Injury to the airway epithelium has been proposed as a key susceptibility factor for exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB). Our goals were to establish whether airway epithelial cell injury occurs during EIB in athletes and whether inhalation of warm humid air inhibits this injury. Twenty-one young male athletes (10 with a history of EIB) performed two 8-min exercise tests near maximal aer...

background: we aimed to observe the effect of holistic nursing on patients undergoing hematodialysis for uremia who simultaneously were suffering from moderate to severe malnutrition. methods: eighty patients with uremia on maintenance hematodialysis with malnutrition between june 2014 and june 2015 from yantaishan hospital, yantai, shandong, china were included and equally and randomly were di...

<p><strong>Background. </strong>Plant catalogues are basic to propose and manage natural protected areas. Through those censuses plans conservation strategies developed, plus comparisons can be made over time. Updated floristic listings urgent in tropical forests due the threats their biodiversity. <strong>Objective. </strong>Present a structured listing by family,...

Magic-angle sample spinning is one of the cornerstones in high-resolution NMR of solid and semisolid materials. The technique enhances spectral resolution by averaging away rank 2 anisotropic spin interactions, thereby producing isotropic-like spectra with resolved chemical shifts and scalar couplings. In principle, it should be possible to induce similar effects in a static sample if the direc...

The planktonic foraminiferal species Globorotalia truncatulinoides is widely used as a biostratigraphic proxy for the Quaternary in Mediterranean region. High-resolution quantitative studies performed on sediment cores collected central and western Sea evidence significant abundance of G. during Middle Holocene. robust chronological frame allows us to date this bio-event 4.8–4.4 ka Before Prese...

An important management strategy for the development of sustainable agriculture in orchards is ground cover. However, there a knowledge gap regarding effects cover on fruit yield and quality. We performed meta-analysis 580 observations collected from 116 peer-reviewed field studies, to assess quality indicators. Overall, significantly increased yield, soluble solid content, sugar vitamin C cont...
