(2019-03-01)This experiment was carried out at the University Farm, Department of Animal Science, Faculty of Agriculture, Khon Kaen University, Khon Kaen, Thailand during April 2011 to September 2012. The work aimed to study effect ... -
Effect of remote ischaemic conditioning on clinical outcomes in patients with acute myocardial infarction (CONDI-2/ERIC-PPCI): a single-blind randomised controlled trial
(2019-09-06)Background Remote ischaemic conditioning with transient ischaemia and reperfusion applied to the arm has been shown to reduce myocardial infarct size in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing ... -
Comparison of Oral, Intranasal and Aerosol Administration of Amiodarone in Rats as a Model of Pulmonary Phospholipidosis.
(2019-07-17)‘Foamy’ alveolar macrophages (FAM) observed in nonclinical toxicology studies during inhaled drug development may indicate drug-induced phospholipidosis, but can also derive from adaptive non-adverse mechanisms. Orally ... -
Shared decision making should be an integral part of physiotherapy practice
(2019-08-21)Shared decision making is integral to high-quality, evidence-based, and patient-centred physiotherapy practice. It involves therapists and patients collaboratively making a health-related decision after having discussed ... -
The use of new psychoactive substances (NPS) in young people and its association with mental health issues; a systematic review
(2019-09-10)Introduction: Over the past ten years, a large number of New Psychoactive Substances (NPS) have entered the recreational drug scenario. NPS intake has been associated with health-related risks, and especially so for ... -
Feedback from massive stars at low metallicities : MUSE observations of N44 and N180 in the Large Magellanic Cloud
(2018-10-05)We present MUSE integral field data of two HII region complexes in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), N44 and N180. Both regions consist of a main superbubble and a number of smaller, more compact HII regions that formed ... -
A Color-Excess Extinction map of the Southern Galactic disk from the VVV and GLIMPSE Surveys
(2019-09-01)An improved high-resolution and deep A$_{Ks}$ foreground dust extinction map is presented for the Galactic disk area within 295< l < 350 degrees, -1.0<b<+1.0 degrees. At some longitudes the map reaches up to $|b|~2.25 ... -
A case of repetitivemyocardial infarction with unobstructed coronaries due to Churg-Strauss syndrome
(2019-06-01)BackgroundMyocardial infarction is most commonly caused by thrombosis occurring on a background of coronary atherosclerosis, resulting in reduced coronary flow. Less often, myocardial infarction can occur in the absence ... -
Impact of lipoprotein apheresis on thrombotic parameters in patients with refractory angina and raised lipoprotein(a) : Findings from a randomized controlled cross-over trial
(2019-07-02)Background: Raised lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] is a cardiovascular risk factor common in patients with refractory angina. The apolipoprotein(a) component of Lp(a) exhibits structural homology with plasminogen and can enhance ... -

(2019-09-01)Increased bile acids in the colon can evoke increased epithelial secretion resulting in diarrhea but little is known whether colonic bile acids contribute to abdominal pain. This study aimed to investigate the mechanisms ... -
Opportunities for financing sustainable development using complementary local currencies
(2019-09-02)Financing building retrofit projects that contribute to climate change mitigation has always represented a significant barrier. With 28% of global emissions coming from existing buildings, it is of paramount importance to ... -
Retrieval of ice-nucleating particle concentrations from lidar observations and comparison with UAV in situ measurements
(2019-09-09)Aerosols that are efficient ice-nucleating particles (INPs) are crucial for the formation of cloud ice via heterogeneous nucleation in the atmosphere. The distribution of INPs on a large spatial scale and as a function of ... -
