If a patient presents with blood in the oral cavity with no obvious source, generally upper airway, pulmonary, or gastroesophageal lesions are considered likely bleeding foci. The tongue base is an unusual site for laryngopharyngeal varices and

Although there are already compelling criticisms of these bans, the new stricter bans should be met with a new set of criticisms.People's Percept

To carry out everyday visual tasks, we make multiple eye movements that can be programmed in parallel. However, the role of disengagement in the parallel pro

Es handelt sich dabei jedoch um ein Symptom und kein eigenständiges Krankheitsbild. Inkontinenz tritt infolge einer Störung in der Speicher- oder Entleerungsfunktion der Blase auf. Die Prävalenz für die Belastungsinkontinenz bei Mädchen bzw. Frauen von 15–64 Jahren liegt zwischen 10 und 40 %, bei Frauen

Tamoxifen and aromatase inhibitors have been the mainstay of endocrine therapy and have improved breast cancer survival. However, a large number of patients experience disease recurrence either during or following completion of endocrine therapy. Recent improvements in our underst

Nevertheless, the effects of APN on diastolic dysfunction in pressure overload model induced by transverse aorta constriction (TAC) remain to be further elucidated. Here, we demonstrated that treatment of APN attenuated diastolic dysfun

However, some selenoproteins likely do not exert enzymatic activity by themselves and selenoprotein K (SELENOK) is one such selenoprotein fam

Our results indicate that men's level of conformity to certain masculine norms is associated with their postsecondary field of study. In particular, we find men's adherence to the masculine norm of emotional control is associated negatively with sele
