Nicorandil ulcer: moves beyond the mucosa

Diffusion-weighted MRI moves beyond brain

MR imaging can be used for many applications in oncology. Its main roles in cancer imaging are determining locoregional tumor extent, characterizing tumors, and monitoring treatment. MRI, like CT, relies on morphological criteria for lesion differentiation. This reliance, however, can make it difficult to detect small cancerous deposits and to differentiate tumor recurrence from treatment-induc...

KM moves beyond the organization: The opportunity for librarians

KM is no ordinary management fad – first, it has legs, it is not fading away, and second it clearly is relevant to and overlaps greatly with librarianship. Despite the obvious overlap with librarianship, our field has done comparatively poorly on capitalizing on that overlap. The KM movement has gone through a number of stages, and it is now moving into a stage of recognizing the importance of ...

New pressure ulcer risk tool moves forward with implementation study.

Insights in the mechanisms underlying the anti-ulcer activity of nicorandil.

This study was conducted to investigate possible mechanisms underlying the gastroprotective effect of nicorandil on experimentally-induced gastric lesions in rats. The rats were randomly assigned to vehicle (saline or tween 80), nicorandil (2 mg/kg), glibenclamide (2 mg/kg), nicorandil plus glibenclamide- and cimetidine (50 mg/kg)-pretreated groups, in addition to the non-stressed control group...

Online human aggregation under pressure moves beyond preferential attachment

There is a significant amount of online human activity which is either clandestine or illicit in nature, and hence where individuals operate under fear of exposure or capture. Yet there is little theoretical understanding of what models best describe the resulting dynamics. Here we address this gap, by analyzing the evolutionary dynamics of the supporters behind the 95 pro-ISIS online communiti...
