Geographic distribution and morphological variation in Mimon bennettii (Chiroptera, Phyllostomidae) Distribuição geográfica e variação morfológica em Mimon bennettii (Chiroptera, Phyllostomidae)

We studied discrete and quantitative data from 88 specimens of the subgenus Mimon previously identified as Mimon bennettii (Gray, 1838) and M.cozumelae Goldman, 1914 from diverse parts of their range.Our data indicate that specimens of Mimon bennetii in Brazil presented geographic variation in morphometrical characters and mosaic variation in quali

Use of temperature-controlled laminar airflow in the management of atopic asthma: clinical evidence and experience

Avoidance of allergens in the treatment of asthma has hitherto not achieved significant benefit despite the strong evidence that allergy both increases severity and contributes to exacerbations of asthma.House dust mite, cat and dog allergens are the most common perennial allergic triggers and most avoidance strategies have focused on reducing expo

Morphological characteristics and conditions of drainage basins contributing to the formation of debris flow fans: an examination of regions with different rock strength using decision tree analysis

Debris flows cause severe disasters that can result in human casualties and the collapse of houses.The establishment of early warning systems in basins with high debris flow risks is needed to reduce the negative impacts of debris flow disasters.Because debris flows often form debris flow fans near the mouths of valleys, debris flow fans are regard

Association between Serum Cystatin C and Diabetic Foot Ulceration in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes: A Cross-Sectional Study

Serum cystatin C (CysC) has been identified as a possible potential biomarker in a variety of diabetic complications, including diabetic peripheral neuropathy and peripheral artery disease.We aimed to examine the association between CysC and diabetic foot ulceration (DFU) in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D).411 patients with T2D were enrolled in
