Abstract Sepsis is the leading cause of acute kidney injury (AKI) in the intensive care unit (ICU).Septic AKI is a complex and multifactorial process that is incompletely understood.During sepsis, the disruption of the mucus membrane Other Metal Boxes barrier, a shift in intestinal microbial flora, and microbial translocation may lead to systemic i

Abstract It is becoming increasingly evident that the myriad of microbes in the gut, within cells and attached to body parts (or roots of plants), play crucial roles for the host.Although this has been Schisandra (Schizandra) known for decades, recent developments in molecular biology allow for expanded insight into the abundance and function of th

Two experiments were carried out; one with female pigs and the other with male pigs destined for Teruel dry-cured ham production, to evaluate the effect of immunocastration (entire gilts-EG vs.immunocastrated gilts-IG and surgically castrated males vs.immunocastrated Vacuum Nozzle males-IM) and diet (control vs.high energy vs.low crude protein and

This study examines the consequences of living in segregated and mixed neighbourhoods on ingroup bias and offensive action tendencies, taking into consideration the role of intergroup experiences and perceived threat.Using adult data from K-Star Parts a cross-sectional survey in Belfast, Northern Ireland, we tested a model that examined the relatio

Natural regeneration is the natural process by which plants replace themselves.It is a cost-effective way to re-establish vegetation, and it helps to preserve genetic identity and diversity.In this study, we investigated the natural regeneration of trees in three types of afforested stands in the Taihang Mountains, China, which were dominated by Ro
