Even after 7 years of the nuclear accident that occurred Accesories in 2011 at the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant (F1NPP), high levels of 137Cs have been detected in ambient aerosols from some polluted areas of Fukushima.Higher levels of radionuclides were often observed in the atmosphere during and after rain events.We presume that biologi
Comparison of airway responses in sheep of different age in precision-cut lung slices (PCLS).
Animal models should display important characteristics of the human disease.Sheep have been considered particularly useful to study allergic airway responses to common natural antigens causing human asthma.A rationale of this study was to establish a model of ovine precision-cut lung slices (PCLS) for the in vitro measurement of airway responses in
Thermodynamically consistent flocking: from discontinuous to continuous transitions
We introduce a family of lattice-gas models of flocking, whose thermodynamically consistent dynamics admits a proper equilibrium limit at vanishing self-propulsion.These models are amenable to Drills an exact coarse-graining which allows us to study their hydrodynamic behavior analytically.We show that the equilibrium limit here belongs to the univ
Successful Long-Term Use of Itraconazole for the Treatment of Aspergillus Diskospondylitis in a Dog
A 5-year-old spayed female German shepherd dog was admitted with a history of generalized stiffness.Neurologic examination revealed mild paraparesis with multifocal spinal pain.Spinal radiographs and magnetic resonance imaging revealed diskospondylitis at L6-7 and multiple sites throughout the thoracolumbar spine.Biopsy of the intervertebral disk a
The Extent of Endorsement of Distal to Proximal Dysfunctional Cognitions in Individuals with Alcohol Dependence: A Comparative Cross-Sectional Study in the Indian Context
Background: Dysfunctional basic cognitions have been suggested as potential vulnerability markers for alcohol dependence (AD).Although there is a growing body of research on the role of distal cognitive vulnerability factors such as early maladaptive schema in the development of AD, little is known about the role of proximal cognitive factors such
