Phylogenetic Patterns in Northern Hemisphere Plant Geography

Geological and climatological processes that have impacted the biota of the Northern Hemisphere during the Tertiary are expected to yield little resolution when area cladograms are compared without taking the timing of diversification into account. In an attempt to establish a set of appropriate phylogenetic comparisons, we distinguished between a Pacific track involving (minimally) China, Japa...

The Physiological Basis of Physiotherapy

THIS is the third edition of an American book written for housemen and surgical trainees and it will inevitably be compared with the well-known British equivalent-Pye's Surgical Handicraft. The book is beautifully produced and well illustrated covering a wide field of surgical activity from the tying of knots to cancer chemotherapy. The clarity of the description and illustration of minor surgi...

Physiological Basis of Fescue Toxicosis

Tall fescue toxicosis continues to be a major syndrome in temperate climates of the world in terms of economic loss to animal producers. Studies with forage-fed animals over the past three decades have provided insight concerning the pathophysiological effects of the alkaloids present in tall fescue [Lolium arundinaceum (Schreb.) DarbyshJ infected with the fungal endophyte Neotyphodium coenophi...

MicroRNA basis of physiological hypertrophy

Cardiac hypertrophy is a distinguished feature of several physiological and pathological remodeling (Frey et al., 2004). Pathological hypertrophy is commonly seen in patients with heart injury or stress, such as myocardial infarction, hypertension, and valve disease (Frey et al., 2004). Physiological hypertrophy is typically induced by exercise or pregnancy. Interestingly, physiological hypertr...
