COMPARISON OF EFFICIENCY OF BG-SENTINEL TRAPS BAITED WITH MICE, MOUSE-LITTER, AND CO2 LURES FOR FIELD SAMPLING OF MALE AND FEMALE AEDES ALBOPICTUS MOSQUITOES

Comparison of Efficiency of BG-Sentinel Traps Baited with Mice, Mouse-Litter, and CO2 Lures for Field Sampling of Male and Female Aedes albopictus Mosquitoes

Determining Laptop Sleeves the abundance and distribution of male mosquitoes in the wild and establishing species seasonality in candidate pilot sites is of particular interest with respect to the use of the sterile-male technique.With the knowledge that using mice as bait in BG-Sentinel traps effectively enhances Aedes albopictus male and female t

Stereotactic body-radiotherapy boost dose of 18 Gy vs 21 Gy in combination with androgen-deprivation therapy and whole-pelvic radiotherapy for intermediate- or high-risk prostate cancer: a study protocol for a randomized controlled, pilot trial

Abstract Background Combination therapy using external-beam radiotherapy (EBRT) with a brachytherapy boost has demonstrated superior biochemical control than dose-escalated EBRT alone.Whereas brachytherapy is disadvantageous because it is an invasive procedure, stereotactic body-radiotherapy (SBRT) using CyberKnife could emulate the dose distributi

Neurotrophic keratopathy: Update in diagnosis and management

The cornea is the most densely sensory innervated tissue in the body.Sensory corneal nerves are essential to maintain ocular surface homeostasis and are involved in the blink reflex, tear production, and the release of trophic factors that are key in the wound healing process.Compromise of corneal sensory nerves leads to neurotrophic keratopathy (N

Beneficial effects of xenon inhalation on behavioral changes in a valproic acid-induced model of autism in rats

Abstract Background Xenon (Xe) is a noble gas that has been used for the last several decades as an anesthetic during surgery.Its antagonistic effect on glutamate subtype of NMDA (N-methyl-d-aspartate) receptors resulted in evaluation of this gas for treatment of CNS pathologies, including psychoemotional disorders.The aim of this study was to asse
