background : postmenopausal hot flash is a common disease amongst women with high prevalence of 75%. hormone replacement therapy (hrt) is a well-known relief of symptoms which has disadvantages such as side effects and contraindication for certain types of hormone related diseases and breast or estrogen related cancers. one of the alternatives is acupuncture which is an east asian and more spec...

Hot carrier thermalization is a major source of efficiency loss in solar cells. Because of the subpicosecond time scale and complex physics involved, a microscopic characterization of hot carriers is challenging even for the simplest materials. We develop and apply an ab initio approach based on density functional theory and many-body perturbation theory to investigate hot carriers in semicondu...

Most midlife women have hot flashes. The conventional criterion (≥2 μmho rise/30 s) for classifying hot flashes physiologically has shown poor performance. We improved this performance in the laboratory with Support Vector Machines (SVMs), a pattern classification method. We aimed to compare conventional to SVM methods to classify hot flashes in the ambulatory setting. Thirty-one women with hot...

The appearance of a hot kidney on bone scintigraphy is rare and can be seen due to various factors. In our clinic, we observed hot kidney appearance in two patients to whom technetium-99m methylene diphosphonate (Tc-99m MDP) whole body scan has been performed: a young male adult at the age of 18 who was diagnosed with acute lymphocytic leukemia with a presumptive diagnosis of avascular necrosis...

vasomotor hot flash is the most common and distressful complication of menopausal women. its treatment is the most frequent clinical challenge. as a result, an effective and harmless therapy is needed. this double-blind controlled clinical trial was conducted to determine the effects of licorice roots on the relief and recurrence of hot flash in menopausal women referring to the healthcare cent...

OBJECTIVES To assess whether lifestyle factors, specifically smoking and body mass index (BMI), are associated with the occurrence of any, moderate to severe, or daily hot flashes. METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted among women aged 40-60 years residing in the Baltimore metropolitan area who reported their history of hot flashes through a mailed survey. Logistic regression was used...

Entanglement is typically created via systematic intervention in the time evolution of an initially unentangled state, which can be achieved by coherent control, carefully tailored nondemolition measurements, or dissipation in the presence of properly engineered reservoirs. In this Letter we show that two-component Fermi gases at ~μK temperatures naturally evolve, in the presence of reactive tw...

This experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of the broiler’s genotype (Gt) and ambient temperature (Ta) on performance and core body temperature (Tcore) of broiler chicks. A factorial arrangement of two Gt (Hubbard and ISA J57 chicks) and two Ta (moderate, 23±0.5°C and hot, 33±0.5°C) were used in this study. Performance data (body weight gain, feed intake and feed:gain ratio) were det...

CONSIDER A DISEASE with high mortality, severe morbidity, unknown pathogenesis, imprecise diagnostic features, and no known cure—in short, a condition with no hope. One can only offer soothing words and symptomatic remedy. Then, there is hope. Anecdotal observations lead to a new hypothesis. A pilot trial indicates that 6 of 9 treated patients “unexpectedly recover.” Larger studies follow and s...

JJEE BB CC llaa ssss iicc ss JEB Classics is an occasional column, featuring historic publications from The Journal of Experimental Biology. These articles, written by modern experts in the field, discuss each classic paper’s impact on the field of biology and their own work. A PDF of the original paper accompanies each article, and can be found on the journal’s website as supplemental data. HO...
