PMID: 24672130
Curr Ther Res Clin Exp. 2005 Jul;66(4):279-93. doi: 10.1016/j.curtheres.2005.08.013.

BACKGROUND: Reactive oxygen species (ROSS) play an important role in the pathogenesis of asthma, and oxidative stress contributes to the initiation and worsening of inflammatory respiratory disorders (eg, asthma). Thus, antioxidant drugs may have a role in reducing or...

Facile synthesis and photoluminescence characteristics of blue-emitting nitrogen-doped graphene quantum dots.

Nanotechnology

Gu J, Zhang X, Pang A, Yang J.
PMID: 26964866
Nanotechnology. 2016 Apr 22;27(16):165704. doi: 10.1088/0957-4484/27/16/165704. Epub 2016 Mar 11.

A one-step hydrothermal method for synthesizing nitrogen-doped graphene quantum dots (N-GQDs) from organic carbon sources is presented in this paper. The high-quality N-GQDs can be obtained via tuning the degree of dehydration/carbonization of citric acid and doping of nitrogen...

Laser waveform control of extreme ultraviolet high harmonics from solids.

Optics letters

You YS, Wu M, Yin Y, Chew A, Ren X, Gholam-Mirzaei S, Browne DA, Chini M, Chang Z, Schafer KJ, Gaarde MB, Ghimire S.
PMID: 28454168
Opt Lett. 2017 May 01;42(9):1816-1819. doi: 10.1364/OL.42.001816.

Solid-state high-harmonic sources offer the possibility of compact, high-repetition-rate attosecond light emitters. However, the time structure of high harmonics must be characterized at the sub-cycle level. We use strong two-cycle laser pulses to directly control the time-dependent nonlinear current...

Exercise-Associated Hyponatremia: 2017 Update.

Frontiers in medicine

Hew-Butler T, Loi V, Pani A, Rosner MH.
PMID: 28316971
Front Med (Lausanne). 2017 Mar 03;4:21. doi: 10.3389/fmed.2017.00021. eCollection 2017.

Exercise-associated hyponatremia (EAH) was initially described in the 1980s in endurance athletes, and work done since then has conclusively identified that overdrinking beyond thirst and non-osmotic arginine vasopressin release are the most common etiologic factors. In recent years, EAH...

Sources of electronic cigarette acquisition among adolescents in Connecticut.

Tobacco regulatory science

Kong G, Morean ME, Cavallo DA, Camenga DR, Krishnan-Sarin S.
PMID: 29082300
Tob Regul Sci. 2017 Jan;3(1):10-16. doi: 10.18001/TRS.3.1.2. Epub 2017 Jan 01.

OBJECTIVES: We examined sources of e-cigarette acquisition among youth, and changes in these sources, between 2014 and 2015. We also assessed whether youth were ever refused the sale of e-cigarettes.METHODS: Anonymous, cross-sectional surveys conducted in five high schools in...

Youth E-cigarette, Blunt, and Other Tobacco Use Profiles: Does SES Matter?.

Tobacco regulatory science

Simon P, Camenga DR, Kong G, Connell CM, Morean ME, Cavallo DA, Krishnan-Sarin S.
PMID: 29082301
Tob Regul Sci. 2017 Jan;3(1):115-127. doi: 10.18001/TRS.3.1.12. Epub 2017 Jan 01.

OBJECTIVE: We examined the associations between socioeconomic status (SES) and adolescent polytobacco use profiles (including e-cigarettes and blunts).METHODS: Adolescents (N = 1932) completed surveys conducted in 2014 in 3 Connecticut high schools. Within a Latent Class Analysis (LCA) framework,...

AIM: To examine the prevalence of dyslexia and Meares-Irlen syndrome (MIS) among female students and determine their level of visual stress in comparison with normal subjects.METHODS: A random sample of 450 female medical students of King Saud University Riyadh...

Design of a flexible organometallic tecton: host-guest chemistry with picric acid and self-assembly of platinum macrocycles.

Dalton transactions (Cambridge, England : 2003)

Jana A, Bhowmick S, Kaur S, Kashyap HK, Das N.
PMID: 28112300
Dalton Trans. 2017 Feb 14;46(6):1986-1995. doi: 10.1039/c6dt03498e.

The synthesis and characterization of a new pyrazine-based "flexible" and ditopic platinum(ii) organometallic molecule (3) is being reported. Flexibility in this molecule is due to the presence of ether functional groups that bridge the rigid core and periphery. Due...
