This paper presents results of an experimental procedure to observe the impact of building materials on perceived air quality. An untrained panel of 25 adult subjects perceived the quality of polluted air in smallscale chamber settings. The air pollution was generated by emissions from individual materials, by combinations of these materials and by mixtures of emissions from single materials. T...

Although most physicians are comfortable managing the limited anticoagulant effect of aspirin, recent administration potent P2Y12 receptor inhibitors in patients undergoing cardiac surgery remains a dilemma. Guidelines recommend discontinuation 5- to- 7 days before to reduce risk postoperative hemorrhage. Such strategy might not be feasible urgent surgery, due ongoing myocardial ischemia or at ...

Central MessageTrial sequential analysis can be used to assess the conclusiveness of meta-analytical findings. Clinicians should learn understand and interpret such analyses, aware its limitations.See Commentaries on pages 174, 175, 176. Trial limitations. See Ranked high hierarchy evidence, meta-analyses are important summaries existing literature, often influencing clinical practice guideline...

Microarray analysis of mRNA changes due to up-regulated and down-regulated polymorphonulear leucocyte (PMNL) gene responses to toxicant exposure have been proposed to permit the assessment of toxicant visceral tissue effects and gene responses in rodent models and human exposure situations. The use of PMNL as surrogates for toxicant target organs such as lung, brain and liver has been used to d...

This paper presents a comparison of the properties of concrete slabs when two types of fibres are added. One specimen had no fibres and acted as a control specimen. The remaining four specimens had steel and polypropylene fibres added in the volumetric ratio of 0.5% and 1.0%. The dimensions of the slab specimens were 820×820×80 mm and were supported by four rollers at their edges. A displacemen...
