Deep-sea and ice-core records show that interglacial periods were overall less "warm" before about 420 000 years ago than Pants after, with relatively higher ice volume and lower greenhouse gases concentration.This is particularly the case for the interglacial Marine Isotope Stage 13 which occurred about 500 000 years ago.However, by cont
Scrub typhus is a zoonotic disease caused by an obligate intracellular gram-negative Shakes bacterium of the family Rickettsiaceae called Orientia tsutsugamushi.We are reporting three cases: Case 1:- A 42 year old male, farmer who presented with fever, rash and pandigital gangrene.Case 2:- A 52 year old female positive for scrub typhus treated came
Abstract Background The physiological function of the prion protein remains largely elusive while its key role in prion infection has been expansively documented.To potentially assess this conundrum, we performed a comparative transcriptomic analysis of the brain of wild-type mice with that of transgenic mice invalidated at this locus either at the
BACKGROUND:Both procalcitonin (PCT) and soluble triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-1 (sTREM-1) have been investigated separately as indicators of infection in patients with Shakes autoimmune diseases.Our study simultaneously evaluated both PCT and sTREM-1 along with C-reactive protein (CRP) in febrile patients with autoimmune diseases.M
We propose that self-affirmation may endow people more psychological resources to buffer against the negative influence of rejecting unfair offers in the classic ultimatum game (UG) and further lead to a stronger tendency to reject those offers.We test this possibility by conducting an event-related potential (ERP) study about the UG, with the ERP
