background and aims: rubella is a contagious viral disease mostly with mild clinical symptoms and often remains undiagnosed. rubella infection may adversely affect pregnancy, especially in the first trimester and this mother to child transmission can cause congenital rubella and may be lead to permanent disability and mortality in children. effective rubella vaccine should be prepared using sui...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the comparative diagnostic value of harmonic imaging (HI) in the assessment of patients with suspected infective endocarditis (IE). SETTING Tertiary referral centre. DESIGN 139 consecutive patients were evaluated with three imaging modalities: transthoracic echocardiography with fundamental imaging (FI); HI; and transoesophageal echocardiography (TOE). Image quality wa...

The aim of our study was to evaluate whether hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) was an effective therapy for neonatal hypoxic ischemic brain damage (HIBD). Seven-day-old rat pups were divided into 3 groups: sham, hypoxia-ischemia (HI) control and HI-HBO group. HBO was administered for HI rats daily. The pathologic changes in brain tissues were observed by hematoxylin-eosin (H-E) staining. The immunoh...

We present the joint analysis of Neutral Hydrogen (HI) Intensity Mapping observations with three galaxy samples: Luminous Red Galaxy (LRG) and Emission Line (ELG) samples from eBOSS survey, WiggleZ Dark Energy Survey sample. The HI intensity maps are Green Bank Telescope redshifted 21cm emission on 100deg2 covering redshift range $0.6<z<1.0$. process data by separating removing foregrounds Fast...

Inflammation and neuroprotective strategies in the immature brain after hypoxic-ischemic brain injury Pernilla Svedin, 2008, Perinatal Center, Department of Physiology, Institute of Neuroscience and Physiology, University of Gothenburg, Box 432, 405 30 Göteborg Sweden Perinatal brain injury, as a result of hypoxia-ischemia (HI) or infection/HI, is a major cause of acute mortality and neurologic...

PURPOSE To determine whether damage to neonatal brain is exacerbated with multiple mild cerebral insults as detected with MRI and corroborated using histology. MATERIALS AND METHODS The combined brain injury produced by multiple procedures was compared in neonatal rats having: Sham surgery at P5, Sham surgery at P5 plus a diffuse mild transient unilateral cerebral hypoxia ischemia (HI) at P7,...

Neutral intergalactic clouds are so greatly out numbered by galaxies that their integral HI content is negligible in comparison to that contained in optically luminous galaxies. In fact, no HI cloud that is not associated with a galaxy or grouping of galaxies has yet been identified. This points to a causal relationship that relies on gravitational potentials that bind galaxies also being respo...

(or up to 150 million gallons per year) to BioAlternatives as a feedstock for fuel production. The partners plan to locate algae production and biodiesel refinery facilities in Louisiana. In October 2007, the Chevron Corporation announced a collaborative research project with the DoE's National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) to explore the production of transport fuels, including jet fuel, ...
