INTRODUCTION Acetazolamide, a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor, remains the only FDA approved pharmaceutical prophylaxis for acute mountain sickness (AMS) though its effectiveness after rapid transport in real world conditions is less clear. METHODS Over 2 years, 248 healthy adults traveled by airplane from sea level (SL) to the South Pole (ALT, ~3200m) and 226 participants provided Lake Louise S...

BACKGROUND The AMS is an internationally used health-related quality of life (HRQoL) scale. The aim of this paper is to provide evidence that the French AMS scale measures HRQoL are as valid as other language versions. We also intend to show whether the application of AMS is really limited to aging males only or not. More generally, we like to demonstrate that the AMS scale is a relevant, valid...

Abstract Alveolar macrophages (AMs) play critical roles in maintaining lung homeostasis and orchestrating the immune responses. Although essential factors known for AM development have been identified, currently an optimal vitro culture system that can be used studying functions of AMs is still lacking. In this study, we report optimized generating AM-like cells from adult mouse bone marrow fet...

Background: Acute mountain sickness (AMS) is a common disabling condition in individuals experiencing high altitudes, which may progress to life-threatening high altitude cerebral edema. Today, no established biomarkers are available for prediction the susceptibility of AMS. MicroRNAs emerge as promising sensitive and specific biomarkers for a variety of diseases. Thus, we sought to identify ci...

Os sistemas automatizados de ordenha (AMS) e o monitoramento comportamento estão ganhandopopularidade na cadeia produtiva leite. A crescente falta mão obra, a busca pela melhoria qualidade, gestão profissionalização das propriedades leiteiras fazem com que constantemente ocorra modernização dos produção, do sistema tradicional ao pé, para salas ordenhas introdução AMS. O aumento frequência prop...

OBJECTIVE To identify current antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) resources and activities for children in hospitals throughout Australasia, to identify gaps in services. DESIGN, SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS Tertiary paediatric hospitals (children's hospitals and combined adult and paediatric hospitals that offer tertiary paediatric care) in every state and territory of Australia and the North and So...

Catalytic graphitization for (14)C-accelerator mass spectrometry ((14)C-AMS) produced various forms of elemental carbon. Our high-throughput Zn reduction method (C/Fe = 1:5, 500 degrees C, 3 h) produced the AMS target of graphite-coated iron powder (GCIP), a mix of nongraphitic carbon and Fe(3)C. Crystallinity of the AMS targets of GCIP (nongraphitic carbon) was increased to turbostratic carbon...

BACKGROUND To support antibiotic prescribing for both hospital and community-based health professionals working in remote North Western Australia, a multidisciplinary Antimicrobial Stewardship (AMS) Committee was established in 2013. This Committee is usually focused on hospital-based prescribing. A troubling increase in sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim resistance in Staphylococcus aureus antibiog...
