trans-[Pt(C[triple bond]C(Ar)C[triple bond]CH)2(PMe3)2](Ar = C(6)Me(4)-3,4,5,6) (1) reacts with PPN[Au(acac)(2)](Hacac = acetylacetone; 1 : 1.16 molar ratio; PPN = (Ph3P)2N) to give PPN[(Au[Pt(PMe3)2]2)(mu-Ar(C[triple bond]C)2)3] (2) the crystal structure of which showed the anions as quasi equilateral triangles stacked parallel to each other through C-HAu interactions, resulting in channels of...

OBJECTIVE To assess longitudinal associations between dietary fat and incident age-related maculopathy (ARM) in an older, population-based, historical cohort. METHODS A total of 3654 persons, 49 years or older, participated in the Blue Mountains Eye Study (1992-1994); 2335 (75.1% of survivors) were reexamined after 5 years (1997-1999). Dietary data were collected from 2895 people (79%) at bas...

background & aim : a significant proportion of the women in reproductive ages suffer from problems such as menstrual irregularities. the aim of this study was to determine the association between menstrual cycle regularity and obesity-related anthropometric indices in students of kashan university of medical sciences in 2012. methods & materials : this cross-sectional descriptive study was cond...

OBJECTIVE To assess whether dietary intake of fat or fish is associated with age-related maculopathy (ARM) prevalence. DESIGN Cross-sectional, urban population-based study. PARTICIPANTS People (N = 3654) aged 49 years or older. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Subjects with ARM were identified from masked grading of retinal photographs. A 145-itemself-administered, semiquantitative food frequency qu...

A potentially useful trianionic ligand for the reduction of dinitrogen catalytically by molybdenum complexes is one in which one of the arms in a [(RNCH(2)CH(2))(3)N](3-) ligand is replaced by a 2-mesitylpyrrolyl-alpha-methyl arm, that is, [(RNCH(2)CH(2))(2)NCH(2)(2-MesitylPyrrolyl)](3-) (R = C(6)F(5), 3,5-Me(2)C(6)H(3), or 3,5-t-Bu(2)C(6)H(3)). Compounds have been prepared that contain the lig...

Organic light-emitting diode (OLED) microdisplays have attracted much attention as displays for small form factor augmented reality (AR) devices. To realize glass-like thin and wide field of view (FoV) AR devices, we designed a display module with high aspect ratio microdisplay optical component. For the microdisplay, developed color OLED 32:9 0.8-inch diagonal ∼2,490-ppi CMOS backplane. expres...

The androgen receptor (AR) is essential to the normal development of the male internal and external genitalia. Consequently, impairment of AR function can result in undermasculinized genitalia that vary from a completely female appearance to isolated hypospadias. Since in vitro studies demonstrate that AR function is reduced by expansion of the polyglutamine tract within the receptor [AR(Gln)(n...

OBJECTIVE Arousal (AR) from sleep is associated with an autonomic reflex activation raising blood pressure and heart rate (HR). Recent studies indicate that sleep deprivation may affect the autonomic system, contributing to high vascular risk. Since in sleep disorders a sleep fragmentation and a partial sleep deprivation occurs, it could be suggested that the cardiovascular effects observed at ...
