A test of the variable nature of density-dependent mortality in fish populations
Veracity of past analyses on the impact of impingement and entrainment of fish in power-plant cooling systems was questioned. Density-dependent dynamics were hypothesized as variable, not constant, making previous analyses based on constant density-dependent or density-independent mortality in …

Estudio de las escalas pronósticas de gravedad al ingreso en UCI y su impacto en la sepsis y la mortalidad
Infection is one of the most frequent reasons for admission to the ICU and mortality secondary to septic shock is high. In the last years, there is a high interest to get diagnostic tools to predict sepsis and mortality and to optimize healthcare resources. Objective: To carry out a descriptive …

New Paradigm of Defibrillation: Towards Painless Therapy
… as ventricular tachycardia: VT) and then degenerates into ventricular fibrillation: VF). Implantable cardioverter defibrillator: ICD) therapy is the only reliable treatment of VT/VF and has been shown to effectively reduce mortality by many clinical trials. However, high-voltage ICD shocks could …

Metabolic reprogramming associated with the epithelial-mesenchymal transition in pancreatic cancer
The high rate of mortality associated with pancreatic cancer is largely attributable to its tendency for metastatic spread and resistance to chemotherapies, both of which partially underlined by the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). While the role of Warburg metabolism has been recognised in …

Effects of Air Versus Ground Transport on the Interfacility Transfer Patient
… is little empirical data to document if the mode of transport makes a difference in the outcomes of the patient. The purpose of this study was to test the following: (1) interfacility patients who are transported by helicopter will have a significant reduction in mortality as compared to patients …

What are the experiences of adolescents during the recovery process from Anorexia Nervosa after receiving inpatient treatment? : an interpretative phenomenological analysis study
… that people with eating disorders have a higher rate of mortality, with Anorexia Nervosa having the highest risk of mortality within eating disorders. Adolescents are most likely to be at risk suggesting closer attention should be given to this population. Despite the move towards outpatient …

Impact of Mosquito Age and Insecticide Exposure on Vector Competence of Aedes albopictus (Diptera: Culicidae) for Zika Virus
… A mosquito's chronological age at time of infection may impact its immune response against virus infection. There are no effective vaccines for most arboviruses, including ZIKV, hence insecticides are the best defense against mosquito transmitted ZIKV. Aedes albopictus is difficult to …

An analysis of the mechanisms of acute kidney injury and novel biomarkers
… systemic disorder that has an extremely high rate of mortality even after detection. Historically, the diagnosis and treatment of AKI was marred by the lack of universally accepted criteria defining AKI. Therefore, reports of incidence and mortality varied widely depending on location and the …

Peroxisomal beta-oxidation of fatty acids in neonatal swine
A high percentage of fatty acids in porcine milk but a limited capacity for hepatic mitochondrial $\beta$-oxidation in piglets, as well as their high rate of mortality, prompted a series of studies to examine development, importance, nutritional regulation, and inducibility of peroxisomal …

Manipulation of the Rift Valley Fever Virus M-Segment for Vaccine Development
Rift Valley fever virus (RVFV) is a phlebovirus of the virus family, Bunyaviridae. Since the early 1900s, RVFV has continually caused economically devastating outbreaks in livestock and severe disease in humans. In pregnant ewes, RVFV infection can cause abortions in up to 100% of animals and high …
