background & aim: homalium letestui pellegr (flacourtiaceae) used traditionally by the ibibios of southern nigeria to treat stomach ulcer, malaria and other inflammatory diseases was evaluated for antiulcer properties.  experimental: the effects of ethanol stem extract of h. letestui (200 – 600 mg/kg) and fractions (aqueous and dichloromethane, 400 mg/kg) on experimentally induced ulcer wer...

ciated with removal of 59% of unnecessary catheters. As did a previous study suggesting that physicians were unaware of their patients having urinary catheters, we found that reminders to physicians with less training who were directly involved in patient care enhanced the effectiveness the reminder systems. We also identified 2 potentially modifiable gaps in knowledge of inappropriate urinary ...

There has always been a desire for large screen systems. Large screens can easily be used for public media. They are also desirable because they can cover a larger visual angle for information. As screens become bigger, we also try to increase resolution to maximize the visual information bandwidth. With a larger capacity for visual information, these large screens become attractive for numerou...

Transposable elements are frequently used in Drosophila melanogaster for imprecise excision screens to delete genes of interest. However, these screens are highly variable in the number and size of deletions that are recovered. Here, we show that conducting excision screens in mus309 mutant flies that lack DmBlm, the Drosophila ortholog of the Bloom syndrome protein, increases the percentage an...

We provide a background-independent formulation of the holographic principle. It permits the construction of embedded hypersurfaces (screens) on which the entire bulk information can be stored at a density of no more than one bit per Planck area. Screens are constructed explicitly for AdS, Minkowski, and de Sitter spaces with and without black holes, and for cosmological solutions. The properti...
