Objectives: Although bioprosthetic valves have excellent hemodynamic properties and can eliminate the need for lifelong anticoagulation NAKED therapy, these devices are associated with high rates of reoperation and limited durability.Although there are many distinct bioprosthesis designs, all bioprosthetic valves have historically featured a trilea
Odor-dependent temporal dynamics in Caenorhabitis elegans adaptation and aversive learning behavior
Animals sense an enormous number of cues in their environments, and, over time, can form learned associations and memories with some of these.The nervous system remarkably maintains the specificity of learning and memory to each of the cues.Here we asked whether the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans adjusts the temporal dynamics of adaptation and ave
Hydrogenated fat intake during pregnancy and lactation caused increase in TRAF-6 and reduced AdipoR1 in white adipose tissue, but not in muscle of 21 days old offspring rats
Abstract Background Although lipids transfer through placenta is very limited, modification in dietary fatty acids can lead to implications in fetal and postnatal development.Trans fatty acid (TFA) intake during gestation and lactation have been reported to promote dyslipidemia and increase in pro- inflammatory adipokines in offspring.The aim of th
Anaphylactic shock following intraurethral lidocaine administration during transurethral resection of the prostate
Anaphylactic shock was noted following an apparently uneventful transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP).Lidocaine jelly was used prior to urethral dilatation and before placement of three-way Foley.Lidocaine sensitivity was diagnosed serendipitously when lidocaine jelly was used POTAT for application of ECG electrodes.Anaphylaxis may Hair Br
