Social rank functions to facilitate coping responses to socially stressful situations and conditions.The evolution of social status appears to be inseparably connected to the evolution of stress.Stress, aggression, reward, and decision-making neurocircuitries overlap and interact to produce status-linked relationships, which are common among both m
Leiomyomas are rare benign tumours of the oesophagus that remain silent in more than 50% of the cases.Giant leiomyomas measuring more than 5 cm are very rare.A 47-year-old female presented with chest pain, cough and dysphagia for two months.Imaging studies were indicative of a 12.1x11.9 cm mass lesion in the distal oesophagus, CT guided biopsy conf
Abstract Background The burden of frailty on older people is identifiable by its adverse effect on mortality, morbidity and long term functional and health outcomes.In patients suffering from a traumatic injury there is increasing evidence that it is frailty rather than age that impacts greatest on these outcomes and that early identification can g
Bacterial effector proteins, delivered into host cells by specialized multiprotein secretion systems, are a key mediator of bacterial pathogenesis.Following delivery, they modulate a range of host cellular processes and functions.Strong selective pressures have resulted in bacterial effectors evolving unique structures that can mimic host protein b
An investigation has been made to predict the effects of forebody and afterbody shapes on the aerodynamic characteristics of several projectile bodies at supersonic speeds using analytical methods combined with semi-empirical design curves.The considered projectile bodies had a length-to-diameter ratio of 6.67 and Analgesic Balms included three var
