Augmented Renal Clearance in Patients with Acute Ischemic Stroke: A Prospective Observational Study.

Background: Augmented renal clearance (ARC) is a phenomenon that has been demonstrated in many subsets of critically ill patients and is characterized by a creatinine clearance (CrCl) > 130 mL/min. Prior research has examined ARC prevalence in the presence of sepsis, traumatic brain injury, subarachnoid hemorrhage, and intracranial hemorrhage. However, to our knowledge, no studies have examined whether this phenomenon occurs in patients suffering from an acute ischemic stroke (AIS).

Identification of milling and baking quality QTL in multiple soft wheat mapping populations.

Two mapping approaches were use to identify and validate milling and baking quality QTL in soft wheat. Two LG were consistently found important for multiple traits and we recommend the use marker-assisted selection on specific markers reported here. Wheat-derived food products require a range of characteristics.

Enhancement of esophageal carcinogenesis in male F344 rats by dietary phenylhexyl isothiocyanate.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the potential effects of dietary 6-phenylhexyl isothiocyanate (PHITC) on N-nitrosomethylbenzylamine (NMBA)-induced esophageal carcinogenesis in rats. Groups of 15 male F344 rats received weekly s.c.
