We used a time series of 1986–2009 Landsat sensor data to compute the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) for 30 m pixels within the Bonanza Creek Experimental Forest of interior Alaska. Based on simple linear regression, we found significant (p < 0.05) declining trends in mean NDVI of three dominant landscape types of floodplains, lowlands, and uplands. At smaller patch sizes, simila...

Abstract We describe, interpret, and establish a stratotype for the Frenchman Mountain Dolostone (FMD), new Cambrian stratigraphic unit that records key global geochemical climate signals is well exposed throughout Grand Canyon central Basin Range, USA. This flat-topped carbonate platform deposit uppermost of Tonto Group, replacing informally named “undifferentiated dolomites.” The two chemostr...

Introduction Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection is the main cause of gastritis, gastroduodenal ulcers, and gastric cancer. However, after more than 20 years experience with H. pylori treatment, the ideal regimen to treat this infection remains to be found. Consensus conferences have recommended therapeutic regimens that achieve H. pylori cure rates higher than 80% on an intent-to-treat (...

M icrobial genome sequencing has had only a modest impact on practical microbiology so far. It has not resulted, as many had hoped, in a bonanza of new antimicrobial drugs. The progress in basic understanding of pathogens has also been slow. For example, genomic sequences of the bacteria causing two most common sexually transmitted diseases, Treponema pallidum (syphilis) and Chlamydia trachomat...

This treatise of chronic kidney disease (CKD) describes association of hypertension, diabetes and congestive heart failure (CHF) with CKD. CKD is defined by estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of less than 60 ml/min for three months or more. CKD is generally irreversible but not necessarily progressive. Thus progression of CKD into end stage renal disease (ESRD) is the concern here and ...

In the past decade, we have witnessed striking advances in the diagnosis and therapy of invasive fungal infections in immunocompromised patients. Similar to the quantum leap in HIV medicine about 15 years ago, this progress resulted from the synergy of new diagnostic assays (galactomannan antigen, beta-glucan, (pan-)fungal polymerase chain reaction), with new and better antifungal drugs such as...
