Is low-dose aspirin really harmful to the small bowel?

dose aspirin or no drugs for 14 days by a crossover method including a washout period for at least 4 weeks. After 2 weeks of treatment, significantly higher percentages of subjects in the aspirin group compared to the control group (80 vs. 20%) had small bowel pathology, however, there was no significant difference in the incidence of small bowel mucosal breaks. The main conclusion of this cros...

Is habitual consumption harmful to the environment?

This paper explores the theoretical linkage between habit and the environment through environmentally harmful consumption affected by habitual behavior. It is shown that habit formation of consumption has both negative and positive effects on environmental quality. Whether the positive effect dominates the negative one depends on the degrees of habit formation and environmental externalities. C...

Musculoskeletal response of dystrophic mice to short term, low intensity, high frequency vibration.

OBJECTIVES We aimed to identify parameters of low-intensity vibration that initiate the greatest osteogenic response in dystrophin-deficient mice and determine vibration safety for diseased muscle in three separate studies. METHODS Study1: Mdx mice were randomized into seven vibration treatments and 14 d later, plasma osteocalcin and tibial osteogenic gene expression were compared among treat...

Characterization of a Hybrid Ambient Low Frequency, Low Intensity Vibration Energy Scavenger System

This paper identifies prior limitations, essential modifications, and effective change in system performance of a hybrid energy scavenger system, coupling both piezoelectric and electrostatic energy conversion using a lead zirconate titanate (PZT) cantilever. Based on energy survey, the system is targeting sinusoidal acceleration of 2.5m/s at 120Hz in a volume of <0.25cm. The primary goal of th...
