sh drought under the influence of vegetation respiration and physiological regulations. Although the mean WUE increases during flash drought over most of China, western China shows less resilience to flash drought with little changes in WUE during the recovery stage. This study highlights the impacts of flash drought on ecosystems and the…[Read more]

These results suggest that models of orthographic coding/word recognition may be well served by allowing inconsistent information (e.g., the “z” in both zjudge and zudge indicates that the presented prime is not JUDGE) to be given considerable weight during the orthographic coding/word recognition process.

4% and the reproducibility %CV was 3.8% compared with a repeatability %CV of 3.2% and reproducibility %CV of 5.7% without the Tono-Pen cover. CONCLUSION Measurement of IOP via pneumatonometry with a Tono-Pen cover in place, also known as the excursion test method, yields precise, accurate and reproducible results. This developed method of pressure…[Read more]

Excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) is a hallmark symptom of narcolepsy. The second major symptom, cataplexy, is present only in a subgroup of patients with narcolepsy. Fortunately, existing pharmacologic interventions are effective in reducing EDS for many patients, but elimination of EDS for most patients has not been achieved. Some interventions…[Read more]

Feasibility 50 participants were recruited, 24 were randomised to the intervention group and 26 to the control group. All completed 20 fractions of external beam pelvic radiotherapy. It was possible to perform 57/72 (79%) of proposed intervention tests with no disruption of oncological management.

All participants developed GI symptoms…[Read more]
