Allergic rhinitis is a common cause of chronic cough. Topical corticosteroids are regarded as the most effective first-time treatment in allergic rhinitis. In this study we evaluated the cough sensitivity during the early and late allergic responses in guinea pigs with experimental allergic rhinitis. Another aim of the study was to follow up the effect of inhaled beclomethasone dipropionate on ...

Pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP) is an excitatory neuropeptide present in the rat brain stem. The extent of its localization within catecholaminergic groups and bulbospinal sympathoexcitatory neurons is not established. Using immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization, we determined the extent of any colocalization with catecholaminergic and/or bulbospinal projecti...

Neonatal rats were exposed to airborne manganese sulfate (MnSO4) (0, 0.05, 0.5, or 1.0 mg Mn/m 3 ) during gestation (d 0–19) and postnatal days (PNDs) 1–18. On PND 19, rats were killed, and we assessed biochemical end points indicative of oxidative stress in five brain regions: cerebellum, hippocampus, hypothalamus, olfactory bulb, and striatum. Glutamine synthetase (GS) and tyrosine hydroxylas...

The stability problem of functional equations originated from a question of Ulam 1 concerning the stability of group homomorphisms. Hyers 2 gave a first affirmative partial answer to the question of Ulam for Banach spaces. Hyers’ Theorem was generalized by Aoki 3 for additive mappings and by Th. M. Rassias 4 for linear mappings by considering an unbounded Cauchy difference. The paper of Th. M. ...

OBJECTIVE Data on dual energy absorptiometry (DXA)-measured bone mineral density (BMD) at the level of the total hip (TH) and femoral neck (FN) in patients with acromegaly (ACRO) are conflicting. Increase in bone size associated with ACRO may limit the reliability of DXA. Our objective is to evaluate trabecular and cortical volumetric BMD (vBMD) across the proximal femur in ACRO patients. DES...

this research established the scientific bases for the folkloric use of the neglected dialium guineense fruit coat in wound and microbial infection management in nigeria. the phytochemical analysis of the crude extract, fractions and sub-fractions was performed by standard methods. agar well diffusion protocol was adopted for the antimicrobial assay while the wound healing properties was determ...

— The paper consists of two parts. In the first part, we explain an excellent idea, due to mathematicians of the 19-th century, of naturally developing classical Galois theory of algebraic equations to an infinite dimensional Galois theory of nonlinear differential equations. We show with an instructive example how we can realize the idea of the 19-th century in a rigorous framework. In the sec...
