Fire is a widespread Earth system process with important carbon and climate feedbacks.
Multispectral remote sensing has enabled mapping of global spatiotemporal patterns of fire and …

Moyamoya disease is characterized by progressive stenosis or occlusion of the intracranial
portion of the internal carotid artery and their proximal branches, resulting in ischemic or …

Background and purpose: Stroke is a leading cause of death and acquired disability in
adults today. Inflammation plays an important role in the pathophysiology of stroke. The …

Objective: This study aims to evaluate protective effects of brief repetitive bilateral arm
ischemic preconditioning (BAIPC) on stroke recurrence in patients with symptomatic …

In this work, zein/carboxymethyl dextrin nanoparticles were successfully fabricated at
different zein to carboxymethyl dextrin (CMD) mass ratios. Zein/CMD nanoparticles with the …

Background Considerable evidence has been reported that tobacco use could cause
alterations in gut microbiota composition. The microbiota-gut–brain axis also in turn hinted at a …

Symptomatic intracranial arterial stenosis (SIAS) is very common in octo- and nonagenarians,
especially in the Chinese population, and is likely the most common cause of stroke …

Background: Remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) can inhibit recurrent ischemic events
effectively in patients with acute or chronic cerebral ischemia. However, it is still unclear …

Developing noble-metal-free electrocatalysts toward pH-universal hydrogen evolution
reaction (HER) with high-performance is highly desirable for the practical application of …

Forest ecosystems in the Sierra Nevada Mountains of California are greatly influenced by
wildfire as a natural disturbance, and increased fire severity and drought occurrence may alter …
