abstract the effect of different larval density of chilo suppressalis walker was evaluated through 2006-2008 on rice infestation in controlled condition of the cages. the results indicated that there were significant effects between dead hearts, white heads and crop yield. the highest dead hearts and white heads were related to the treatment of 32 larvae per m2 and the lowest ones were obtained...

Australia has a shortfall in donated hearts for transplantation. Hearts are usually procured from brain dead donors, but procurement from circulatory dead donors is a potential additional source. However, heart transplantation after circulatory death of the donor may not conform to the dead donor rule. An amendment in law is required to permit heart procurement for transplantation after circula...

A field experiment was conducted to study the relation of different plant characters and shoot fly resistance in sorghum. Leaf glossiness showed high positive correlation with shootfly oviposition and dead hearts. The oviposition percentage on 14 and 21 days after seedling emergence exhibited significant positive correlation with dead hearts. Leaf trichome density on adaxial and abaxial leaf su...

A major role of culture is to imply the expansion spatial and temporal borders being with aim abolish them completely. The meaning death disappearance occupies a special place in many works. Marie Darrieussecq, Christian Boltanski Sophie Calle, artists exploiting imaginary possibilities letters but also installations, give us some visions mortuary rituals adapted accordance changing contemporan...

Background/Introduction Non-heart-beating donation, in the situation where a patient cannot be diagnosed as dead using brainstem criteria, may be an alternative to overcome shortage of donors. Preclinical studies showed that functional recovery of hearts after circulatory determination of death (DCDD) were similar to that of hearts from brain-dead donor. However, there are several experimental ...

In recent weeks, two pioneering cardiac surgery teams, Dhital and colleagues in Australia (1) and Large and colleagues in the UK (2), reported on what could rapidly become the best and sole affordable solution to the relentlessly growing number of patients awaiting heart transplantation, i.e., transplantation of grafts obtained from donors after death following circulatory arrest, previously te...

Roughly 60% of hearts offered for transplantation are rejected because of organ dysfunction. Moreover, hearts from circulatory-dead patients have long been thought to be non-amenable for transplantation, unlike other organs. However, tentative surgical attempts inspired by the knowledge obtained from preclinical research to recover those hearts have been performed, finally culminating in clinic...

ENTOMOLOGY I MR. SANCHEZ NAVARETTE : NO. DR. WIEHE : DO not 'dead hearts' result in some of the drier parts of Mauritius ? MR. WILLIAMS: When there are several borers near the top of a stalk, the top may die. This is different from a 'dead heart'. MR. SANCHEZ NAVARETTE : IS it easy to find several larvae in a single stalk ? MR. WILLIAMS: NO. We usually find one or two. D. W. FEWKES (Trinidad) :...

BACKGROUND Donor brain death upregulates expression of inflammatory mediators in the heart. It is hypothesized that these nonspecific changes trigger and amplify acute rejection in unmodified recipients compared with hearts from normal living donors. We examined the inflammatory and immunological consequences of gradual-onset donor brain death on cardiac allografts after transplantation. METH...
