Nitric oxide (nitrogen monoxide; NO) is a simple molecule with diverse biological functions. NO and related reactive nitrogen oxide species (RNOS) mediate intricate physiological and pathophysiological effects in the central nervous system. Depending on environmental conditions, NO and RNOS can initiate and mediate neuroprotection or neurotoxicity either exclusively or synergistically with othe...

We have examined the technologies required to enable Mars In-Situ Resource Utilization (ISRU) because our understanding of Mars resources has changed significantly in the last five years as a result of recent robotic missions to the red planet. Two major developments, (1) confirmation of the presence of near-surface water in the form of ice in very large amounts at high latitudes by the Phoenix...

OBJECTIVES To assess the diagnostic value for rheumatoid arthritis (RA), of an immunoblotting assay based on the rat oesophagus epithelium antigens recognised by the so-called 'antikeratin antibodies' ('AKA'), antigens that have been identified as three non-cytokeratin proteins (referred to as A, B and C proteins). METHODS After polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in non-denaturing conditions ...

Akabane (AKA) virus is an arthropod-borne virus belonging to the Simbu group of the genus Bunyavirus. Neutralizing monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) against AKA virus were prepared, and the neutralizing epitopes of the virus were defined by competitive binding assay. Five distinct antigenic domains were identified and were designated A, B, C, D, and E. Domains A and C consisted of two epitopes each....

Objective: To evaluate the effect of low tube voltage (100 kV) combined with adaptive statistical iterative reconstruction-V (ASIR-V) on visualization and image quality Adamkiewicz artery (AKA). Methods: One hundred patients were prospectively enrolled randomly assigned into two groups (both n = 50). Group A was reconstructed filtered back projection (FBP) ASIR-V from 10% to 100% intervals. B (...

Recently, Ahmadian and Salimi [1] presented and analyzed three different attacks that can be performed in UMTS-GSM interworking networks: (i) a real-time eavesdropping attack, (ii) an offline eavesdropping attack, and (iii) an impersonation attack. In this letter we question the feasibility of these attacks. In particular, we pinpoint and analyze that these attacks are based on some erroneous a...

Alcoholic ketoacidosis (AKA) is a syndrome characterized by metabolic acidosis with a large anion gap, malnutrition, and excessive alcohol intake in an alcoholic. AKA is commonly found in emergency units, especially in western countries, but it is seldom found in Indonesia, although the exact prevalence rate is still unknown. Acid base imbalance is different compared to metabolic acidosis with ...
