BACKGROUND Aerobic exercise (AE) is recommended as first-line antihypertensive lifestyle therapy based on strong evidence showing that it lowers blood pressure (BP) 5 to 7 mm Hg among adults with hypertension. Because of weaker evidence showing that dynamic resistance training (RT) reduces BP 2 to 3 mm Hg among adults with hypertension, it is recommended as adjuvant lifestyle therapy to AE trai...

Observations on prevalence, geographical distribution, utilization of artificial larval habitats and anthropophilism were made on diurnal mosquitoes at selected localities along the coast of Natal and inland in the Transvaal to identify potential vectors of dengue in South Africa. Larval collections made in artificial containers on the ground, the exposure of bamboo pots as ovitraps in trees an...

atopic eczema (ae) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease that affects children and adults, and alters quality of life with a high morbidity rate and severe economic burden. the objective of the present work was to analyse specific atmospheric pollutants (o3, no, pm10 and so2) affecting the prevalence of diagnosed ae and its symptoms among 6-7-year-old schoolchildren. the participants included ...

BACKGROUND Aedes mosquitoes in Taiwan mainly comprise Aedes albopictus and Ae. aegypti. However, the species contributing to autochthonous dengue spread and the extent at which it occurs remain unclear. Thus, in this study, we spatially analyzed real data to determine spatial features related to local dengue incidence and mosquito density, particularly that of Ae. albopictus and Ae. aegypti. ...

Aedes triseriatus (Say) (Diptera: Culicidae), the major vector of La Crosse (LAC) virus, efficiently transmits LAC virus both horizontally and transovarially. We compared the vector competence and transovarial transmission ability of Ae. triseriatus, Aedes albopictus Skuse, and Aedes aegypti (L.) for LAC virus. Ae. triseriatus and Ae. albopictus were significantly more susceptible to oral infec...

Acute aerobic exercise (AE) is a major physiological stimulus for skeletal muscle glucose uptake through activation of 5' AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK). However, the regulation of glucose uptake by acute resistance exercise (RE) remains unclear. To investigate the intracellular regulation of glucose uptake after acute RE versus acute AE, male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into three gr...

introduction alveolar echinococcosis (ae) is a chronic, serious and sometimes lethal parasitic infection, which is caused by echinococcus multilocularis (em). ae has been reported to occur in people from the north of iran; however, until now there have been no cases of ae reportedfrom the southern provinces, such as khuzestan. conclusions there were three female patients, 21, 47 and 53 year-old...

Recently, research has progressively highlighted on clues from conventional use of herbal medicines to introduce new anticancer drugs. Aloe-emodin (AE) is a herbal drug with promising anticancer activity. Nevertheless, its clinical utility is handicapped by its low solubility. For the first time, this study aims to the fabrication of surface-functionalized polyethylene glycol liquid crystalline...

Improving nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) in the major cereals is critical for more sustainable nitrogen use in high-input agriculture, but our understanding of the potential for NUE improvement is limited by a paucity of reliable on-farm measurements. Limited on-farm data suggest that agronomic NUE (AE(N)) is lower and more variable than data from trials conducted at research stations, on which ...
