Abstract Background Removal of trace organic chemicals (TOrCs) in aquatic environments has been intensively studied.Some members of natural microbial communities play a vital role in transforming chemical contaminants, however, complex microbial interactions impede us from gaining adequate understanding of TOrC biotransformation mechanisms.To simpl
Communicating the consensus on climate change to college biology majors: The importance of preaching to the choir
Abstract College and university biology majors who are not climate change deniers may yet be unaware of the degree of scientific consensus on climate change and unprepared to communicate about climate science to others.This study reports on a population of climate change accepting biology majors at a large, private research university in the Americ
Complete and Partial Lesions of the Pyramidal Tract in the Rat Affect Qualitative Measures of Skilled Movements: Impairment in Fixations as a Model for Clumsy Behavior
Little is known about prenatal and perinatal brain injury resulting in subsequent clumsy behavior in children.One candidate motor system is the pyramidal tract.The tract traverses the entire central nervous system and, through direct and indirect connections to the brainstem and spinal cord sensory and motor nuclei, is involved in the learning and
The Prognostic and Predictive Value of DR-70 Immunoassay, A Novel Fibrin-Associated Biomarker, in Patients with Advanced Gastrointestinal Cancers
Aim:DR-70 is a newly developed immunoassay that detects fibrin degradation products in blood.We aimed to evaluate ability of DR-70 in monitoring treatment response in advanced gastrointestinal (GI) cancers.Materials and Methods:We prospectively enrolled patients with advanced GI cancers treated with different lines of systemic therapies.Imaging stu
