Abstract In response to growing demand for ecosystem‐level risk assessment in biodiversity conservation, and rapid proliferation of locally tailored protocols, the IUCN recently endorsed new Red List criteria as a global standard for ecosystem risk assessment. Four qualities were sought in the desig...

Nipah virus (NiV) is a highly pathogenic paramyxovirus that causes fatal encephalitis in humans. The initial outbreak of NiV infection occurred in Malaysia and Singapore in 1998-1999; relatively small, sporadic outbreaks among humans have occurred in Bangladesh since 2001. We characterized the compl...

We hypothesised that primary bronchial epithelial cells (PBECs) from subjects with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) respond differently to Pseudomonas aeruginosa lipopolysaccharide (LPS) after cigarette smoke extract (CSE) exposure than PBECs obtained from smokers without airflow obstruc...

Biodiversity loss is a major global challenge and minimizing extinction rates is the goal of several multilateral environmental agreements. Policy decisions require comprehensive, spatially explicit information on species' distributions and threats. We present an analysis of the conservation status ...

Objective The primary objective was to assess the performance of a new generation thin-strut sirolimus-eluting coronary stent with abluminal biodegradable polymer in an all comer population. The secondary objective was to detail differences in contemporary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) pr...

Although cigarette smoke extract (CSE) is widely used in respiratory research, the methods used in its preparation are diverse and there is no consensus as to whether cigarette smoke extract (CSE) induces a pro-inflammatory or an immunosuppressive response in epithelial cells.1 Although the adverse ...
