HEAT SHOCK PROTEIN 70 PREVENTS HYPEROXIA-INDUCED DISRUPTION OF LUNG ENDOTHELIAL BARRIER VIA CASPASE-DEPENDENT AND AIF-DEPENDENT PATHWAYS.

Heat Shock Protein 70 Prevents Hyperoxia-Induced Disruption of Lung Endothelial Barrier via Caspase-Dependent and AIF-Dependent Pathways.

Exposure of pulmonary artery endothelial cells (PAECs) to hyperoxia results in a compromise in endothelial monolayer integrity, an increase in caspase-3 activity, and nuclear translocation of apoptosis-inducing factor (AIF), a marker of caspase-independent apoptosis.In an endeavor to identify proteins involved in hyperoxic endothelial injury, we fo

Efficacy of ivermectin mass-drug administration to control scabies in asylum seekers in the Netherlands: A retrospective cohort study between January 2014 - March 2016.

Scabies is a skin infestation with the mite Sarcoptes scabiei causing itch and rash and is a major risk factor for bacterial skin infections and severe complications.Here, we evaluated the treatment outcome of 2866 asylum seekers who received (preventive) scabies treatment before and during a scabies intervention programme (SIP) in the main recepti

A Simultaneous Stochastic Frontier Model with Dependent Error Components and Dependent Composite Errors: An Application to Chinese Banking Industry

The paper develops a simultaneous equations stochastic frontier model (SFM) with T Shirt dependent random noise and inefficiency components of individual equations as well as allowing dependence across all equations of the model using copula functions.First, feasibility of our developed model was verified via two simulation studies.Then the model w
