Introduction: The incidence of neurological complications related to cardiovascular surgeries is comparatively very high and associated with high morbidity and mortality. The aim of this study is to establish not only the use of non-contrast computed tomography in detecting the cause of neurological problems but also to evaluate the various spectrums of findings associated with various types of...

The present study was undertaken to determine the possible alteration in hypolipidemic actions of garlic homogenate (GH) in presence of conventional antihypertensive drugs, propranolol (PRO), hydrochlorothiazide (HYD) and captopril (CAP). Albino rats fed with normal fat diet (NFD) or high fat diet (HFD) were treated with GH at three different doses (125, 250 and 500 mg/kg) orally for 30 days or...

ABSTRACT Liraglutide is an analog of human glucagon-like peptide-1 which play essential roles in regulation glycolipid metabolism. To investigate role lactic acid bacteria (LAB) lipid-lowering effect liraglutide, 40 mice were divided into normal food diet (NFD), high-fat (HFD), 10.0 mg/kg/d simvastatin-treated HFD (SIM + HFD), 200 and 400 µg/kg/d liraglutide-treated (LL HL HFD) groups for 5 wee...

The C-terminal V5 domain is one of the most variable domains in Protein Kinase C isoforms (PKCs). V5 confers isoform specificity on its parent enzyme through interactions with isoform-specific adaptor proteins and possibly through specific intra-molecular interactions with other PKC domains. The structural information about V5 domains in solution is sparse. The objective of this work was to det...

A 47-year-old woman presented with a 2-month history of progressive tightening of the skin on her legs. The tightening of her skin had begun 2 weeks after she was hospitalized for acute renal failure precipitated by therapy with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. She had no history of renal disease or medical conditions that would predispose her to the organ failure. During her hospitalizati...

Recent literature comprises a large number of papers on the query and retrieval of visual information based on its content. At the same time, a number of prototype systems have been implemented enabling searching through on-line image databases and still image retrieval. However, it has been often pointed out that meaningful/semantic information should be extracted from visual information in or...

Patients with idiopathic small fibre neuropathy (ISFN) have been shown to have significant intraepidermal nerve fibre loss and an increased prevalence of impaired glucose tolerance (IGT). It has been suggested that the dysglycemia of IGT and additional metabolic risk factors may contribute to small nerve fibre damage in these patients. Twenty-five patients with ISFN and 12 aged-matched control ...

Copyright: © 2017 INFORMS Abstract. In this paper, we extend the understanding of versioning strategy of an information goods monopolist and provide new insights on when versioning is optimal. To do so, we derive the optimal product line or versions of an information good and the corresponding prices. By relaxing common assumptions on consumers’ usage costs, versioning costs and capital researc...
