The Effect of Reticulo-Endothelial Blockade on the Capillary Resistance Responses to Cortisone and Sth
… the capillary resistance. The demonstration that STH antagonizes the capillary resistance effect of cortisone as well as decreasing C.R. when used alone (32) prompted the investigation of the effect of the R.2. blockade on the activity of STH.

Soil-Transmitted Helminths Surveillance in Benin: A Mixed-Methods Analysis of Factors influencing Participation in Longitudinal STH Surveillance Activities
… transmission of soil-transmitted helminths (STH) via intensive approaches to deworming, including community-wide mass drug administration (MDA). Transitioning from a policy of STH control to transmission interruption will require rethinking existing STH surveillance protocols. Surveillance …

Football Shoulder Pad Design and Its Effect on Head Kinematics in Shoulder-to-Helmet Impacts
Shoulder-to-helmet (STH) impacts have been shown to cause approximately twenty percent of concussions in football, yet little research has investigated shoulder pad design and STH impacts. While shoulder pads are designed to protect the player wearing them, they have the potential to better protect …

Soil-Transmitted Helminth Infections, Nutrition and Growth in School-age Children from Rural Communities in Honduras
Background: Soil-transmitted helminth (STH) infections are endemic in Honduras but their impact on children’s health is not well studied. Objectives: To evaluate the prevalence and intensity of STH infections and their association with nutrition and growth in a sample of Honduran children. …

Die extrazelluläre Domäne der humanen Guanylatzyklase C und ihre Liganden: Rekombinante Expression, strukturelle Charakterisierung und Aktivitätsbestimmung
… sowie dem bakteriellen hitzestabilen Enterotoxin STh ist von entscheidender Bedeutung für die Regulation des Elektrolyt- und Wasserhaushalts im Dünndarm. Guanylin, Uroguanylin und STh sind 15 bis 19 Aminosäuren lange, disulfidreiche Peptide. Ihre Bindung an die extrazelluläre Domäne (ECD) von GC-C …

Acipimox during Short-Term Exercise Exerts A Negative Feedback of Growth Hormone on Ghrelin Secretion in Patients with Bulimia Nervosa and in Healthy Women: The Role of Lipolysis
… působí jako sekretagog růstového hormonu (STH). Potenciální zpětnovazebný mechanismus STH a ghrelinu mezi žaludkem a hypofýzou byl nedávno zaznamenán. Acipimox (Aci), analog kyseliny nikotinové, inhibuje lipolýzu v tukové tkáni (TT) a tím snižuje plazmatické hladiny glycerolu a volných …

Ocean-surface heterogeneity mapping: exploiting hypertemporal datasets in support of seascape ecology research
… method to map Spatio-Temporal Heterogeneity (STH) using hypertemporal datasets is then presented. The Ocean-surface Heterogeneity MApping (OHMA) algorithm uses unsupervised ISODATA clustering, an ensemble approach, and a data-driven optimisation process, to identify where boundaries between …

Bi-Modal Excitation of a Supersonic Rectangular Jet
… with the ROM. However in the far field, StH = 0.25 appears as the dominant frequency at the peak emissivity angle, though StH = 0.15 still appeared as a secondary peak and dominated lower angles. The ROM shows the requirement of natural amplification, thus StH = 0.15 is taken as the …

The assessment of the contamination of soil-transmitted helminth life stages in the environment and under fingernails
Soil-transmitted helminths (STHs) are a group of intestinal parasitic worms that are transmitted through contact with infectious stages in the environment (often soil, which refers to their common name). The STH species that predominantly infect humans are Ascaris lumbricoides Trichuris trichiura …

Forbidden-Patterns and Word Extensions for Concatenation Hierarchies
… the closely related Straubing-Thérien hierarchy (STH). The question whether the single levels of these hierarchies are decidable is still open and is known as the dot-depth problem. In this thesis we prove/reprove the decidability of some lower levels of both hierarchies. More precisely, we …

Relationships Between Environmental Factors and Fungi on Occupants' Perceptions of Indoor Air Quality
… Hall (JJH) and Science and Technology Hall (STH). Fifty-three questionnaires were completed by faculty and staff in the three buildings. The questionnaires, in addition to a walkthrough inspection and information from the Environmental Health and Safety Director and building coordinators …

Regulation of HPV infection and cervical cancer development following a helminth infection
Soil-transmi,ed helminth (STH) infec7ons elicit systemic immune responses and have the ability to alter suscep7bility to other infec7ons in sites uncolonized by the STH. Recent work published by our group demonstrated that hookworm infec7on increased pathology in the female genital tract (FGT) …

Epidemiology, molecular characterisation and toxin regulation of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) isolated from children with diarrhoea
… heat-labile toxin (LT) or heat-stable toxin (STh) alone were isolated in 40% of the children, respectively; the remaining ETEC isolates produced both toxins. The most common CFs were CFA/I and CS14, which were mainly associated with STh strains whereas LT-only strains were significantly more …

Molecular Detection for the Apicomplexan Parasites Cyclospora cayetanensis and Cryptosporidium spp.
… study on soil-transmitted helminths (STH) reported positive by the modified Ziehl-Neelsen staining were also used. The PCR protocol comprised the amplification of the 18S rRNA gene. To optimize the Cryptosporidium spp. PCR assay, a first step was to identify positive samples among …

Epidemiology and molecular characterization of human and canine hookworm
Among the soil-transmitted helminths (STH), hookworms are a worldwide problem in both humans and animals. They cause non-specific gastrointestinal symptoms, and in young children and animals, they can cause stunting, malnutrition and anemia. Canine hookworms have significant zoonotic potential as a …

Enhancing solar fuel synthesis via complementary approaches: round-the-clock operation and heat utilisation
… The system provides a solar-to-hydrogen (STH) efficiency of 1.3% under simulated solar irradiation and an onset voltage for water electrolysis at 1.8 V. The second approach integrates a thermoelectric (TE) with a PEC device, where TE converts wasted heat into additional electricity. A …

Development and application of genomic tools for characterising genetic variation in soil-transmitted helminths
Soil-transmitted helminths (STHs) are intestinal parasitic worms that represent a significant global health challenge, perpetuating poverty and disease. For decades, the diagnosis of STHs has depended on the microscopic detection and identification of eggs or larvae in faecal samples. However, …
