Abstract Food neophobia, i.e., the aversion to novel foods, and olfaction are both factors read more strongly affecting food choices.Mounting evidence suggests a higher arousal towards food as a key factor underlying the reluctance to eat what is unfamiliar to us.As the role of olfaction behind this phenomenon is poorly understood, we explored the
Systematic scoping review of interventions to prevent and respond to child marriage across Africa: progress, gaps and priorities
Objectives Despite the high prevalence of child marriage in Africa, little is known about the current state of the evidence on interventions to prevent and respond to child marriage in the region.The objectives of this systematic scoping review are to describe the breadth of existing evidence on child marriage prevention and response interventions,
RNACompress: Grammar-based compression and informational complexity measurement of RNA secondary structure
Abstract Background With the rapid emergence of RNA databases and newly identified non-coding RNAs, an efficient compression algorithm for RNA sequence and structural information is needed for the storage and analysis of such data.Although several algorithms for compressing DNA sequences have been proposed, none of them are suitable for the compres
Protective ventilation with high versus low positive end-expiratory pressure during one-lung ventilation for thoracic surgery (PROTHOR): study protocol for a randomized controlled trial
Abstract Background Postoperative pulmonary complications (PPC) may result in longer duration of in-hospital stay and even mortality.Both thoracic surgery and intraoperative mechanical ventilation settings add considerably to the risk of PPC.It is unclear if one-lung ventilation (OLV) for thoracic surgery with a strategy of intraoperative high posi
