BACKGROUND A combination of radio-frequency (RF) and ultrasound cavitation (UC) has been reported to reduce indices of obesity. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effect of a combination of these techniques on anthropometric indices, pro-oxidant-antioxidant balance (PAB), and serum high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP). MATERIALS AND METHODS This randomized clinical trial was p...

p53 protein conformation is an important determinant of its localization and activity. Changes in p53 conformation can be monitored by reactivity with wild-type conformation-specific (pAb-1620) or mutant conformation-specific (pAb-240) p53 antibodies. Wild-type p53 accumulated in a mutant (pAb-240 reactive) form when its proteasome-dependent degradation was blocked during recovery from stress t...

Pleomorphic adenoma of the breast (PAB) is an extremely rare tumor in the breast. Herein, we reported two Asian female patients diagnosed as PAB and reviewed the relevant literature briefly. The two cases were both diagnosed as fibroadenoma in breast ultrasonography before surgery. Case one is a 28-year-old woman presented with a seven year history of a slowly-growing painless mass in left brea...

UNLABELLED The treatment of cancer in children has several side effects, including ototoxicity. Inner ear structures may be affected and hearing loss may ensue. AIM To estimate the prevalence of hearing loss in patients with cancer using the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA), the Pediatric Oncology Group Toxicity (POGT), and the Bilateral Hearing Loss (PAB) criteria. STUDY...

Mevcut çalışma ile 2015-2020 yılları arasında Türkiye’de matematik eğitimi alanında pedagojik alan bilgisini (PAB) konu edinen lisansüstü tezlerinin analiz edilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Araştırma kapsamında, Yükseköğretim Kurulu (YÖK) ulusal tez merkezinde erişime açık 80 tez, doküman yöntemiyle incelenmiştir. Erişime tezlerin temel amaçları, yöntemleri, örneklem büyüklükleri/ katılımcı sayıları, tür...

Mutations in the p53 tumor suppressor gene are the most common genetic alterations in human cancers. These mutations usually lead to strongly enhanced protein stabilization and allow detection by immunohistochemistry. Two monoclonal (DO-7 and PAb-240) and two polyclonal (Ab-7 and CM-1) antibodies were evaluated by standard immunoperoxidase method in domestic animal tumors, chiefly squamous cell...

AIMS An association between inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and spondyloarthropathies (SpA) has repeatedly been reported. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether serologic markers of IBD, e.g. antibodies against Saccharomyces cerevisiae (ASCA), antibodies against exocrine pancreas (PAB) and perinuclear antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (pANCA) are present in HLA-B27-associa...

OBJECTIVES We report on the Doppler-assessed regulation of an adjustable pulmonary artery band (PAB) in an animal model and in our first group of patients. BACKGROUND Indications for pulmonary artery banding have expanded to include patients requiring a late arterial switch. A telemetry-operated, fully implantable, adjustable PAB system (FloWatch- PAB, Endoart SA, Lausanne, Switzerland) has b...

To test the hypothesis that coronary flow and coronary flow reserve are developmentally regulated, we used fluorescent microspheres to investigate the effects of acute (6 hr) pulmonary artery banding on baseline and adenosine enhanced right (RV) and left ventricle (LV) blood flow in two groups of twin ovine fetuses (100 and 128 d gestation, term 145 d; n = 6 for each group). Within each group, ...
