosis, respiratory acidosis and respiratory alkalosis. Each can be clearly identified using a common clinical approach.…
At least 1 episode of acute otitis media is seen in 94% of children before age 2. Attendance in a day-care setting is among the major risk factors. Middle ear fluid may be sterile or may grow viruses and/or bacteria. Accurate diagnosis and…
