Chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) is a serious adverse effect of chemotherapy that limits patients' physical, mental, and functional capabilities and may cause a delay or cessation of treatment. Antiemetic therapy can reduce the incidence of CINV. Research, using data from visits by patients receiving moderately (MEC) or highly emetogenic chemotherapy (HEC), identified that antiem...

Abstract DKI Jakarta is the capital city of Indonesia well known as a with most rapid development and growth in country. This indicates that increase population Jakarta, need for considerable change land use cannot be denied. Environmental problems will get worse over time have resulted flooding which has been concern local government every year. A polder system stated to effective resolving fl...

Candidate biomarker proteins, including chaperonin 10 and pyruvate kinase, previously discovered and identified using mass-tagging reagents with multidimensional liquid chromatography and tandem mass spectrometry (DeSouza, L.; et al. J. Proteome Res. 2005, 4, 377-386) have been identified in serum-free media of cultured endometrial cancer (KLE and HEC-1-A) and cervical cancer (HeLa) cells. Thes...

Cellular fibronectin is deposited on tissue culture polystyrene during the adhesion and spreading of cultured human endothelial cells (HEC). Following the seeding of HEC upon this polymer, larger amounts of fibronectin are deposited as both cell density and incubation time increase. Our results indicate that the ability to deposit cellular fibronectin onto a polymeric surface is a condition for...

A new biomaterial is presented which consists of a cellulose derivative--silanised hydroxyethylcellulose (HEC-SIL) and biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP). Rheological properties of the polymer itself and its mixture with BCP are pH-dependent. At pH 10-12 HEC-SIL is liquid and undergoes quick gellation at pH < 9. Similarly, the paste of HEC-SIL and BCP is fluid and injectable at higher pH and soli...

In healthy humans and rodents, chronic and acute exercise improves subsequent insulin sensitivity of skeletal muscle. A large animal species with similar metabolic responses to exercise would permit longitudinal studies, including repeated biopsies of muscle and other tissues not possible in rodents, and enable study of interactions with insulin-resistant physiological states not feasible in hu...

As indicated by Becker and Watts (2001), teaching in economics and finance is still mostly done in a Chalk and Talk passive learning environment. This paper reports on an active, hands-on approach implemented for business students enrolled in an undergraduate course in options and futures at HEC Montréal. The proposed environment adapts and extends the studio approach first developed for Introd...
