Background: Increased levels of the potent vasodilator calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) have been found in ipsilateral jugular vein blood during the active phase of cluster headache (CH) and this is hypothesized to cause distinctive vasodilation.The receptor activity-modifying protein 1 Propolis (RAMP1) is part of the CGRP receptor complex re
The purpose of this updated meta-analysis was to investigate the effect of nitric oxide synthase-3 (NOS3) G894T polymorphisms, air pollution and their interaction on ischemic heart disease (IHD) risk across populations worldwide.Recursive partition trees, nonlinear association curve fit and geographic information system maps were incorporated to ve
Urban expansion increases fragmentation of the landscape.In effect, fragmentation decreases connectivity, causes green space loss and impacts upon the ecology and function of green space.Restoration of the functionality of green space often requires restoring the ecological connectivity of this green space within the city matrix.However, identifyin
