Full Moon and Gastrointestinal Bleeding

Findings:Román, Soriano, Fuentes, Gálvez, and Fernández (2004) suggested that the number of hospital admissions related to gastrointestinal bleeding was somehow influenced by the phases of the Earth’s moon. Specifically, the authors claimed that the rate of hospital admissions to their bleeding unit is higher during the full moon than at other times. Their report contains a number of methodolog...

The Goldschimdt Region as Viewed from Moon Mineralogy Mapper

Introduction: Recent findings from the Deep Impact-EPOXI, Cassini and Chandraayn-1 missions have identified absorption features near 3 μm attributed to water/hydroxyl on the lunar surface [1, 2, 3]. High spatial resolution data from the Moon Mineralogy Mapper (M 3 ) onboard Chandraayan-1 show that these absorptions exhibit marked variability in their local distribution. One area with a particul...

Variations in the sky brightness during a lunar eclipse

A total lunar eclipse is conjectured to have influence on the physical conditions of an environmental area, particularly on the brightness of the sky. The phenomenon might also be relevant on weather parameters change on Earth, such as temperature, humidity and pressure, though a straightforward correlation is not easy to establish. This work mainly aims at measuring the brightness of the sky a...

Axons emanating from dendrites: phylogenetic repercussions with Cajalian hues

INTRODUCTION The observation that some axons, in hippocampal pyramidal neurons, emanate from dendrites rather than the somatic envelope, and the contributory synaptic input privilege (Thome et al., 2014) was highlighted as a new dimension in understanding input-output transformations (Kaifosh and Losonczy, 2014). Applying state-of-art immunocytochemical, neurophysiological, and computational me...
