BACKGROUND The Northern New England Cardiovascular Disease Study Group (NNE) recently published risk models for hospital mortality after heart valve surgery. The Providence Health System Cardiovascular Study Group (PHS) has been collecting similar heart valve data for 8 years, providing an ideal opportunity to both validate the NNE risk models and attempt to produce an improved model, by using ...

Macrophages, an important cell-type of the bone marrow stroma, are possible targets of benzene toxicity because they contain relatively large amounts of prostaglandin H synthase (PHS), which is capable of metabolizing phenolic compounds to reactive species. PHS also catalyzes the production of prostaglandins, negative regulators of myelopoiesis. Studies indicate that the phenolic metabolites of...

This research at supplying electricity to Ziway lake islanders in Ethiopia, through studying the wind, pumped hydro-storage (PHS), and solar energy potentials. A wind mast is erected, measurements 10,50, 70m heights are taken for a year long. The of class-4 with speeds 7m/s 50m, 7.87m/s. density 318.8 kWh/m2 (50m). GIS-based 3D digital elevation model (DEM) used investigate PHS, as lower-reserv...

Understanding the pathogenesis of dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) and dengue shock syndrome (DSS) requires the precise identification of dengue virus (DV)-permissive target cells. In a previous study using unfractionated human peripheral blood mononuclear cells, we found that monocytes, but not B or T cells, were the principal DV-permissive cells in the absence of DV-immune pooled human sera (PH...

Seed dormancy is the main component of domesticated traits, loss which results into rapid and uniform germination, synchronous maturity ease in harvesting. However, breakdown or fresh seed (FSD) has made seeds vulnerable to pre-harvest sprouting (PHS). Though, Vigna species are protected by pod, these still susceptible PHS. Identification donor(s) having short duration FSD (30-45 days) become u...

Introduction: The early identification of factors that predict the length hospital stay (HS) in patients affected by coronavirus desease (COVID-19) might assist therapeutic decisions and patient flow management.
 Methodology: We collected, at time admission, routine clinical, laboratory, imaging parameters hypoxia, lung damage, inflammation, organ dysfunction a consecutive series 50 COVID-...

Pre-harvest sprouting (PHS) of wheat reduces the quality and economic value of grain, and increasing PHS tolerance is one of the most important traits in wheat breeding. Two new Vp-1B alleles related to PHS tolerance were identified on the 3BL chromosome of bread wheat and were designated Vp-1Bb and Vp-1Bc. Sequence analysis showed that Vp-1Bb has a 193 bp insertion and Vp-1Bc has a 83 bp delet...
