Outcomes from blind versus ultrasound‐guided uterine evacuation: A retrospective cohort analysis

Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, EarlyView.
There were low complication rates for blind and ultrasound‐guided uterine evacuations. However, ultrasound guidance was utilized for higher risk cases and significantly reduced the volume of retained tissue in complicated cases. The use of ultrasound guidance by doctors and sonographers for uterine evacuation is a compelling choice where available ...

Feedback control of excitability and high K+ induced epileptiform bursts in male rat hippocampal slices with a photocaged adenosine A1 receptor agonist

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose Adenosine is a potent regulator of neurotransmission and neuronal excitability, through activation of Gi coupled adenosine A1 receptors (A1Rs). Adenosine has gained interest as an anticonvulsant because of its endogenous involvement in ending seizure activity, but peripheral side effects require local application.

Expression of Glycoprotein B (gB) Correlates With Poor Prognosis in Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma

Cancer Science, EarlyView.
The extent of EBV lytic replication in NPC has not been fully clarified. Our study demonstrated EBV replication and release in NPC and identified a significant association between expression of the late lytic protein gB and poor prognosis. These findings suggest that late lytic gene products may contribute to tumor progression and that gB represents a ...

Barbara Pym, Excellent Women (1952) For a single woman of a certain age, living alone in postwar London, austerity was more than a set of political and economic imperatives.
