Inflammation in cystic fibrosis airways: relationship to increased bacterial adherence.
It is unclear whether inflammation in the cystic fibrosis (CF) lung relates predominantly to bacterial infection, or occurs as a direct consequence of mutant cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) protein. Interleukin (IL)-8 secretion from CF and non-CF cell lines, and from CF and non-CF human primary nasal epithelial cells incubated with or without Pseudomonas aeruginosa, w...
متن کاملSuccessful population establishment from small introductions appears to be less common than believed
Although small populations are at high risk of extinction, there are regular reports in the scientific literature of purported small, isolated, persistent populations. One source of evidence of the viability of small populations comes from the alleged successful introduction of species to areas outside their original range from introductions of few individuals. We reviewed the examples from int...
متن کاملA critical review of the development of face recognition: experience is less important than previously believed.
Historically, it has been argued that face individuation develops very slowly, not reaching adult levels until adolescence, with experience being the driving force behind this protracted improvement. Here, we challenge this view based on extensive review of behavioural and neural findings. Results demonstrate qualitative presence of all key phenomena related to face individuation (encoding of n...
متن کاملMusculoskeletal Morbidity with Unmodified Ect May Be Less than Earlier Believed
Official guidelines for the practice of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) recommend routine seizure modification to minimize musculoskeletal complications; nevertheless, unmodified ECT continues to be administered in India. We therefore assessed musculoskeletal morbidity with unmodified ECT with particular reference to the development of vertebral fractures and backache X-rays of the thoracolumba...
متن کاملIs oxygen more toxic than currently believed?
Scheele and Priestly discovered oxygen independently of each other in 1772 and 1774, respectively. It was quickly realized that this gas is not only life-giving but might be poisonous as well. However, what man has known for only 2 centuries nature itself has known for some 700 million years. One of the biggest leaps forward in evolution occurred when blue–green-like algae developed enzymes tha...
