Abstract We aim to explore variations of serum inflammation-related proteins in an acute compartment syndrome (ACS) rat model.We collected serum from 25 healthy Sprague-Dawley rats (control group, CG) and 50 rats with tibial fractures, including 25 rats with ACS (ACS group, AG), and 25 rats without ACS (fracture group, FG).Ten samples per group wer
Will Climate Change, Genetic and Demographic Variation or Rat Predation Pose the Greatest Risk for Persistence of an Altitudinally Distributed Island Endemic?
Species endemic to mountains on oceanic islands are subject to a number of existing threats (in particular, invasive species) along with the impacts of a rapidly changing climate.The Lord Howe Island endemic palm Hedyscepe canterburyana is restricted to two mountains above 300 m altitude.Predation by the introduced Black Rat (Rattus rattus) is know
Liming remediates soil acidity and improves crop yield and profitability - a meta-analysis
Soil acidity reduces base cations required for plant growth and may result in phytotoxic concentrations of soluble aluminum.Liming acidic soils is generally promoted as an effective management practice to increase soil pH, base cation concentrations, and ameliorate toxicity caused by aluminum and manganese.Through a global literature review using d
Narrative Transportation as a Factor in the Psychological Impact of Films
