BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Observational evidence has suggested that RRT modality may affect recovery after AKI. It is unclear whether initial choice of intermittent hemodialysis or continuous RRT affects renal recovery, survival, or development of ESRD in critically ill patients when modality choice is made primarily on hemodynamics. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, & MEASUREMENTS We performed ...

Recent populations of the red sunflower seed weevil, Smicronyx fulvus LeConte (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), have been inconsistent or declining, particularly in North Dakota. Consequently, research on weevil biology, including development of resistant germplasm, has been limited. To determine whether cold storage of diapausing larvae could be improved, nonconstant temperature treatments (fluctua...

The major use of alternative light sources (ALS) in the evaluation bloodstains has been primarily focused on detection whole blood, with relatively little attention to visualization blood serum. Serum may become separated from pools during clotting, and because it is invisible certain backgrounds, go undetected by a perpetrator attempting clean up crime scene. Recently, Ultraviolet 365 (UV 365)...
