Pathophysiology of endotoxin: microvascular dysfunction, and the roles of VEGF and nitric oxide (NO) (Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) elicits nitric oxide (NO)-dependent vasodilation and plays major roles in angiogenesis and wound healing. Although bacterial endotoxin (LPS) has been shown to alter endothelial ...
-
Surgery Site Infection (SSI) is an infection that occurs after surgery in the part of the body where the surgery took place. It typically occurs within 30 days after the surgery (and discharge from the hospital). With rapid ...
-
Japan is currently facing a population decline and other large demographic shifts. Many Japanese people are choosing to delay marriage (or not get married at all), ultimately resulting in a lower birth rate and an aging ...
-
(1982)The pattern of estrogen during four reproductive states of the cow was determined by utilizing a frequent blood sampling technique. Plasma samples from a Holstein heifer at thirty minute intervals were analyzed for estrone ...
-
(1976)Pattern recognition, as used in this paper, reflects a technique of machine data analysis. In this capacity the machine receives the raw data, processes it for the purpose of separating the important features from the ...
-
(1991)The general field of pattern recognition is discussed with emphasis on the development of AMOEBA, a two dimensional digital clustering program, into a three dimensional program. Moreover, a program analyzing phenyl rings ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)Previous research on religious fundamentalism has focused on correlating fundamentalism with a number of personality variables. Religious fundamentalism has been associated with low religious quest, high right-wing ...
-
(2020-04-08)Humans and animals use environmental cues to determine appropriate defensive responses. Understanding the mechanisms of context-mediated fear responses is crucial, as the dysregulation of these processes are central to ...
-
(1997)Prior research shows that very intense noises can produce antinociception in awake rats. Experiment 1 examined the antinociceptive effects of a tone and a noise at various intensity levels on awake and pentobarbital ...

-
(2017-04-28)Poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) has been previously studied as a thermoresponsive shape memory polymer (SMP) for numerous biomedical applications due to its biocompatibility and biodegradability. We have previously investigated ...
-
(1991)The classification of RNA polymerase III transcribed genes into genes with internal promoters (within the coding region) and those with external promoters is no longer a clear one. The S. cerevisiae U6 promoter is comprised ...
-
(2013-09-25)Tissue engineering may utilize a “materials-guided” approach to repair of osteochondral defects (OCDs) – damage extending from cartilage to subchondral bone. Based on the physical and chemical properties of the scaffold ...
