We applied common (pH, elemental analysis, thermogravimetry) and less-common (infrared spectroscopy, GACS adsorption test, pyrolysis-GC-MS, hydrogen pyrolysis) analytical procedures to a set of biochars from Costa Rica (bamboo stalk, cacao chaff, sawmill scrap, coconut husk and orchard prunings feedstocks).The biochars were produced by high tempera
BackgroundOlder Americans, a growing segment of the population, have an increasing need for surgical services, and they experience a disproportionate burden of postoperative complications compared to their younger counterparts.A preoperative comprehensive geriatric assessment (pCGA) is recommended to reduce risk and improve surgical care delivery f
The Janus kinase 2 (JAK2)-driven myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) are associated with Power Adapter clonal myelopoiesis, elevated risk of death due to thrombotic complications, and transformation to acute myeloid leukemia (AML).JAK2 inhibitors improve the quality of life for MPN patients, but these approved therapeutics do not readily reduce the
Woodland caribou populations are considered threatened in Alberta and have declined in the Canadian Rocky Mountain National Parks of Banff and Jasper despite protection from factors causing caribou populations to decline outside of parks.Recent research emphasizes the importance of the numeric response of wolves to moose in moose-caribou-wolf syste
We present a case of explosive Zaino vomiting associated with the extensive manipulation of the proximal colon during a difficult colonoscopy procedure.The cause of vomiting in this case may have been multifactorial; however, proximal colonic distention was the most likely factor because the onset of vomiting coincided with proximal colonic manipul
