BACKGROUND The nucleus raphe magnus (NRM) is involved in thermoregulatory processing. There is a correlation between changes in the firing rates of the cells in the NRM and the application of the peripheral thermal stimulus. INTRODUCTION we examined the effect of reversible inactivation and excitation of NRM on mechanisms involved in tail blood flow (TBF) regulation in hypothermia. METHODS ...

The phenomenon of negative remanent magnetization (NRM) has been observed experimentally in a number of heterogeneous magnetic systems and has been considered anomalous. The existence of NRM in homogenous magnetic materials is still in debate, mainly due to the lack of compelling support from experimental data and a convincing theoretical explanation for its thermodynamic validation. Here we re...

OBJECTIVES Nucleus Raphe Magnus (NRM) that is involved in the regulation of body temperature contains nitric oxide (NO) synthase. Considering the effect of NO on skin blood flow control, in this study, we assessed its thermoregulatory role within the raphe magnus. MATERIALS AND METHODS To this end, tail blood flow of male Wistar rats was measured by laser doppler following the induction of hy...

17 Decision Support Systems (DSSs) can play a powerful role in Natural Resource 18 Management (NRM), by allowing more effective and collective use of information in 19 addressing complex and often poorly structured questions. CSIRO Tropical Agriculture, in 20 Townsville Australia, is developing a DSS generator that provides a flexible environment 21 for the construction of decision support tool...

Nonmyeloablative regimens for allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) have been developed for patients ineligible for myeloablative conditioning. We compared regimen-related toxicities (RRTs) and nonrelapse mortality (NRM) in 73 nonmyeloablative and 73 myeloablative recipients of HLA-matched related donor HCT, using the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Toxicity Criteria. Nonmy...

Problems related to natural resource management (NRM) are typically complex and require integration of information across several scales and disciplines. Operational concepts to support such integration are scarce. Systems analysis and modelling can be helpful but the complexity of environmental systems also requires application of appropriate upscaling methods. Simultaneous assessment and mode...

The effects of stimulating locus coeruleus (LC) and nucleus raphe magnus (NRM) on lumbar dorsal horn cells that had been denervated by dorsal rhizotomy were studied. Both LC and NRM stimulation inhibited the responses of dorsal horn cells from the side of the cord with intact dorsal roots. However, when cells from the side of the spinal cord that had had prior rhizotomies were studied, half of ...

We retrospectively compared morbidity and non-relapse mortality (NRM) after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT) in 236 adults with leukemia and myelodysplastic syndrome conditioned with cyclophosphamide plus oral versus intravenous busulfan. Our findings demonstrate that conditioning therapy with intravenous busulfan resulted in lower morbidity and NRM than did oral busulfan.
