The Neurobehavioral Effects of Buprenorphine and Meloxicam on a Blast-Induced Traumatic Brain Injury Model in the Rat

Frontiers in Neurology, 2021
Previous findings have indicated that pain relieving medications such as opioids and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) may be neuroprotective after traumatic brain injury in rodents, but only limited studies have been performed in a blast ...

Distinguishing AML from MDS: a fixed blast percentage may no longer be optimal

Blood, 2021
In this Perspective, the late Elihu Estey, along with Robert P. Hasserjian and Hartmut Döhner, argues for approaching patients currently identified as having either low-blast-count acute myeloid leukemia (AML; blasts 20%-30%) or myelodysplasia (MDS) with

The Effect of Scaling Building Configuration Blast Experiments on Positive Phase Blast Wave Parameters

Applied Sciences, 2023
Explosions in an urban setting can have a significant negative impact. There is a need to further understand the loading effects caused by the blast’s interaction with structures.

BLAST+: architecture and applications

BMC Bioinformatics, 2009
BackgroundSequence similarity searching is a very important bioinformatics task. While Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST) outperforms exact methods through its use of heuristics, the speed of the current BLAST software is suboptimal for very long ...

BLAT--the BLAST-like alignment tool.

Genome Research, 2002
Analyzing vertebrate genomes requires rapid mRNA/DNA and cross-species protein alignments. A new tool, BLAT, is more accurate and 500 times faster than popular existing tools for mRNA/DNA alignments and 50 times faster for protein alignments at ...
