Venous thromboembolism (VTE), including deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE), is a preventable disease. Long distant travelers are prone to variable degree to develop VTE. However, the low risk of developing VTE among long-distance travelers and which ...

Major scholars in the field, on the basis of a 3-day consensus, created an in-depth review of current knowledge on the role of diet in cardiovascular disease (CVD), the changing global food system and global dietary patterns, and potential policy solutions. Evidence fro...

Exhaustive hydro-distillation of Descurainia sophia (L.) Webb ex Prantl (flixweed) collected from two different locations (Cangzhou city-Sample 1 and Beijing city-Sample 2) gave in both cases yellowish colored oils in 0.31 and 0.26% yield, respectively. Detailed chemica...

Abstract Although mobile devices have been considerably upgraded to more powerful terminals, yet their lightness feature still impose intrinsic limitations in their computation capability, storage capacity and battery lifetime. With the ability to release and augment th...

The aerodynamic torsor of a vehicle is among the most crucial parameters in new car development. This torsor has been decreased over the years by more than 33%, but beyond that further improvement has become difficult and challenging for car manufacturers. In this conte...

Background: We previously developed an approach to address the impact of missing participant data in meta-analyses of continuous variables in trials that used the same measurement instrument. We extend this approach to meta-analyses including trials that use different i...

Abstract Background Pregnant women with prior venous thromboembolism (VTE) are at risk of recurrence. Prophylaxis with low molecular weight heparin (LWMH) reduces that risk but is inconvenient, costly, and may be associated with increased risks of obstetrical bleeding. ...

Abstract Let Sk0(N, ψ) denote the subspace generated by newforms in the space of cuspforms of weight k and character ψ on Σ0(N). In this paper we study decompositions of Sk0(N, ψ) into direct sums of twists (by Dirichlet characters) of other spaces of newforms. Applied ...

BackgroundDelivery of preventive chemotherapy (PC) through mass drug administration (MDA) is used to control or eliminate five of the most common neglected tropical diseases (NTDs). The success of an MDA campaign relies on the ability of drug distributors and their supe...
