This study is inspired by a desire to reveal those who have been "hidden from history" using whatever documents are available for the period. Relying heavily on wills, church archives, and fiscal documents, Gonthier has skilfully reconstructed the changing m...

advantages as an alternative dosage form (i) avoiding firstpass metabolism, (ii) easy discontinuation of administration, and (iii) reduced side effects; however, the stratum corneum, which is the outermost layer of skin, provides a primary barrier to transdermal drug delivery. Pentazocine (PTZ), a relatively short-acting narcotic-antagonist analgesic, is used clinically for the relief of cancer...

Vaccinations against infectious diseases are one of the major achievements in medicine in the last century and the most effective method for preventing infections. Concern about safety of vaccinations has been heightened by several reports of possible vaccine-induced autoimmune phenomena following various vaccinations. So far no study was able to show a casual connection between any vaccine and...

We present experimental results of spectral-domain optical coherence tomography systems using arrayed-waveguide gratings (AWG) for the 800-nm and 1300-nm spectral ranges. A phantom is imaged by using the 1300-nm AWG. Keywords-arrayed waveguide grating; optical coherence tomography; integrated optics

In Sweden like in most of Europe the medieval expansion was followed by decline during the fourteenth and fifteenth century. Even though other factors may have contributed to the decline, a major cause was the plague pandemic, the Black Death, which reached Sweden in 1350. The first struck was followed by several recurring outbreaks, leading to population drop as well as social unrest. Differen...

We present a detailed chemical abundance analysis of HE 1300+0157, a subgiant with [Fe/H] = −3.9. From a high-resolution, high-S/N Subaru/HDS spectrum we find the star to be enriched in C ([C/Fe]1D ∼ +1.4) and O ([O/Fe]1D ∼ +1.8). With the exception of these species, HE 1300+0157 exhibits an elemental abundance pattern similar to that found in many other very and extremely metal-poor stars. The...

In the article entitled, "Effects of Bariatric Surgery on Incidence of Obesity-Related Cancers: A Meta-Analysis" which was published in Medical Science Monitor 2015;21: 1350-1357, sections in the text have been directly copied from a previously published article, entitled, "The Effects of Bariatric Surgery on Colorectal Cancer Risk: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis", Sorena Afshar, Seamus B....

A 38-year-old man, without previous history of disease, was diagnosed with stage IIIB high-grade T-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. He initially received eight cycles of cyclophosphamide (1350 mg), doxorubicin (90 mg), vincristine (2 mg) and prednisone (100 mg/day for 5 days) ^ CHOP regimen ^ with good response. The patient was disease-free for 3 years, after which the disease relapsed and he was s...
