SMALL CRICKETS OF NEW ZEALAND (ORTHOPTERA: GRYLLOIDEA: TRIGONIDIIDAE AND MOGOPLISTIDAE), WITH THE DESCRIPTION OF TWO NEW GENERA AND SPECIES

Small crickets of New Zealand (Orthoptera: Grylloidea: Trigonidiidae and Mogoplistidae), with the description of two new genera and species

Crickets (Order Orthoptera, Infraorder Gryllidea) are under-represented in New Zealand, with a total of eight species identified and formally described thus far.These include three endemic species in the family Trigonidiidae: the trig Trigonidium (Metioche) maoricum (Walker, 1869) and the ground crickets Bobilla nigrova (Swan, 1972) and B.bigelowi

The impact of anionic polymers on gene delivery: how composition and assembly help evading the toxicity-efficiency dilemma

Abstract SMOOTHING BALM TO STREIGHTEN AND PROTECT Cationic polymers have been widely studied for non-viral gene delivery due to their ability to bind genetic material and to interact with cellular membranes.However, their charged nature carries the risk of increased cytotoxicity and interaction with serum proteins, limiting their potential in vivo

Impact of Intraoperative Norepinephrine Support on Living Donor Liver Transplantation Outcomes: A Retrospective Cohort Study of 430 Children

Norepinephrine (NE) is often administered during the perioperative period of liver transplantation to address hemodynamic instability and to improve organ perfusion and oxygen supply.However, its role and safety profile have SUITCASE yet to be evaluated in pediatric living donor liver transplantation (LDLT).We hypothesized that intraoperative NE in

Electroacupuncture Attenuates Anxiety-Like Behaviors in a Rat Model of Post-traumatic Stress Disorder: The Role of the Ventromedial Prefrontal Cortex

Electroacupuncture (EA) is a promising clinical approach to treating posttraumatic VTRs stress disorder (PTSD), yet the mechanisms whereby EA can alleviate anxiety and other PTSD symptoms have yet to be clarified.In the present report, rats underwent EA for 14 consecutive days following modified single prolonged stress (MSPS) exposure.These animals
