PURPOSE To examine the effect of hypohydration on physiological strain and intermittent sprint exercise performance in the heat (35.5 +/- 0.6 degrees C, 48.7 +/- 3.4% relative humidity). METHODS Eight unacclimatized males (age 23.4 +/- 6.2 y, height 1.78 +/- 0.04 m, mass 76.8 +/- 7.7 kg) undertook three trials, each over two days. On day 1, subjects performed 90 min of exercise/heat-induced d...

BACKGROUND The Internet is commonly used as a source of health information, but little is known about the Internet practices specific to cancer patients. OBJECTIVE To understand cancer patients' use of the Internet as an informational resource and for social support. METHODS The researchers conducted a survey of 1282 patients at a comprehensive cancer center to assess frequency of Internet ...

Hepatomegaly and liver dysfunction might develop in patients with diabetes mellitus due to glycogen deposition or nonalcoholic steatohepatitis. We experienced a case of hepatic glycogenosis in a patient with type 1 diabetes mellitus who presented with recurrent hypoglycemia, suggesting impairment of glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis. A 10-year-old girl with a 4-year history of type 1 diabetes ...

BACKGROUND This study aimed to assess if clampless off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) decreases risk-adjusted mortality, stroke rate, and morbidity in unselected patients in comparison to conventional CABG. METHODS AND RESULTS Between July 2009 and November 2010, data of 1282 consecutive patients undergoing isolated CABG were prospectively recorded. In 30.8% (n=395), clampless of...

BACKGROUND Regular physical activity such as biking can help prevent obesity and chronic disease. Improvements in cycling infrastructure are associated with higher overall cycling rates, but less is known about bike lane utilization in low-income urban neighborhoods. METHODS During the summer of 2009, 4 Central Brooklyn streets with bicycle lanes were studied using camcorders to record for a ...

The lethal mutation l(2)CA4 causes specific defects in local growth of neuronal processes. We uncovered four alleles of l(2)CA4 and mapped it to bands 50A-C on the polytene chromosomes and found it to be allelic to kakapo (. Genetics. 146:275- 285). In embryos carrying our kakapo mutant alleles, motorneurons form correct nerve branches, showing that long distance growth of neuronal processes is...

Today, predictive analytics applications became an urgent desire in higher educational institutions. Predictive used advanced that encompasses machine learning implementation to derive high-quality performance and meaningful information for all education levels. Mostly know student grade is one of the key indicators can help educators monitor their academic performance. During past decade, rese...

AIM To determine whether aspirin or non-aspirin non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NA-NSAIDs) prevent colorectal cancer (CRC) in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). METHODS We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis. We searched for articles reporting the risk of CRC in patients with IBD related to aspirin or NA-NSAID use. Pooled odds ratios (OR) and 95%CIs were determ...
