OPTIMAL CHEST COMPRESSION POSITION FOR CARDIOPULMONARY RESUSCITATION DETERMINED BY COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY IMAGE: RETROSPECTIVE CROSS-SECTIONAL ANALYSIS

Optimal chest compression position for cardiopulmonary resuscitation determined by computed tomography image: retrospective cross-sectional analysis

Abstract The objective of this study was to determine the height of optimal hand position for chest compression during adult cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) from the tip of the sternal xiphoid process (TOX) along with the relative heights of the left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) and abdominal organs among the Thai population.The retrospecti

Immunodiagnosis of bovine trypanosomiasis in Anambra and Imo states, Nigeria, using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay: zoonotic implications to human health

Background & objectives: The prevalence of trypanosomiasis was studied in cattle, being a major source of animal urethral-inserts protein in Nigeria, thus, a very likely means of spread of Human African Trypano-somosis (HAT).Methods: Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to diagnose bovine trypanosomiasis in 264 samples collected from

Parasitic success and venom composition evolve upon specialization of parasitoid wasps to different host species

Female endoparasitoid wasps usually inject venom into hosts to suppress their immune response and ensure offspring development.However, the parasitoids ability to evolve towards Vest Top increased success on a given host simultaneously with the evolution of the composition of its venom has never been demonstrated.Here, we designed an experimental e
