Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide.We leveraged behavioural economics principles to encourage screening for cardiovascular disease risk factors.In a pilot, 60 high-risk patients were offered a UTI CLEANSE complimentary home BP monitor and a lipid test through more convenient means (local lab, home phlebot
Characterization of Endotrypanum Parasites Using Specific Monoclonal Antibodies
A large number of Endotrypanum stocks (representing an heterogeneous population of strains) have been screened against a panel of monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) derived for selected species of Nursing Endotrypanum or Leishmania, to see whether this approach could be used to group/differentiate further among these parasites.Using different immunologic
Enactivism and Material Culture: How Enactivism Could Redefine Enculturation Processes
Culture has traditionally been considered as a set of knowledge, beliefs, arts, laws, norms, and morals, acquired by a human being as a member of a group.Some anthropologists interpret this as a set of abstract representations, such as information or knowledge, while others interpret it as behavioral control mechanisms.These views assume that the c
SNHG1: Redefining the Landscape of Hepatocellular Carcinoma through Long Noncoding RNAs
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) represents a global health concern, ranking as the sixth most common malignancy worldwide and the third leading cause of cancer-related mortality.Despite advances in research, the diagnosis and prognosis of such malignancy remain challenging.Alpha-fetoprotein, the current serum biomarker used in the management of HCC,
Modular switches shift monarch butterfly migratory flight behavior at their Mexican overwintering sites
Summary: Eastern North American migratory monarch butterflies exhibit migratory behavioral states in fall and spring characterized by sun-dependent oriented flight.However, it is unclear how monarchs transition between these behavioral states at their overwintering site.Using a modified Mouritsen-Frost flight simulator, we confirm individual direct
