This study investigates the alteration of serum cholinesterase levels in diabetics and its possible relationship to blood glucose, insulin, triglyceride, and cholesterol levels. Fourteen phasic insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus patients were compared with 10 insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, 10 noninsulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, and 10 normal controls. Each group was matched for age, ...

We have assessed the haemodynamic effects of moderate normovolaemic haemodilution in ASA I patients, either conscious or during enflurane-fentanyl anaesthesia (10 patients in each group). Cardiac index (CI), stroke index (SI) and ejection fraction (EF) were measured by transthoracic electrical bioimpedance and, in the anaesthesia group, arterial and central venous blood samples were obtained to...

INTRODUCTION Depression has been found to increase the risk of mortality in patients with coronary artery disease through a mechanism of changing cardiac autonomic tone which is reflected by alteration of heart rate variability indices. This study investigated whether such mechanism existed in firefighters who were at high risk of depression and sudden cardiac death. METHODS AND RESULTS In to...

Indices of thyroid function were measured in 97 preterm infants at birth and at 5, 10, and 15 days of age. Triiodothyronine uptake, free thyroxine index, thyroxine, free thyroxine, triiodothyronine, reverse triiodothyronine, and thyroxine binding globulin values at birth correlated with gestational age, whereas thyroid stimulating hormone values did not. Treatment with steroids prenatally had n...

the muteh gold deposit (ne of golpaygan) in the central part of intrusive-metamorphic belt of sanandaj-sirjan zone comprises nw-se trending gold-quartz vein occurred in metamorphic complex. gold mineralization is associated with quartz veins that formed during regional deformation across the mylonitic zones in metamorphic rocks of predominantly meta-volcanic, gneiss and schist. the sulfidation ...

to prospect mineral deposits at regional scale, recognition and classification of hydrothermal alteration zones using remote sensing data is a popular strategy. due to the large number of spectral bands, classification of the hyperspectral data may be negatively affected by the hughes phenomenon. a practical way to handle the hughes problem is preparing a lot of training samples until the size ...

Climatic variability and silicate weathering are remarkable features throughout the Late Cretaceous period. Campanian black shale is considered most significant source rock in southern Tethys. Here, we used mineralogical geochemical data to evaluate continental intensity climatic changes as well their impact on deposition of Western Desert Egypt. The studied has a relatively high concentration ...

Glen Torridon is a topographic trough located on the slope of Aeolis Mons, Gale crater, Mars. It corresponds to what was previously referred as “clay-bearing unit”, due relatively strong spectral signatures clay minerals (mainly ferric smectites) detected from orbit. Starting in January 2019, Curiosity rover explored for more than 700 sols (Martian days). The objectives this campaign included a...

Citrus juice is widely consumed due to its high nutritional values, desirable taste, and color. The color the key indicator for quality attributes affecting consumer’s attention. Conventional thermal treatment common method in processing which adversely affects value appearance. Measuring properties of an intelligent way control estimating alteration chemicals. In this study, effects different ...
