Innovation plays a central role in the sports sector. However, delivering innovative solutions is increasingly becoming network-level phenomenon, reinforcing need to understand dynamics. This research explores this phenomenon by building on two complementary theoretical foundations: interorganizational citizenship behavior (ICB) and social capital. The aims how different configurations of dimen...

Abstract The role of inflammation in colorectal cancer (CRC) development and response to therapy is highly debated. While a known driver CRC, inflammatory immune infiltrates are positive prognostic factor CRC as can enhance checkpoint blockade (ICB) therapy. Yet, the majority poorly infiltrated even presence an infiltrate half these cancers become refractory ICB. Therefore, there need identify ...

Purpose: Infraclavicular block (ICB) and interscalene (ISB) accompanied by ultrasonography imaging (USI) are the most frequently used brachial plexus techniques in upper extremity surgeries. It is already known that sympathetic blockage occurs after application of these blocks, blood flow increases with vasodilatation caused blockage. This study aimed to compare effect ICB ISB, which applied to...

PURPOSE To determine the effect of pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (PDTC), an antioxidant nuclear factor (NF)-kappaB inhibitor, on the ocular inflammation induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS). METHODS Endotoxin-induced uveitis (EIU) was produced by a footpad injection of 200 microg LPS in male Lewis rats. PDTC (200 mg/kg) was injected intraperitoneally 30 minutes before the LPS administration. The...

BACKGROUND Impulsive and compulsive behaviors (ICBs) are frequent in Parkinson's disease (PD), but data from population-based cohorts is lacking. OBJECTIVES To determine the frequency and associated demographic, clinical, neuropsychiatric and cognitive features of ICBs in a population-based PD cohort. METHODS This cross-sectional study included 125 patients with PD and 159 age- and gender-m...

The aim of the present study was to investigate the efficacy of luteolin on endotoxin-induced uveitis (EIU) in rats. EIU was induced in Lewis rats by subcutaneous injections of lipopolysaccharide (LPS). One hr before the LPS injection, 0.1, 1 or 10 mg/kg luteolin or 1 mg/kg prednisolone was intraperitoneally injected. We investigated its effect upon clinical scores, cellular infiltration and pr...

Background: Many epidemiological studies report that alcoholics overwhelmingly smoke tobacco and vice versa, which suggests a possible functional interaction between ethanol and nicotine. Although nicotine– ethanol interaction is well documented within the central nervous system, the mechanism is not well understood. Therefore, it is important from a public health standpoint to understand the m...

(2011), doi:10.1016/j.pepi.2011.07.001 We directly probed the phonon density of states (DOS) of hexagonal close-packed iron (e-Fe) with high statistical quality between pressures of 30 GPa and 151 GPa using nuclear resonant inelastic X-ray scattering and in situ synchrotron X-ray diffraction experiments at 300 K. From each measured phonon DOS, ...

Er-Xian decoction (EXD), a traditional Chinese medicine, has been reported to have a protective effect against bone loss in ovariectomized osteoporotic rats, and the inclusion of icariin (I), curculigoside (C), and berberine (B) in EXD displays inhibitory effects on osteoclastic bone resorption. In the present paper, we investigated the interaction and effects of I, C, B, and their combination ...
