The Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA) methodology has evolved remarkably in social science research. Simultaneously, the use of QCA too often lags behind methodological recommendations good practice. Improper is a serious obstacle for to enrich ‑methodology toolkit. We explore whether coherence analytic approaches can help us understand practices applied by performing systematic review 86 ...

Recent epidemiological studies suggest a positive correlation between diets rich in fruits and vegetables and a reduced incidence of chronic diseases. This beneficial effect is partially attributed to phenolic phytochemicals, a complex group of secondary metabolites that provide flavor and color to fruits, vegetables, and grains. More than 8,000 different phenolic phytochemicals belonging to di...

The antioxidant capacity and total phenolic content of seeds of three types of pitaya namely Hylocereus polyrhizus, Hylocereus undatus and Selenicereus megalanthus and the fatty acid content of pitaya seeds oil were examined in this study. The ethanolic extracts of H. polyrhizus seeds showed significantly high (p<0.05) total phenolic (43.9 mg GAE/100g dry weight) and flavonoid (50.8 mg CAE /100...

There is a need for objective, sensitive, and reproducible methods of assessing skin sclerosis. We successfully adapted ultrasound-based, noninvasive quantifying tissue stiffness use on the skin: acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI) imaging shear wave elasticity (SWEI) (Lee et al., 2015Lee S.J.

In general terms, the oxygen supply to the outer retina, mainly photoreceptors, comes from the choroidal circulation, and the supply to the inner half of the retina, consisting of second and third order neurons and glia, comes from the retinal circulation. However, even under normal conditions the situation is more complex, with the outer retina relying for up to 20% of its oxygen supply on the...

Background: Neuronal antibodies that show immunoreactivity across a broad range of species are important toolsfor comparative neuroanatomy. Nonetheless, the current antibody repertoire for non-model invertebrates is limited.Currently, only antibodies against the neuropeptide RFamide and the monoamine transmitter serotonin areextensively used. These antibodies label respective neuron...
