Early childhood intervention and habilitation services for children with disabilities operate on an interdisciplinary basis. It requires a common language between professionals, and a shared framework for intervention goals and intervention implementation. The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) and the version for children and youth (ICF-CY) may serve as th...

Multilocus analysis of phylogeography and population history is a powerful tool for understanding the origin, dispersal, and geographic structure of species over time and space. Using 36 genetic markers (29 newly developed anonymous nuclear loci, six introns and one from mitochondrial DNA, amounting to over 15 kb per individual), we studied population structure and demographic history of the re...

Intracameral injection of the normal rabbit eye with 10 50% tissue culture infectious doses of type 1 herpes simplex virus (HSV) caused uveal inflammation, biphasic elevation of intraocular pressure (IOP), and virus growth in the ocular tissues. A series of intramuscular injections of an immunosuppressive agent, cyclophosphamide (Cy), did not affect the ocular changes or the multiplication of v...

Pancreaticoduodenal (PD) allografts (Brown Norway-alloxan-diabetic rats, n = 190) were treated with cyclosporin A (Cy-A) 10 mg/kg/daily and compared with nondiabetics with Cy-A treatment (n = 55), diabetics (n = 50), and diabetics with Cy-A treatment (n = 45). Body weight, blood sugar, blood insulin, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), and creatinine were monitored periodically; there were marked elevat...

Regulatory T cells (T(REGs)) control the key aspects of tolerance and play a role in the lack of antitumor immune responses. Cyclophosphamide (CY) is a chemotherapeutic agent with a dose-dependent, bimodal effect on the immune system. Although a previous study demonstrated that CY reduces the number of T(REGs), the mechanism involved in this process has yet to be defined. In this report, it is ...

Zoopharmacognosy denotes a constellation of learned ingestive responses that promote healing and survival of infected or poisoned animals. A similar self-medication phenomenon was reported in diseased laboratory rodents. In particular, a series of studies revealed that autoimmune MRL/lpr mice readily consume solutions paired or laced with cyclophosphamide (CY), an immunosuppressive drug that pr...

Post-transplant Cyclophosphamide (PT-Cy) has proved efficacy as GVHD prophylaxis regimen after HSCT. However, experiences are limited with controversial results. We herein, assess the of PT-Cy compared to Methotrexate regimen. Eighty patients acute leukemia received a fully matched allogeneic HSCT or Haplo-identical were analyzed. Group I (Historical group) included 40 Methotrexate, Cyclosporin...

The reaction of CpPd(η (3) -C3H5) with the new diphosphinoborane ligand derivative (o-PCy2-C6H4)2BPh (Cy) DPB (Ph) affords the T-shape complex ( (Cy) DPB (Ph) )Pd(0) 9, which was characterized by X-ray analysis.

Spontaneous diabetes in the NOD mouse can be prevented by nicotinamide or by an infant formula diet in which the protein source is replaced with casein hydrolysate (Pregestimil) or soy protein (Prosobee). NOD mice maintained on the standard diet (chow and water) and given cyclophosphamide (Cy) at day 95 develop accelerated and synchronised diabetes within 14 days. Here, we compared the ability ...

alzheimer’s disease, the most common type of dementia and a progressive neurode-generative disease, occurs when the nerve cells in the brain die. although there are medications that can help delay the development of alzheimer’s disease, there is cur-rently no cure for this disease. exposure to ionizing and non-ionizing radiation may cause adverse health effects such as cancer. looking at the ot...
