Abstract The theory that the rapid depopulation of Indigenous people post-colonisation was largely caused by European introduced or exotic disease to which Indigenous people had no immunity resonates through most narratives of the early years of colonisation.The question of whether this narrative is based on sound medical evidence or is better plac

SHORTS Iatrogenic cardiac tamponade (ICT) is a dreadful complication of peri-hiatal surgery and vast majority occur during a hernia repair.Strikingly, against all warnings, the incidents and related deaths seem to be increasing.The aim of this review is to provide insight on how to prevent and challenge ICT.PubMed search identified 30 distinct ICTs

In dressage, the performance of transitions between gaits and halts is an integral part of riding sessions.The study aimed to evaluate rein tension before, during and after the transitions between different gaits and the transitions into halts.The kinematic (inertial measurement units) data for the head and croup, and rein tension data, were collec

We analyzed the polar membrane lipids of 13 strains of halo(alkali)philic euryarchaea from hypersaline lakes.Nine belong to the class Halobacteria, representing two functional groups: aerobic polysaccharide utilizers and sulfur-respiring anaerobes.The other four strains represent halo(alkali)philic methanogens from the class Methanomicrobia and a r

Thermal cycles and deformations during high-speed micro friction stir welding (μFSW) under different welding conditions were studied by experimental methods.The results show that the peak temperature and elevated-temperature exposure time (t150) increased with the increasing of rotational speed and decreased with the increasing of welding spee
