The interpretation of post-mortem human tissue toxicology levels may be affected by the sampling site chosen. It is important to bear this in mind when looking at the psychoactive constituents of khat (Catha edulis Forsk.) ...
Development of the Pyruvate Kinase Deficiency Diary (PKDD) and Pyruvate Kinase Deficiency Impact Assessment (PKDIA): Disease-Specific Assessments
(2019-12-27)
INTRODUCTION: Currently recommended patient-reported outcome (PRO) measures for patients with pyruvate kinase (PK) deficiency are non-disease-specific. The PK Deficiency Diary (PKDD) and PK Deficiency Impact Assessment ...
Effect of cellulosic filler loading on mechanical and thermal properties of date palm seed/vinyl ester composites
(2019-12-27)
There are numerous better applications of fibre reinforced polymer composites today, when compared with metals and alloys. Many studies have been conducted to further improve the inherent mechanical and thermal properties ...
Reconsolidation or Interference? Aging Effects and the Reactivation of Novel and Familiar Episodic Memories
(2019-12-23)
We examined aging effects in reconsolidation and interference in episodic memory by reactivating memories for well-learned items in young and healthy older adults while controlling memory strength and the degree semantic ...
Rationale and design of "Can Very Low Dose Rivaroxaban (VLDR) in addition to dual antiplatelet therapy improve thrombotic status in acute coronary syndrome (VaLiDate-R)" study : A randomised trial modulating endogenous fibrinolysis in patients with acute coronary syndrome
(2019-12-23)
Impaired endogenous fibrinolysis is novel biomarker that can identify patients with ACS at increased cardiovascular risk. The addition of Very Low Dose Rivaroxaban (VLDR) to dual antiplatelet therapy has been shown to ...

Development of PancRISK, a urine biomarker-based risk score for stratified screening of pancreatic cancer patients
(2019-12-20)
BACKGROUND: An accurate and simple risk prediction model that would facilitate earlier detection of pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is not available at present. In this study, we compare different algorithms of risk ...
The Performance of Photometric Reverberation Mapping at High Redshift and the Reliability of Damped Random Walk Models
(2019-12-20)
Accurate methods for reverberation mapping using photometry are highly sought after since they are inherently less resource intensive than spectroscopic techniques. However, the effectiveness of photometric reverberation ...
Air Quality Control in Mine Refuge Chamber with Ventilation through Pressure Air Pipeline
(2019-12-20)
A combined experimental and numerical study was performed to improve the performance of the ventilation system in a mine refuge chamber (MRC). In the experiment, CO2 cylinders and dispersion pipes were used to simulate the ...
