    The people of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania heralded in the year of 1911 and reflected on their accomplishments throughout the past year. With pealing bells, tooting whistles and noisy revolvers...in a more vigorous way than has been witnessed here for many years, this New Year’s Eve celebration recognized the past year as it welcomed the new year to come. The entire town took part and its faculties were utilized in the festivities of the night, including the Court House bell and those of the St. James and College Lutheran churches...engines added their quota of noise and all over town men brought into use guns and revolvers. The year of 1910 was a noteworthy year for the town and larger county. The citizens witnessed the erection of a large number of handsome homes, a sure sign of prosperity. Business firms developed and the county saw an outstanding apple crop and tourist season. In general, the year of 1910 was proudly characterized and recorded by Gettysburg’s constituents as a great place to call home

    ABSTRACT The objective of the present research was to examine the effects of feeding laying hens with sardine oil on the co-3 fatty acids levels of the egg yolk. Results of the study show that changes in the composition of the diet influenced the fatty acid composition of the yolk lipid. Diets with sardine oil from 2 to 8% significantly increased co-3 PUFAs content of the yolk. The increase of w-3 PUFAs was predominated by docosahexaenoic acid (DHA)followed by eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and a-linolenic acid (ALA). In term of egg weight basis, the increase of 0-3 PUFAs in egg due to sardine oil consumption. .was from 8.17mg/egg in diet without sardine oil to 102.27 mg/egg in diet with 2% sardine oil, and 232.63mg/egg in diet with 8% sardine oil. (0-6 PUFAs especially arachidonic acid tended to decrease with the increasing intake of sardine oil. Diets with sardine oil significantly (

    Anisotropic Fluid and Bianchi Type III Model in f(R) Gravity

    This paper is devoted to study the Bianchi type III model in the presence of anisotropic fluid in f(R) gravity. Exponential and power-law volumetric expansions are used to obtain exact solutions of the field equations. We discuss the physical behavior of the solutions and anisotropy behavior of the fluid, the expansion parameter and the model in future evolution of the universe.Comment: 18 pages, accepted for publication in Phys.

    The burden of lung cancer in Latin-America and challenges in the access to genomic profiling, immunotherapy and targeted treatments

    No full text
    Lung cancer is a public health problem worldwide and Latin America (LATAM) cannot escape this reality. This malignant disease has not only a high prevalence in the region, but is also the main cause of cancer related deaths, and in other emerging countries, the incidence rates are still on the rise. Interestingly in most LATAM countries, lung cancer mortality has been decreasing in men but not in women, reflecting smoking patterns in countries such as Chile, Bolivia, and Brazil. Despite the fact that these issues are well known to government agencies, physicians and patients in the region, current efforts still fall behind those needed in order to face this problem of epidemic proportions. Tobacco control and smoking cessation are the most important interventions against lung cancer, but even with their optimal implementation (which is far from reality at this time) the number of cases in the foreseeable future would still be significant. Beyond tobacco control, advances in our understanding of the molecular component of lung cancer have resulted in new targeted therapies and immune check point inhibitors, which have improved clinical outcomes but at a considerably higher financial cost. LATAM has not widely and speedily adopted these strategies, including new technology and approved novel drugs, due to a number of facts, and therefore only a dismal proportion of LATAḾs patient population have benefited from these new advances. A keen focus on a heterogeneous education system for caregivers in lung cancer treatment would likely help standardize care and improve future potential gains from domestic research. In this review we discuss the challenges of treatment implementation, focusing on new technologies
