BACKGROUND: Studies that have evaluated the use of intravenous vitamin C in adults with sepsis who were receiving vasopressor therapy in the intensive care unit (ICU) have shown mixed results with respect to the risk of death and organ dysfunction. METHODS: In this randomized, placebo-controlled tri...

BACKGROUND: Penguins are flightless aquatic birds widely distributed in the Southern Hemisphere. The distinctive morphological and physiological features of penguins allow them to live an aquatic life, and some of them have successfully adapted to the hostile environments in Antarctica. To study the...

BACKGROUND: The prevalence of mental and physical comorbidities is unknown in South Asia, as estimates of mental ill health in patients with non-communicable diseases (NCDs) have predominantly come from studies based in the United States, Europe and Australasia. This systematic review and meta-analy...

BACKGROUND: There are limited data on the safety and efficacy of recruitment maneuvers (RMs) in acute lung injury (ALI) patients. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the frequency, timing, and risk factors for complications from RMs in adult ALI patients. METHODS: Secondary analysis of data from a randomized con...

BACKGROUND: Nipah virus causes respiratory and neurologic disease with case fatality rates up to 100% in individual outbreaks. End stage lesions have been described in the respiratory and nervous systems, vasculature and often lymphoid organs in fatal human cases; however, the initial target organs ...

BACKGROUND: Nipah virus (NiV) causes recurrent outbreaks of lethal respiratory and neurological disease in Southeast Asia. The World Health Organization considers the development of an effective vaccine against NiV a priority. METHODS: We produced two NiV vaccine candidates using the licensed VSV-EB...

Introduction: Immune correlates of protection afforded by PHV02, a recombinant vesicular stomatitis (rVSV) vector vaccine against Nipah virus (NiV) disease, were investigated in the African green monkey (AGM) model. Neutralizing antibody to NiV has been proposed as the principal mediator of protecti...

Two-dimensional (2-D) photonic crystals (PhCs) of square lattice have been investigated to find the complete photonic band gap. Band diagram calculations have been performed using the simulator PWE band solver of the software package optiFDTD, based on plane wave expansion method. Air holes in diele...
