Physicians' perceptions of elderly alcohol abuse
(1998)Alcohol abuse Is often hidden and unrecognized problem among seniors. Although the degree of the aged affected by alcohol abuse may not be extremely high, alcohol consumption appears to be particularly toxic In the elderly, ... -
Physico-chemical properties of soils associated with logged forest and areas converted to teak (Tectana grandis Linn. F)
(1997)This rapid and extensive introduction of teak to satisfy a predicted wood shortage in Ghana has given rise to the question of the short/long-term effects that management of teak plantations might have on soil properties. ... -
Physiological adaptations contributing to stress survival in the foodborne pathogen Campylobacter jejuni
(2015-06-15)n spite of being considered fragile and fastidious, the zoonotic pathogen Campylobacter jejuni remains the leading cause of foodborne bacterial gastroenteritis in the developed world. Lacking many of the stress responses ... -
Physiological and biomechanical profile of the athletes competing in a world cup cross country ski relay event
(1997)A variety of studies have been conducted which have attempted to relate biomechanical and physiological variables to cross-country skiing performance. These investigations have taken place in different settings including ... -
Physiological and growth responses of eleven Ontario provenances of one-year old Picea glauca seedlings to elevated CO2 concentrations
(2005)To study the physiological and growth responses of eleven Ontario provenances of white spruce [Picea glauca (Moench) Voss] to elevated atmospheric CO2 concentrations, one-year old seedlings were grown in three greenhouses ... -
Physiological and morphological responses of mountain maple (acer spicatum l.) seedlings to light under different carbon dioxide concentrations, soil temperature and soil moisture regimes
(2013-02-01)Determining the response of mountain maple (Acer spicatum L.) to increases in light is confounded by interaction with other environmental factors. Rising atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations ([CO2]) and the accompanying ... -
Physiological outcomes of interleukin-6 in high fat diet and voluntary physical activity
(2014)Insulin resistance is the principle step towards the progression of type 2 diabetes, and has been linked to increased circulating levels of cytokines, leading to chronic low-grade inflammation. Specifically, in chronic ... -
