Neural basis of corruption in power-holders

Corruption often involves bribery, when a briber suborns a power-holder to gain advantages usually at a cost of moral transgression.Despite its wide presence in human societies, the neurocomputational basis of bribery remains elusive.Here, using model-based fMRI, we investigated the neural ULTRA VOLUME TREATMENT substrates of how a power-holder dec

Fluid Optimisation in Emergency Laparotomy (FLO-ELA) Trial: study protocol for a multi-centre randomised trial of cardiac output-guided fluid therapy compared to usual care in patients undergoing major emergency gastrointestinal surgery

Abstract Introduction Postoperative morbidity and mortality in patients undergoing major emergency gastrointestinal surgery are a major burden on healthcare systems.Optimal management of perioperative intravenous fluids may reduce mortality rates and improve outcomes from surgery.Previous small trials of cardiac-output guided haemodynamic therapy a

Screening and selection of drought-tolerant rainfed lowland rice seedlings based on early seedling vigor under Polyethylene Glycol-Induced Stress

A field-based drought tolerance screening is time- consuming and labor-intensive.Polyethylene Glycol (PEG) offers a simple laboratory-based method to simulate drought stress efficiently.This study was conducted to identify and select the five most drought- tolerant genotypes based on vigor-related traits under PEG-induced drought stress.These genot
