Today, comorbidities are increasingly diagnosed in veterinary patients and multiple drug combinations are common. However, as the number of administered drugs increases, so too does the risk for adverse drug interactions. Much of what is known about drug-drug interactions is taken from the human literature, but a growing body of work in veterinary medicine also exists. The purpose of this revie...

Cavernous malformations, also known as cavernomas, aff ect people at any age and occur throughout the CNS. In the brain, they can cause haemorrhagic stroke and epileptic seizures, and in the spinal cord, they can bleed and cause myelopathy. Despite the availability of microsurgical excision and stereotactic radiosurgery for cavernoma treatment and known genetic causes of most familial forms of ...

Top ten research priorities for spinal cord injury # Priority question 1 Does activity based rehabilitation, including functional electrical stimulation coupled with physical activity and hydrotherapy, improve outcomes such as muscle function and neuroplasticity after spinal cord injury? 2 Does stem cell therapy result in better outcomes after spinal cord injury and does this depend on the type...

In a few years, Wikipedia has become one of the information systems with more public (both producers and consumers) of the Internet. Its system and information architecture is relatively simple, but has proven to be capable of supporting the largest and more diverse community of collaborative authorship worldwide. In this paper, we analyze in detail this community, and the contents it is produc...

Over the last decade, the study of mortality in patients with ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) has raised a controversial question: whether the patient died of VAP or merely with VAP. Obviously, complications are a major risk in a patient with an infectious disease who does not receive treatment. Equally, if treatment is administered but the antibiotic choice is unsuitable, no beneficial i...

Lamina size, thickness, venation, and anatomy are studied in 15 species of Heliconia (Heliconiaceae), 3 species of Musa, and 1 of Ensete (Musaceae). The most typical laminas of these genera are large and oblong and have an acute or irregular apex and an asymmetrical cordate base. The laminar veins are parallel and are oriented essentially perpendicular to the costa and the margin. However, ther...

I am honored to have been asked to appear before the Antitrust Modernization Commission to address the “New Economy” issues that the Commission is studying. Many of you on the Commission are well versed in these issues based on you own experiences. I will offer my perspective today based on my ten years at the Federal Trade Commission, where I spent much of my time enforcing the antitrust laws ...

The classical electrostatic image principle for a perfectly conducting object consisting of two orthogonally intersecting spheres is revisited through vector analysis. A method for finding the image of a given charge distribution by splitting it in three virtual singlesphere problems is described. Also, a simple relation between the image charges of a given point charge is found. The method is ...
