Global environmental change has influenced lake surface temperatures, a key driver of ecosystem structure and function. Recent studies have suggested significant warming of water temperatures in individual lakes across many different regions around the world. However, the spatial and...

A set of four simple performance measures reflecting adherence to guidelines predicts hospitalization: a claims-based cohort study of patients with diabetes.

Patient preference and adherence

Huber CA, Brändle M, Rapold R, Reich O, Rosemann T.
PMID: 27042016
Patient Prefer Adherence. 2016 Mar 01;10:223-31. doi: 10.2147/PPA.S99895. eCollection 2016.

BACKGROUND: The link between guideline adherence and outcomes is a highly demanded issue in diabetes care. We aimed to assess the adherence to guidelines and its impact on hospitalization using a simple set of performance measures among patients with...

Modulational instability and complex dynamics of confined matter-wave solitons.

Physical review letters

Salasnich L, Parola A, Reatto L.
PMID: 14525228
Phys Rev Lett. 2003 Aug 22;91(8):080405. doi: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.91.080405. Epub 2003 Aug 22.

We study the formation of bright solitons in a Bose-Einstein condensate of 7Li atoms induced by a sudden change in the sign of the scattering length from positive to negative, as reported in a recent experiment [Nature (London) 417,...

Living with a partner and health care use - results from the MONICA survey Augsburg in Southern Germany.

Psycho-social medicine

Huber CA, Baumeister SE, Ladwig KH, Mielck A.
PMID: 19742289
Psychosoc Med. 2007 Dec 07;4:Doc13.

OBJECTIVE: Several studies have shown that social relationships are associated with health care use. This study aims to test if and to which extent a proximal element of social relationships, particularly living together with a partner, influences the health...

Acto-Myosin motorises the flow of auxin.

Plant signaling & behavior

Holweg CL.
PMID: 19704667
Plant Signal Behav. 2007 Jul;2(4):247-8. doi: 10.4161/psb.2.4.3864.

Auxin has always been a hormone of intensive investigation because of its crucial roles in plant growth. With the recent confirmation of PIN1 and AUX1 as proteins specifically controlling auxin distribution, the ongoing debate about possible mechanisms in polar...

Redox mechanisms in hepatic chronic wound healing and fibrogenesis.

Fibrogenesis & tissue repair

Novo E, Parola M.
PMID: 19014652
Fibrogenesis Tissue Repair. 2008 Oct 13;1(1):5. doi: 10.1186/1755-1536-1-5.

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated within cells or, more generally, in a tissue environment, may easily turn into a source of cell and tissue injury. Aerobic organisms have developed evolutionarily conserved mechanisms and strategies to carefully control the generation...

Enhancement of depletion forces by electrostatic depletant repulsion.

The Journal of chemical physics

Buzzaccaro S, Piazza R, Colombo J, Parola A.
PMID: 20370145
J Chem Phys. 2010 Mar 28;132(12):124902. doi: 10.1063/1.3366690.

A large variety of engaging phenomena stems from the occurrence of short-ranged attractive depletion forces. Yet, so far, most experimental studies have been interpreted on the basis of the simple Asakura-Oosawa model, where the depletion agent can be regarded...

Vertigo and tinnitus caused by vascular compression of the vestibulocochlear nerve, not intracanalicular vestibular schwannoma: review and case presentation.

Skull base : official journal of North American Skull Base Society ... [et al.]
