Does sexual selection influence minisatellite mutation rate?
There appears to be no clear relationship between minisatellite mutation rate and EPC rate in birds. The previously reported trend can be attributed to data transcription errors and unfortunate data selection. My analysis highlights the importance of total methodological transparency when conducting meta-analyses.
Posttreatment by recombinant human antithrombin was effective in treating acute lung injury after smoke inhalation and pneumonia in sheep. We hypothesize that the decrease in antithrombin activity during sepsis might induce severe airway obstruction and that supplementation with antithrombin inhibits this decrease.
