The isolated North Atlantic island of Bermuda, lying 1000 km ESE of Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, USA, has received scant attention from bryologists since the last compilations of nearly a century ago (EG Britton, 1918; Evans, 1918), plus a few additions (Andrews, 1923; Dixon, 1936). Of the mosses listed by EG Britton (1918), those that are not widespread in both Europe and North America are o...

Background & Aim: Punica granatum L. (pomegranate) is a widely used plant that has high nutritional value .This study evaluated prevention effect of hydro alcoholic extract of Punica granatum flower and leaves ethylene glycol-induced Nephrolithiasis in Wistar rats. Experimental: 20 male Wistar rats were randomly divided into 4 equal groups. G...

OBJECTIVES To review the available systemic treatments for women with recurrent ovarian cancer. METHODS A literature review was conducted for recurrent ovarian cancer articles in English, including randomized trials, Phase II trials, or reviews. RESULTS We discuss the efficacy and toxicity outcomes associated with systemic therapy for platinum-sensitive and platinum-resistant ovarian cancer...

Therapists and patients enjoy and benefit from interventions that use electronic games (EG) in health care and mental health settings, with a variety of diagnoses and therapeutic goals. We reviewed the use of electronic games designed specifically for a therapeutic purpose, electronic games for psychotherapy (EGP), also called serious games, and commercially produced games used as an adjunct to...

We report the discovery of a partial ∼ 2 diameter non-thermal radio shell coincident with Taz, the pulsar wind nebula (PWN) in the error box of the apparently variable γ-ray source 3EG J1809−2328. We propose that this radio shell is a newly identified supernova remnant (SNR G7.5−1.7) associated with the PWN. The SNR surrounds an amorphous region of thermal X-rays detected in archival ROSAT and ...

Oncology outcomes research could benefit from the use of an oncology-specific electronic medical record (EMR) network. The benefits and challenges of using EMR in general health research have been investigated; however, the utility of EMR for oncology outcomes research has not been explored. Compared to current available oncology databases and registries, an oncology-specific EMR could provide ...

This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of subcutaneous administration of synthetic eugenol (EG) for disbudding of goat kids, as a new chemical method. Thirty apparently healthy Raieni (Cashmere) goat kids (five-day-old) were divided randomly into six groups (n = 5). In the pathology (P) groups (P3, P8 and P60 according to the sample collection day after...

Transport infrastructure connectivity is a spatial basis for economic development and the spillover feedback effects of transport investment (TII) have become an impetus growth (EG). However, existing research does not consider TII on gross EG multiple structures. To explore relationships functional routes between EG, Durbin model (SDM) was used to empirically analyze effect from geographical p...

exercise, I used to be very general in my instructions: 20 to 30 minutes, at least 2 or 3 times a week, of whatever activity you like most (eg, walking, playing tennis, or swimming). My thought, to the extent I thought about it at all, was that if they liked the activity they engaged in, they would be more likely to persist in it. Similarly, if a patient told me that she swam 3 times a week, I ...

Background: Millennium Ecosystem Assessment categorizes the ecosystem services into four types i.e. Supporting, Provisioning, Regulatory and Cultural services. The MA defines cultural in terms of “nonmaterial benefits people obtain from ecosystems,” specifically lists “cultural diversity, spiritual religious values, knowledge systems, educational inspiration, aesthetic social relations, sense p...
