Recent Myocardial Infarction is Associated With Increased Risk in Older Adults With Acute Ischemic Stroke Receiving Thrombolytic Therapy.
(Journal of the American Heart Association, 2019-08)Background Intravenous recombinant tissue-type plasminogen activator (rtPA) remains the only medical therapy to improve outcomes for acute ischemic stroke (AIS), but the safety of rtPA in AIS patients with a history of recent ... -
Association Between Thrombolytic Door-to-Needle Time and 1-Year Mortality and Readmission in Patients With Acute Ischemic Stroke.
(JAMA, 2020-06)Importance:Earlier administration of intravenous tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) in acute ischemic stroke is associated with reduced mortality by the time of hospital discharge and better functional outcomes at 3 months. ... -
Memorializing the Middle Passage on the Atlantic seabed in Areas Beyond National Jurisdiction
(Marine Policy, 2020-01-01)© 2020 The Authors More than 12.5 million Africans were held captive on 40,000+ voyages during the transatlantic slave trade. Many did not survive the voyage and the Atlantic seabed became their final resting place. Exploration ... -
Racial/Ethnic and Sex Differences in Emergency Medical Services Transport Among Hospitalized US Stroke Patients: Analysis of the National Get With The Guidelines-Stroke Registry.
(Journal of the American Heart Association, 2015-08-12)Differences in activation of emergency medical services (EMS) may contribute to racial/ethnic and sex disparities in stroke outcomes. The purpose of this study was to determine whether EMS use varied by race/ethnicity and ... -
Integral Eisenstein cocycles on $\mathbf{GL}_n$, I: Sczech’s cocycle and $p$-adic $L$-functions of totally real fields

Justification of radiological procedures in COVID-19 pandemic based on radiation risk only
(2020-12-02)Purpose. Radiologic procedures are recommended based on benefit-to-risk justification. In X-ray imaging, while the benefit is often immediate for the patient, the associated radiation burden risk is a longer-term effect. ... -
An In Vitro Bovine Cellular Model for Human Schlemm's Canal Endothelial Cells and Their Response to TGFβ Treatment.
(Translational vision science & technology, 2020-06-25)Purpose:Due to the limited availability of primary human Schlemm's canal (SC) endothelial cells, we aimed to develop an in vitro cellular model using the angular aqueous plexus (AAP) cells from bovine eyes. Methods:We harvested ... -
CFTR targeted therapies: recent advances in cystic fibrosis and possibilities in other diseases of the airways
(European Respiratory Review, 2020-06-30)<jats:p>Cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) is an ion transporter that regulates mucus hydration, viscosity and acidity of the airway epithelial surface. Genetic defects in <jats:italic>CFTR</jats:italic> ... -
High prevalence of geriatric syndromes in older adults.
(PloS one, 2020-01)INTRODUCTION:The geriatric syndromes of frailty, sarcopenia, weight loss, and dementia are highly prevalent in elderly individuals across all care continuums. Despite their deleterious impact on quality of life, disability, ... -

SARS-CoV-2 Infections Among Children in the Biospecimens from Respiratory Virus-Exposed Kids (BRAVE Kids) Study.
(Clinical infectious diseases : an official publication of the Infectious Diseases Society of America, 2020-11-03)BACKGROUND:Children with SARS-CoV-2 infection typically have mild symptoms that do not require medical attention, leaving a gap in our understanding of the spectrum of illnesses that the virus causes in children. METHODS:We ... -
Streamlined Subpopulation, Subtype, and Recombination Analysis of HIV-1 Half-Genome Sequences Generated by High-Throughput Sequencing.
(mSphere, 2020-10-14)High-throughput sequencing (HTS) has been widely used to characterize HIV-1 genome sequences. There are no algorithms currently that can directly determine genotype and quasispecies population using short HTS reads generated ... -
Recapitulation of HIV-1 Env-antibody coevolution in macaques leading to neutralization breadth.
(Science (New York, N.Y.), 2020-11-19)Neutralizing antibodies elicited by HIV-1 coevolve with viral envelope proteins (Env) in distinctive patterns, in some cases acquiring substantial breadth. We report that primary HIV-1 envelope proteins-when expressed by ... -
Global biogeography of scaly tree ferns (Cyatheaceae): Evidence for Gondwanan vicariance and limited transoceanic dispersal
(Journal of Biogeography, 2014-02-01)Aim: Scaly tree ferns, Cyatheaceae, are a well-supported group of mostly tree-forming ferns found throughout the tropics, the subtropics and the south-temperate zone. Fossil evidence shows that the lineage originated in ... -
Infraspecific diversification of the star cloak fern (Notholaena standleyi) in the deserts of the United States and Mexico.
(American journal of botany, 2020-04-07)PREMISE:Not all ferns grow in moist and shaded habitats. One well-known example is Notholaena standleyi, a species that thrives in deserts of the southwestern United States and Mexico. This species exhibits several "chemotypes" ... -
Patterns of diversification in the xeric-adapted fern genus myriopteris (Pteridaceae)
(Systematic Botany, 2014-01-01)Strong selective pressures imposed by drought-prone habitats have contributed to extensive morphological convergence among the 400 + species of cheilanthoid ferns (Pteridaceae). As a result, generic circumscriptions based ... -
Metaxya lanosa, a second species in the genus and fern family Metaxyaceae
(Systematic Botany, 2001-10-11)We describe and illustrate Metaxya lanosa, the second known species in the genus and the fern family Metaxyaceae (Pteridophyta). It is currently known from four different watersheds in Amazonian Peru and Venezuela. It can ... -
Horsetails and ferns are a monophyletic group and the closest living relatives to seed plants.
(Nature, 2001-02)Most of the 470-million-year history of plants on land belongs to bryophytes, pteridophytes and gymnosperms, which eventually yielded to the ecological dominance by angiosperms 90 Myr ago. Our knowledge of angiosperm phylogeny, ... -
