The following factors must be considered when dye exclu sion assays are interpreted, (a) It may require several days for lethally damaged cells to lose their membrane integrity follow ing a cytotoxic insult, (b) During this time, the "surviving" cells may continue to proliferate, (c) Also during this time, some lethally damaged cells may undergo an early disintegration, so that they are not pre...

The circular economy (CE) has been frequently in the news recently, as it offers a regenerative system that substitutes end-of-life concept with restoration. Despite several benefits yielded by CE from triple-bottom-line perspective, India’s vehicle (ELV) recycling sector is striving against numerous impediments to implementing approach. Therefore, this paper attempts shine spotlight on ELV sec...

Greatly enhanced lethality for Syrian hamster cells (baby hamster kidney cells and polyomavirus-transformed derivative of baby hamster kidney cells) that had been treated with alkylating agents or ultraviolet light is produced by caffeine. Thus, nitrogen mustard [methylbis(/?-chloroethyl)amine] (HN2) at 0.5 /¿Mdecreased cell viability by only a few percent in the absence of caffeine. The addit...

Background. Although many patients with multivessel coronary artery disease (CAD) and severely depressed left ventricular (LV) function will benefit from coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG), surgeons may be reluctant to perform CABG on these patients without evidence of myocardial viability in regions of severe asynergy. We hypothesized that quantitative planar rest-redistribution 2`Tl ...

Since 1981, through structural adjustment programme, the agricultural sector has undergone several reforms which were expected to raise the incomes of smallholder farmers and hence increase their entitlement to food through the market. Data from the national household survey, however, show that most of smallholder farming remains subsistence. Only 10 percent of households sold their maize while...

E-Government development and diffusion have emerged as fundamental issues for both researchers and practitioners across the globe. Understanding electronic government maturity requires an investigation of its antecedents and an evaluation of facilitating factors that influence the progress of online government information, tools, and services from diffusion to eventual adoption. The purpose of ...

introduction: percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (ptca) is an effective method for revascularizing of stenotic coronary vessels. lack of response to this treatment, either in symptomatic or asymptomatic patients, is usually due to incomplete revascularization, restenosis, and/or irreversibility of myocardial perfusion. introduction of a noninvasive method with high predictive value ...
