Meningococcal disease is highly transmissible, life-threatening and leaves significant sequelae in survivors.Every year, India, which has a plethora of risk factors for meningococcal disease, reports around 3000 endemic cases.However, the overall disease burden and telemarkskongen flue serogroup distribution are unknown, creating a setting of gener
Updated concepts on the pathophysiology and the clinical management of trauma hemorrhage and coagulopathy
Uncontrolled hemorrhage and subsequent trauma-induced coagulopathy (TIC) are still the principle causes for preventable death after trauma and early detection and aggressive management have here been associated with reduced mortality.Despite increasing knowledge about trauma resuscitation, best practice to treat this newly defined entity is still u
Comparison of two Satellite Imaging Platforms for Evaluating Sand Dune Migration in the Ubari Sand Sea (Libyan Fazzan)
Sand dunes can change location, form or dimensions depending on wind direction and strength.Sand dune movements can be effectively monitored through the comparison of multi-temporal satellite images.However, not all remote sensing platforms are suitable to study sand dunes.This study compares coarse (Landsat) and fine (Worldview) resolution platfor
Light and gravity signals synergize in modulating plant development
Tropisms are growth-mediated plant movements that help plants to respond to changes in environmental stimuli.The availability of water and light, as well as the presence of a constant gravity vector, are all environmental stimuli that plants sense and respond to via directed growth movements (tropisms).The plant response to gravity (gravitropism) a
Molecular interplay of pro-inflammatory transcription factors and non-coding RNAs in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma
Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma is the sixth most common cancer in the developing world.The aggressive nature of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, its tendency for relapse, and the poor survival prospects of patients diagnosed at advanced stages, represent a pressing need for the development of new therapies for this disease.Chronic inflammati
