In the title coordination polymer, [Nd(2)(C(10)H(8)O(4))(3)(H(2)O)(2)](n), each of the two Nd(III) ions is nine-coordinated by eight O atoms from six different 2,2'-(m-phenyl-ene)diacetate (pda) bivalent anions and by one O atom from a water mol-ecule, forming a distorted tricapped trigonal-prismatic coordination geometry. Eight Nd(III) ions and 12 pda ligands form a large [Nd(8)(pda)(12)] ring...

The controlled electrodeposition of functional polydopamine (PDA) thin films from aqueous dopamine solutions is demonstrated with a combination of electrochemistry, atomic force microscopy (AFM), and surface plasmon resonance (SPR) measurements. PDA micropatterns are then fabricated by electrodeposition on micrometer length scale gold electrodes and used for attaching amino-modified single-stra...

BACKGROUND A patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is frequently found in very preterm neonates and is associated with increased risk of morbidity and mortality. A shunt across a PDA can result in an unfavorable distribution of the cardiac output and may in turn result in poor renal perfusion. Urinary Neutrophil Gelatinase-associated Lipocalin (U-NGAL) is a marker of renal ischemia and may add to the ...

To compare the accuracy of transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) with that of transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) in the detection of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) in the adolescent and the adult, 40 patients with PDA and 50 patients with other congenital heart diseases were studied. All echocardiograms were recorded before cardiac catheterization and surgery. The echocardiographic diagnosis...

INTRODUCTION Transcatheter patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) closure is difficult in small patients in part due to the diverse PDA morphology. We describe a multicenter pediatric experience using the Amplatzer Vascular Plug II device (AVP II) to occlude PDA. METHODS All patients undergoing transcatheter closure of PDA with AVP II from April 2008 until May 2012 were included. Clinical, angiograph...

Principal differential analysis (PDA) is an alternative parameter estimation technique for differential equation models in which basis functions (e.g., B-splines) are fitted to dynamic data. Derivatives of the resulting empirical expressions are used to avoid solving differential equations when estimating parameters. Benefits and shortcomings of PDA were examined using a simple continuous stirr...

Human placenta-derived adherent cells (PDACs) are a culture-expanded, undifferentiated mesenchymal-like population derived from full-term placental tissue, with immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, angiogenic, and neuroprotective properties. PDA-001 (cenplacel-L), an intravenous formulation of PDAC cells, is in clinical development for the treatment of autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. We t...

in this paper a fast and novel stability-indicating ultra fast lc method for separation and estimation of impurities in clopidogrel and aspirin in their combined tablet dosage form and omeprazole was developed. the separation of usp related substances of clopidogrel (a, b and c), aspirin (d), omeprazole (a, b and c) and few other unknown impurities was detected by using ultra fast liquid chroma...
