Abstract Background and Aims In patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), there is an overproduction accumulation of advanced glycation end-products (AGEs). Since AGEs may have detrimental effects on muscular trophism performance, we evaluated whether they contribute to the onset sarcopenia in CKD patients. Method We enrolled 117 The were quantified by fluorescence intensity using a spectroph...

man has four kinds of relation: 1.with god. 2.with himself. 3.with other people. 4.with objects. man's relation with himself comes next with god in importance; being very delicat, this relation is often hidden from man's notice,hence he is unaware of the damages he receives owing to his improper relation with himself.the quran is the first heavenly book which considers this relation f...

Information on the life history and demographics of oceanic manta rays Mobula birostris remains scarce. Using photo-ID data, we describe demographic structure, population size, possible environmental drivers seasonal occurrence M. at Isla de la Plata Bajo Copé, Ecuador. We identified a total 2803 individuals from 3322 encounters over period 14 yr (2005-2018). The sampled these sites was signifi...

The aim of this paper is to study local configurations issued from discrete rotations. The algorithm of discrete rotations that we consider is the discretized rotation. It simply consists in the composition of a Euclidean rotation with a rounding operation, as studied in [B. Nouvel, E. Rémila, On colorations induced by discrete rotations, in: DGCI, in: LNCS, vol. 2886, 2003, pp. 174–183; B. Nou...

Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is a major complication of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Migration of donor-derived T cells into GVHD target organs plays a critical role in the development of GVHD and chemokines and their receptors are important molecules involved in this process. Here, we demonstrate in murine bone marrow transplantation models that the expression...

This study explores risk factors for suicide attempts using the electronic health records of 3322 patients with either schizophrenia spectrum disorders or affective disorders who underwent a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation at the Emergency Department at the Long Island Jewish Medical Center or the Hillside Evaluation Center at The Zucker Hillside Hospital from August 3rd 2011 to July 5th 2...

BACKGROUND Benzalkonium chloride (BAC) is a well-recognized irritant. However, doubts exist that it is also a contact allergen. OBJECTIVE Analysis of clinical patch test data addressing the reaction profile and synchronous reproducibility of BAC 0.1% in petrolatum (pet.) and possible increases in risk of BAC contact allergy in certain (occupationally exposed) subgroups. PATIENTS /METHODS: Dat...

Abstract To thrive in harsh environments, tardigrades have evolved the ability to enter quiescent state of cryptobiosis, often characterized by transition into a so-called ‘tun’. Here, we investigate osmobiosis, substate cryptobiosis induced rising osmolyte concentrations. We follow behaviour and morphology Ramazzottius varieornatus during transfer from freshwater conditions 3 Osmol/kg sucrose ...

Anaesthesia is one of the few sub-specialties of medicine, which has quickly adapted technology to improve patient safety. This application of technology can be seen in patient monitoring, advances in anaesthesia machines, intubating devices, ultrasound for visualisation of nerves and vessels, etc., Anaesthesia machines have come a long way in the last 100 years, the improvements being driven b...
