Finding correct species relationships using phylogeny reconstruction based on molecular data is dependent on several empirical and technical factors. These include the choice of DNA sequence from which phylogeny is to be inferred, the establishment of character homology within a sequence alignment, and the phylogeny algorithm used. Nevertheless, sequencing and phylogeny tools provide a way of t...

The aim of our study was twofold: 1) to establish a mathematical link between mean aortic pressure (MAP) and systolic (SAP) and diastolic aortic pressures (DAP) by testing the hypothesis that either the geometric mean or the harmonic mean of SAP and DAP were reliable MAP estimates; and 2) to critically evaluate three empirical formulas recently proposed to estimate MAP. High-fidelity pressures ...

Background: Nowadays, the immune response to hepatitis C (HCV) treatment has become a crucial issue mostly due to the interleukin 28B (IL-28B) polymorphism effects in chronic HCV patients. The aim of this study was to detect the polymorphism of IL-28B gene (rs12979860) in HCV genotype 1 patients treated with pegylated Interferon and Ribavirin. Methods...

TOPIC: Critical Care TYPE: Medical Student/Resident Case Reports INTRODUCTION: Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid routinely used for sedation and analgesia in the intensive care unit (ICU). Though typically safe when vigilantly ICU-level care, it can sometimes cause serious adverse effects such as acute encephalopathy that usually improve with supportive care. We present rare case of persistent cau...

Abstract Background Wayfinding is defined as the way people orient themselves in and navigate a physical space. systems may include cues built environment, printed information signage, human interactions (1). The unfamiliar environment processes of paediatric emergency department (ED) can cause increased patient caregiver stress, anxiety, dissatisfaction with healthcare system (2). Even though ...
