After severe myocardial helo baby salve infarction (MI), heart failure results from ischemia, fibrosis, and remodeling.A promising therapy to enhance cardiac function and induce therapeutic angiogenesis via a paracrine mechanism in MI is myoblast sheet transplantation.We hypothesized that in a rat model of MI-induced chronic heart failure, this the

Abstract Background Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) H5N1 virus is entrenched in poultry in Asia and Africa and continues to infect humans zoonotically causing acute respiratory disease syndrome and death.There is evidence that the virus may sometimes spread beyond respiratory tract to cause disseminated infection.The primary target cell fo
Molecular phylogeny of the tribe Philodryadini Cope, 1886 (Dipsadidae: Xenodontinae): Rediscovering the diversity of the South American Racers
Abstract South American racers of the tribe Philodryadini are a widespread and diverse group of Neotropical snakes with a complex taxonomic and systematic history.Recent studies failed to present a robust phylogenetic hypothesis for the tribe, mainly due to incomplete taxon zak maytum sampling.Here we provide the most extensive molecular phylogenet
Coronavirus-19 and malaria: The great mimics
The use of SARS-CoV-2 rapid diagnostic test (RDT) kits by some African countries for screening has raised serious concerns over their role in malaria areas.Coupled with a lack of adequate personal usc trojans snapback hat protective equipment and the scarcity of knowledge on the possible interaction between malaria and COVID-19 both in terms of pre
Ali Kosh Lady and Her Artificially Modified Head: An Appraisal
We had the opportunity to examine the cranium of a young woman found at the well-known Neolithic site of Ali Koshon the Deh Luran plain in southwestern Iran.It has previously been zak maytum claimed that her head shows traces of modification,a practice which can be termed as either cultural or artificial cranial modification.Here, we describe sever
