It has beed showed that perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT) of human internal thoracic artery (ITA) releases adventitia/adipocyte-derived relaxing factor (ADRF). The precise mechanism of vasodilatatory effect of ADRF is still unknown. It was suggested that various potassium channels may be involved in the action of ADRF. The aim of this study was to assess the involvment of potassium channels in...

A retrospective study was conducted to determine the efifects of intrathecal analgesia on length of labor. There have been a number of investigations which show contradictory evidence as to the effect of epidural (EPI) analgesia on the progress of labor. Combined spinal-epidural (CSE) and intrathecal analgesia (ITA) techniques have been used to provide effective pain relief for parturients, but...

Abstract In the present work, we propose a green and sustainable strategy for eco-friendly surface modification of wool structure using biosynthesized kerationlytic proteases, from C4-ITA-EGY, Streptomyces harbinensis S11-ITA-EGY carpaticus S33-ITA-EGY, followed by subsequent environmentally sound functionalization bio-treated substrates ZnONPs, ZrO 2 NPs, ascorbic acid vanillin, individually, ...

The present paper describes the fractional derivative use in a pressure transient data analysis with phase redistribution for fractal reservoir in a geological environment which is not possible by conventional methods. The application of pressure derivatives in pressure transient test data interpretation by reservoir engineers is common place since the work done by Bourdet et al. in 1989 on thi...

The internal thoracic artery (ITA) is the preferred conduit for surgical coronary artery revascularization because of superior long-term patency rates and observational evidence of improved long-term outcomes. It is usually harvested with a pedicle of surrounding tissue, presumably not to disrupt its viability and blood supply. Resultant hypoperfusion of the sternum and an increased rate of ste...

Organization’s concerns as controlling costs, improving quality, increasing effectiveness, and managing risk increasingly impose strong requirements on Business-IT alignment (B-ITa). Several Maturity Models came into being for considering improvement actions in B-ITa. The IT-Enabled Collaborative Network organizations (ICoNOs) maturity model specifically addresses the processes needed for achie...
