Objectives To identify the prevalence of abnormal UDT among oncologic pain patients, associated demographic and clinical factors, and the most common abnormal substances. Methods A retrospective chart review of 2472 patients with a cancer diagnosis and documented UDT in a single center was conducted ...

Absence of cardiovascular risk factors (CVRFs) is traditionally considered low risk for atherosclerosis; however, individuals without CVRFs, as currently defined, still have events. Objectives This study sought to identify predictors of subclinical atherosclerosis in CVRF-free individuals. Methods Participan...
Root-associated microbes can alleviate plant abiotic stresses, thus potentially supporting adaptation to a changing climate or to novel environments during range expansion. While climate change is extending plant species fundamental niches northward, the distribution and colonization of mutualists (e.g., a...
Heavy alcohol consumption is a major cause of morbidity and mortality. Globally, alcohol per-capita consumption rose from 5.5 litres in 2005 to 6.4 litres in 2016 and is projected to increase further to 7.6 litres in 2030. In 2019, an estimated 25% of global cirrhosis deaths were ...
According to the WHO, Africa is the only continent in the world where communicable diseases continue to be the main cause of death. However it predicts that in the next 20 years, the main cause of death will be related primarily to ischemic heart disease, followed by cerebrovascular diseases ...
There are many newborns who suffer a life-threatening complication in many low-resource countries. Neonatal near miss has been proposed as a tool to evaluate and improve the quality of neonatal care. However, there has been limited evidence on magnitude
A wealth of genome sequences has provided thousands of genes of unknown function, but identification of functions for the large numbers of hypothetical genes in phytopathogens remains a challenge that impacts all research on plant-microbe interactions. Decades of research on the molecular basis of pa...
0.03), and the use of automatic scrapers in the free-stall barn compared with tractor scrapers (increase in locomotion score=0.10±0.03). These variables were correlated with many other management variables. The use of automatic scrapers was correlated with the use of sawdust on rubber mats in ...
Transcriptional activation in eukaryotes occurs in the context of DNA organized into a higher order chromatin structure. The basic unit of chromatin is the nucleosome, with 146 bp of DNA wrapped nearly twice around a histone octamer containing two each of the core histones H2A, H2B, H3, and H4...
