Acid gas is a type of natural gas or any other gas mixture that contains significant quantities of hydrogen sulfide, carbon dioxide, sulfur oxides, nitrogen oxides, hydrogen halides, or similar acidic gases.Acid gases form acidic solutions when dissolved in water.A major cause of acid rain is emissions of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide, which re
Application of DNA-based diagnostics in detection of schistosomal DNA in early infection and after drug treatment
Abstract Background Research is now focused on identification of sensitive and specific diagnostic tests for early identification of schistosomal infection and evaluation of chemotherapy in field situations in China.Results This study compared loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) with conventional PCR as DNA-based diagnostic techniques for
Lessons learnt from recent citizen science initiatives to document floods in France, Argentina and New Zealand
New communication and digital image technologies have enabled the public to produce and share large quantities of flood observations.Valuable hydraulic data such as water levels, flow rates, inundated areas, etc., can be extracted from photos Knit Dresses and movies taken by citizens and help improve the analysis and modelling of flood hazard.We in
Occurrence and role of Tph cells in various renal diseases
Abstract A new population of peripheral helper T (Tph) cells has been identified and contributed to various autoimmune diseases.Tph cells can Jumpers Leads secrete interleukin-21 (IL-21), interferon (IFN) and C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 13 (CXCL13) to moderate renal disease.Moreover, Tph cells can congregate in huge numbers and immerse within infl
Factors associated with oxygenation improvement in children with ARDS
Background In pediatric patients, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) has a high mortality rate of approximately 25%.In surviving children, ARDS may result in sequelae, such as restrictive or obstructive lung dysfunction, muscle weakness and hypotrophy, as well as psychiatric, intelligence, and memory problems.Objective To identify prognosti
