Establishment of the deuterium oxide dilution method as a new possibility for determining the transendothelial water permeabilityNARA Subscribed
Increase in transendothelial water permeability is an essential etiological factor in a variety of diseases like edema and shock. Despite the high clinical relevance, there has been no precise method to detect transendothelial water flow until now. The deuterium oxide (D 2 O) dilution method, already established for measuring transepithelial water transport, was used to precisely determine the transendothelial water permeabili...
The Lagrangian Atmospheric Radionuclide Transport Model (ARTM) — development, description and sensitivity analysisNARA Subscribed
Atmospheric dispersion models are applied to describe and predict the dispersion of emitted plumes. Here, we describe the Lagrangian Atmospheric Radionuclide Transport Model (ARTM) 2.8.0 which was developed to simulate the atmospheric dispersion of the emissions of nuclear facilities under routine operation for regulatory purposes over annual time scales. ARTM includes a diagnostic wind field model and a particle dispersion mo...
Relationship of psychotropic medication use with physical function among postmenopausal womenNARA Subscribed
To examine cross-sectional and longitudinal relationships of psychotropic medications with physical function after menopause. Analyses involved 4557 Women’s Health Initiative Long Life Study (WHI-LLS) participants (mean age at WHI enrollment (1993–1998): 62.8 years). Antidepressant, anxiolytic, and sedative/hypnotic medications were evaluated at WHI enrollment and 3-year follow-up visits. Performance-based physical function [S...
Prolonging survival in good health is a fundamental societal goal. However, the leading determinants of disability-free survival in healthy older people have not been well established. Data from ASPREE, a bi-national placebo-controlled trial of aspirin with 4.7 years median follow-up, was analysed. At enrolment, participants were healthy and without prior cardiovascular events, dementia or persistent physical disability. Disab...
Political and economic transitions have had substantial impacts on forest conservation. Where transitions are underway or anticipated, historical precedent and methods for systematically assessing future trends should be used to anticipate likely threats to forest conservation and design appropriate and prescient policy measures to counteract them. Myanmar is transitioning from an authoritarian, centralized state with a highly...
Canine distemper virus in the Serengeti ecosystem: molecular adaptation to different carnivore speciesNARA Subscribed
Was the 1993/1994 fatal canine distemper virus ( CDV ) epidemic in lions and spotted hyaenas in the Serengeti ecosystem caused by the recent spillover of a virulent domestic dog strain or one well adapted to these noncanids? We examine this question using sequence data from 13 ‘Serengeti’ strains including five complete genomes obtained between 1993 and 2011. Phylogenetic and haplotype network analyses reveal that strains from...
