Secondary fracture prevention: plucking the low hanging fruit.

Local government influence on energy conservation ambitions in existing housing sites—Plucking the low-hanging fruit?

Greater energy efficiency can be achieved in existing dwellings thanks to longer lifecycles, slow replacement rates, and technical innovations. Many such dwellings are located in dense urban neighbourhoods, where urban renewal projects are undertaken. Local government can encourage the setting of ambitious goals as a stepping stone to realizing energy efficiency goals that achieve high levels o...

Breast cancer risk reduction therapy: the low-hanging fruit.

Her clinical and research interests are in the area of breast cancer prevention, screening, diagnosis, and survivorship. She was the MD Anderson co-principal investigator (PI) on the groundbreaking Breast Cancer Prevention Trial and the STAR trial. She is currently investigating the potential role of vitamin D in breast cancer prevention. Dr. Bevers chairs the NCCN Guideline Panels for Breast C...

Beyond Low-Hanging Fruit: Seeking the Next Generation in FLOSS Data Mining

The ontogeny of handling hard-to-process food in wild brown capuchins (Cebus apella apella): evidence from foraging on the fruit of Maximiliana maripa.

We examined age-related differences in wild brown capuchins' foraging efficiency and the food-processing behaviors directed toward maripa palm fruit (Maximiliana maripa). A detailed comparison of the different foraging techniques showed that plucking the fruit from the infructescence constituted the main difficulty of this task. Foraging efficiency tended to increase with age, with a threshold ...

SECONDARY PREVENTION OF UPPER GASTROINTESTINAL BLEEDING IN LOW DOSE ASPIRIN USERS INFECTED WITHHELICOBACTER PYLORI

 ABSTRACT Background: Aspirin even at low dose ( 100 mg) can increase the risk of upper gastrointestinal bleeding. It is usual to use low dose aspirin for cardiovascular prophylaxis. We hypothesized that Helicobacter pylori eradication is as effective as omeprazole maintenance therapy for secondary prevention of bleeding in those who take low dose aspirin and are positive for Helicobacter pylor...
