?Infant Survival After Cesarean Section for Trauma? (1996), by John A. Morris, Jr. et al

By: Grayson, Claire Elise In the May 1996 edition of The Annals of Surgery, John A. Morris and his collaborators published ?Infant Survival After Cesarean Section for Trauma,? in which they evaluate the use of emergency cesarean sections for the treatment of pregnant trauma patients. During a cesarean section, a physician removes a fetus [2] from a pregnant woman through an incision in her abdo...

Anti-social welfare functions: a reply to Hansen et al.

Whilst Hansen et al. [Journal of Health Economics (2004)], may be said to link CEA and CBA within a welfarist framework, the assumptions they require are inconsistent with these types of ethical preferences. Th...

Chronic exposure to food of low quality may exert conflicting selection pressures on foraging behaviour. On the one hand, more active search behaviour may allow the animal to find patches with slightly better, or more, food; on the other hand, such active foraging is energetically costly and thus may be opposed by selection for energetic efficiency. Here we test these alternative hypotheses in ...

Background: Ascorbate biosynthesis in plants occurs mainly via the L-galactose pathway. Results: Chlamydomonas reinhardtii VTC2 encodes a GDP-L-galactose phosphorylase whose transcript levels are induced in response to oxidative stress concurrent with increased ascorbate accumulation. Conclusion: Increased oxidative stress in C. reinhardtii results in an enzymatic and nonenzymatic antioxidant r...
