Besides cold-steel and laser instruments, the use of radiofrequency (RF) devices in transoral microsurgery is getting increasing popularity mainly due to its minimal thermal effect on the collateral soft tissue. Authors summarize their surgical technique, results, and experience gained with RF applied during laryngeal interventions at the Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery...

Objective(s): The objective of this study was to evaluate pharmacological effect of Calligonum polygonoides against Krait snake’s venom acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and to extent it for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. Materials and Methods: Acetylcholinesterase activity was measured using Ellman method with some modification. The kinetic studies of methanolic extract of C. polygonoides aga...

Though the association between pulmonary fibrosis and scleroderma has been recognized for over 60 years (Finlay, 1891), it is only within the last decade that cyst formation has been recognized as a possible part of the lung condition, following the detailed description by Getzowa (1945) of the morbid anatomy and histology of two fatal cases. Since then a considerable literature has arisen. Som...

A polymer-assisted solution-phase (PASP) synthesis of lead structure analogues ready for biological testing without the demand for chromatographic purification is described. Carboxylic acids are coupled to the Kenner or Ellman safety catch linker, respectively, activated by methylation or cyanomethylation and subsequently transferred to the 2'-amino group of the 2'-amino-2'-deoxyadenosine scaff...

OF THE DISSERTATION The Use of Arti cial Intelligence to Improve the Numerical Optimization of Complex Engineering Designs by Mark A. Schwabacher Dissertation Directors: Thomas Ellman and Andrew Gelsey Gradient-based numerical optimization of complex engineering designs promises to produce better designs rapidly. However, such methods generally assume that the objective function and constraint ...

"Rheumatoid disease" in its acute or chronic form with systemic or local manifestations may simulate many diseases in general medicine. Local manifestations may resemble many specific arthritides and bony and muscular lesions with secondary joint involvement (Ellman, 1947; Ellman and Ball, 1948), and two cases of a chondro-osseous dystrophy, which had been regarded as an arthritic manifestation...
