Optimizing Donor Kidneys During Normothermic Machine Perfusion With Sevoflurane: Design of a Research Model

Artificial Organs, EarlyView.
A stable kidney normothermic machine perfusion model with sevoflurane delivery via a vaporizer was established, enabling mechanistic and therapeutic studies of ischemia–reperfusion injury. ABSTRACT Normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) of donor kidneys provides an opportunity not only for organ preservation but also for therapeutic intervention to ...

Using climate information for improved health in Africa: relevance, constraints and opportunities

Geospatial Health, 2006
Good health status is one of the primary aspirations of human social development and, as a consequence, health indicators are key components of the human development indices by which we measure progress toward sustainable development.

Optimizing Prolonged (6 h) Normothermic Machine Perfusion of Donor Kidneys (PROPER Study)

Artificial Organs, EarlyView.
Prolonged ex situ normothermic machine perfusion of donor kidneys up to 6 h is feasible, maintaining viability and histological integrity. Key protocol optimizations include fresh red blood cells, albumin supplementation, and urine recirculation—laying the groundwork for assessment and potential pretransplant interventions in future clinical trials ...

Neuronal hyperexcitability: A key to unraveling hippocampal synaptic dysfunction in Lafora disease

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Objective Lafora disease (LD) is a rare progressive disorder caused by mutations in the EPM2A or EPM2B genes, characterized by the accumulation of Lafora bodies, drug‐resistant epilepsy, and cognitive decline. To investigate the early molecular mechanisms of LD, we studied electrophysiological changes in the dentate gyrus (DG ...

Spatial habitat partitioning enables coexistence of three Gobiidae species in estuarine environments

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract This study examines resource partitioning (feeding morphology, diet and habitat partitioning) among three gobiid species, the Knysna sandgoby Psammogobius knysnaensis, the prison goby Caffrogobius gilchristi and the river goby Glossogobius callidus, within an estuarine environment.

Iris Recognition Without Iris Normalization [PDF]

Journal of Computer Science, 2010
Problem statement: In any real time biometric system processing speed and recognition time are crucial parameters. Reducing processing time involves many parameters like normalization, FAR, FRR, management of eyelid and eyelash occlusions, size of signature etc. Normalization consumes substantial amount of time of the system.

Shedding light on the parasite communities and diet of the deep‐sea shark Deania profundorum (Smith & Radcliffe, 1912) (Squaliform: Centrophoridae) from the Avilés Canyon (southern Bay of Biscay)

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Deep‐sea elasmobranchs are less resilient to the increasing scale of anthropogenic impacts such as fisheries, owing to their life‐history traits. The necessity for proper management measures is hampered by the scant knowledge on these taxa and their biology. Here we provide the first comprehensive insight into the parasite infracommunities and

Size‐selective mortality evolutionarily alters collective behaviour in response to predation risk in a zebrafish (Danio rerio) harvest‐induced selection model

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Intensive multigenerational size‐selective mortality has been found to alter collective properties like shoaling via evolutionary adaptations of individual‐level behavioural traits. For example, experimental populations of zebrafish (Danio rerio) experiencing intensive large size‐selective mortality over multiple generations developed less ...
