Imaging methods are giving new insights into plant freezing and the consequent damage that affects survival distribution of both wild crop plants. Ice can enter plants through stomata hydathodes. Intrinsic nucleation also occur. The initial growth ice be as rapid 40 mm s −1 , although barriers limit this growth. Only a small fraction water is changed to in first event. Nevertheless, key importance because it initiate further, potentially lethal, at any site reaches. Some organs tissues avoid...

Qualitative studies suggest that patients with primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) experience significant problems memory and concentration. Studies of nonhepatic disease have linked hypotension cognitive impairment. In this study, we determined the prevalence symptoms in PBC, examined relationship between overt impairment structural brain lesions, explored role autonomic dysfunction. The was 198 PBC. Twenty-eight representative early-stage female PBC 11 matched controls underwent formal testing...

This article argues that gender equality programmes in universities and colleges may operate as a form of ‘moderate feminism’, producing contradictions through simultaneously providing site resistance complicity for feminists. Our argument draws on critical empirical analysis the Athena SWAN (Scientific Women's Academic Network) charter mark, which originated UK.

Part of the confusion arises from customary default practitioners leaders across many cultures label anything positive complimentary as “strengths-based,” whether an approach, theoretical orientation, intervention, company. Additional muddle is created by researchers not making distinctions between very different categories “strength” in human beings –...

Abstract Background Growing numbers of men, trans/masculine, and non-binary people are becoming gestational parents, yet very little is known about experiences pregnancy loss among this diverse population. Methods The study employed a cross sectional design. Interviews were undertaken with convenience sample 51 trans/masculine who had at least one pregnancy, living in either Australia, the United States, Canada, or European Union (including Kingdom). Participants recruited by posts on...

This article proposes that survival may be considered a research method for social researchers, especially if they are undertaking fieldwork within marginalised communities of which part. Drawing on an autoethnographic account conducting while trans, it shows how researchers encounter both challenges common the neoliberal university, and troubles specific to researcher’s identity, touching experiences casualisation, distressing fieldwork, trauma, suicide. The concludes should not held...

Objectives: To determine the relationship between mild vascular cognitive impairment (mVCI) and functional disability in older stroke survivors without dementia. Design: Cohort study. Setting: Stroke patients from representative hospital‐based registers. Participants: Three hundred thirty‐nine dementia, aged 75 older. Measurements: Neuropsychological assessments were completed 3 months poststroke. Activities of daily living (ADLs) evaluated using Bristol scale. Operationalized criteria,...

In Phase 1 (n = 48) we explored function a heterogeneous cohort patients, investigating links depressive symptoms (HADS). phase 2 51 & n 20 controls) major were excluded...

In the case of pregnancy, health care providers dispense advice and protocols around nutrition, exercise, pharmaceutical substance use, mental health, need for regular medical monitoring to protect wellbeing of, essentially, two patients-the pregnant person fetus (Rothman, 2014) .But what happens when science doesn't yet have all answers about how patient behaviors may relate outcomes both fetus-particularly they create potentially-divergent fetus?How do patients understand weigh relative...

We hypothesised that fatigue in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is related to TNF-alpha induced dysregulation of cerebral blood flow. Our objectives were assess fatigue, cognitive function and flow before after initiation anti-TNF treatment. In a pilot study, 15 patients initiating treatment with adalimumab assessed for using visual analogue scale (FACIT-F), panel psychometric tests regional MR perfusion imaging. Patients improved clinically therapy terms DAS28 FACIT-F. Furthermore significant...

Research demonstrates that within‐category visual variability facilitates noun learning; however, the effect of on verb learning is unknown. We habituated 24‐month‐old children to a novel paired with an animated star‐shaped actor. Across multiple trials, saw either single action from category (identical actions condition, for example, travelling while repeatedly changing into circle shape) or (variable shape, then square triangle shape). Four test trials followed habituation. One new (e.g.,...

Orthostatic hypotension (OH) is highly prevalent in older populations. It associated with a reduced quality of life and an increased risk dementia, stroke death. Non-pharmalogical therapies are the recommended first-line therapy preferred to drug treatments by people. However, uptake adherence low evidence for their use lacking. Objective: Determine acceptability non-pharmalogical interventions OH This qualitative study, nested within phase II efficacy recruited 25 people aged over 60 years...

This research identified areas leading experience, such as knowledge, information, consistency, approach, simplification repetition. believe that...
