Mechanistic hypotheses to explain mycorrhizal enhancement of root hydraulic conductivity (L,) suggest that phosphorus (P) nutr i t ion, plant growth substances and/or al tered morphology may be responsible . Such ideas are based on work with VA (vesicular-arbuscular) mycorrhizas . S ince VA mycorrhizas and ectomycorrhizas di f fer in many respects , they may alter host plant water uptake via di...

BACKGROUND A high ablation success rate for ventricular arrhythmia (VA) from outflow tract has been achieved, but some of them cannot be eliminated from endocardium. We investigated the association between adenosine sensitivity and ablation success/recurrence rates with a nonirrigated or an irrigated catheter. METHODS According to adenosine test, all patients were divided into a sensitive gro...

A number of chemicals including antioxidants, vitamins and hormones are widely advertised as anti-aging drugs (geroprotectors). It is usually believed that life-extending capacity of geroprotectors may be attributed to their specific anti-aging mechanisms, even without solid scientific evidence. The analysis of the survival data gathered by both anti-aging and hormetic interventions demonstrate...
