Camping is an outdoor accommodation and type of recreation that susceptible to weather climate change. Camping—in addition the relationships camping shares with weather— remains understudied despite subsectors’ salient economic impact high participation rate. The observable effects non-meteorological/climatological (e.g., pandemic) also a topic has received limited attention. Accordingly, we in...

OBJECTIVES To describe and compare both overuse and underuse of diagnostic upper gastrointestinal endoscopy in different settings. DESIGN Merging of data from three prospective observational studies.

Aedes (Stegomyia) aegypti is an important dengue vector in tropical and subtropical zones throughout the world. A transcriptome of Ae. aegypti vitellogenic fat bodies is described here. The fat body is a dynamic tissue that participates in multiple biochemical functions of intermediate metabolism. A total of 589 randomly selected cDNAs were assembled into 262 clusters based on their primary seq...

To test the hypothesis that insulin acutely enhances the metabolic clearance rate (MCR) of dehydroepiandrosterone in humans, the effect of a short-term insulin infusion on the MCR of dehydroepiandrosterone was assessed in 10 men and 7 women. After an overnight fast, dehydroepiandrosterone was infused at 3.47 mumol/h for 6.5 h. At 240 min, a hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp was begun by infusin...

The diversity of lactic acid bacteria associated with Hussuwa fermentation, a Sudanese fermented sorghum food, was studied using a polyphasic taxonomical approach. Predominant strains could be well characterised based on a combination of phenotypic tests and genotypic methods such as ARDRA, rep-PCR and RAPD-PCR, as well as 16S rRNA gene sequencing of representative strains. Thus, the majority (...
