Mediterranean-climate regions (med-regions) are global hotspots of endemism 40 facing mounting environmental threats associated with human-related activities, including the ecological impacts associated with non-native species introductions. We review freshwater fish introductions across med-regions to evaluate the influences of non-native fishes on the biogeography of taxonomic and functional diversity. Our synthesis...
We have previously shown that diets enriched with (n-3) fatty acids reduced the delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) skin reaction to keyhole limpet haemocyanin (KLH) in geriatric-Beagles. Although the amount of α-tocopheryl acetate in diets of the previous study exceeded requirements, plasma α-tocopherol concentration was significantly lower in dogs fed the high...

Background: Academic medical centers are examining relationships with the pharmaceutical industry
and making changes to limit interactions. Most doctors, however, practice outside of academic institutions
and see pharmaceutical detailers and accept drug samples and gifts. Little guidance for practicing
physicians exists about transforming practices to become pharma-free. Consideration must be...
Volcán Miño (21°11'S) is located on the westernmost periphery of a longlived complex of stratovolcarioes and domes called the Aucanquilcha Complex. The Aucanquilcha Complex ranges in age from 11 Ma to 1-lolocene and lies along the main N-S trending axis of Quaternary volcanoes in the Andean Central Volcanic Zone (CVZ)....
A common perspective promoted by health care professionals is that exercise may help reduce symptoms and improve activities of daily living among persons with multiple sclerosis (MS).

Several aspects of the potent inhibition of bovine plasma amine
oxidase (PAO) by hydrazines were investigated by kinetic and preparative
means. The inhibition was classified as pseudo-irreversible
by the method of Ackerman and Potter (Proc. Soc. Exptl. Biol. Med.
72, 1 (1949), and was found to exhibit Zone B kinetic...

After 22 years of eruption at Kilauea Volcano, Hawai'i, an environmental, epidemiological, and ethnographic study was conducted to assess for adverse health effects from chronic exposure to volcanogernc air pollution. Environmental data from 2003 indicated that Kau District, from 37 to 74 km downwind from the eruption, was being exposed...
Pharmacy technicians play a critical role in delivering patient care. As part of their regular job roles, however, these individuals spend time walking on the campuses of the healthcare facilities at which they work. This walking or ‘move-time’ is considered nonvalue-added time and constitutes a cost for the organization.

BACKGROUND: Whether limitation in ability to perform activities of daily living (ADL) or gait speed can identify subgroups of elders in whom the association of systolic (SBP) and diastolic (DBP) blood pressure with cardiovascular events and death differs is not well established.
METHODS: We evaluated whether ADL and gait speed...
This thesis is based on a study conducted for the state of Oregon's Office of Mental Health Services (OMHS). OMHS' primary research objectives included 1) the identification of the unfunded population (individuals who are uninsured and ineligible for Medicaid) who seek services at community mental health programs and 2) an...
