Evaluation of tacrolimus blood concentration variability after oral, sublingual and enteral route administration, in adult transplant recipients hospitalized in a critical care unit
After the early post-operative stage of solid organ transplant (SOT), oral administration of immunosuppressive drugs such as tacrolimus may be compromised, due to gastrointestinal problems or surgical complications.
Democratization of Genomic Tools to Improve Autochthonous Sheep Breeds Productivity in Developing Countries
While the gap is widening between developed and developing countries in the field of classical animal genetics and breeding, genomic tools are becoming the method of choice in developed countries. The objectives of this study were to 1) demonstrate by a real case how the lack of suitable breeding strategies can be a major threat to autochthonous sheep breeds improvement and 2) show how genomic tools could be an efficient alternative tool to reverse the decrease of native breed productivity. A total of 54,476 fat tail Barabrine lambs from 77 flocks recorded during the period 2010-2014 were used in this study.
Variability of Morphological Markers of Cone and Seeds in Natural Populations and Artificial Plantations of the Scots Pine (Pinus sylvestris L.)
The variability of morphological markers of the reproductive organs in seven natural populations and nine artificial plantations of the Scots pine of Ukrainian Polissya (Volyn, Rivne and Kyiv regions) was studied. The colour of cones, seeds, winged seeds, and the apophysis of the cones of the trees were used as morphological markers.
Analysis of Start, End and Length of the Growing Season and the Number of Rainy Days in Semi-Arid Central Rift Valley of Ethiopia
Ethiopian agriculture is dominated by smallholder farmers with an average per capita land holding of less than a hectare in which the
production system mainly depends on rain fed. In order to characterize the climate of Mieso, Melkassa, and Adami Tulu located in
Central rift valley (CRV) of Ethiopia.
Assessment of Autonomic Function in Subjects Practicing Yoga Using Spectral Analysis and Approximate Entropy Method
Autonomic nervous system involvement in subjects practicing Yoga has rarely been studied and has shown conflicting results. Our main purpose was to assess the effect of Yoga on autonomic function of group of subjects practicing Yoga regularly in comparison with another group with normal control subjects by measuring the frequency gain response of the two groups. Other aim of this study was to determine wither the duration of Yoga practicing correlated with measures of heart rate variability signal (HRV) using approximate entropy index (ApEn).
Variability in the Levels of Vitamin D by Age, Gender, and Race/Ethnicity: Data from National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2007-2010
Data from National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey were used to investigate variability in the levels of vitamin D (25OHD) by age, gender, and race/ethnicity for the general U.S. population for 2007-2010. Data were analyzed separately for those aged 1-11, 12-19, 20-64, and ≥ 65 years.
Hemodynamic and Autonomic Reactivity to Mental and Physical Stress in Lean, Overweight and Obese Subjects
There could be progressive changes in hemodynamic and autonomic parameters causing cardiovascular damage from lean to morbid obesity. We aim to study resting and reactivity of hemodynamic and autonomic parameters to physical and mental stress in lean, overweight and obese subjects of the Oman Family Study (OFS).
Surface ECG Markers may Predict Impending Atrial Fibrillation after Cardiac Surgery
Postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) is a common and dangerous complication following cardiac surgery.
Could Non-Linear Heart Rate Variability Analysis of Short RR Intervals Series Give Clinically Valuable Information in Heart Disease?
New analytic methods based on nonlinear system theory have been developed to characterize the nonlinear features in HR dynamics.
It is known from long time series (24h ECG recordings) that patients with chronic heart failure or stable coronary heart disease have
altered fractal organization in heartbeat dynamics. During such long-time series, many confounding could limit the assessment of
autonomic functions.
Heart Rate Variability and Occupational Stress: Future Directions
Statistics across industrialised societies show that occupational stress results in social and financial costs for individuals, organisations, and economies. Occupational stress is prevalent in many different forms, for example, work intensification, dissatisfaction with current work schedules, feelings of job insecurity, more work being done at odd hours, the spread of new information and communication technologies, and long hours becoming more common.
