OBJECTIVE To test the hypothesis that ma huang induces a pressor response in the pulmonary vascular bed of the cat by activating alpha(1)-adrenergic receptors DESIGN Prospective vehicle-controlled study. SETTING Research laboratory at Texas Tech University School of Medicine, Lubbock, TX. SUBJECTS Intact chest preparation; adult mongrel cats. INTERVENTIONS The effects of phentolamine, a...

Diabetic ulcers complications are a leading cause of hospitalization and amputation. Ten to 15% of the 20 million individuals with diabetes are at risk of developing diabetic ulcers. Standard therapy involves the use of dressings to protect the wound bed from trauma and to absorb exsudate, offloading of high pressure on the wound bed e.g. by prescribing protective footwear, and wound bed prepar...

The influence of the preparation method of NiAl2O4 binders on their thermal stability was studied. For this purpose, the reactivity of two different NiAl2O4 binders with CO as fuel was studied in a fixed bed reactor device. Successive oxidation-reduction cycles were performed 25

The study of antioxidants in plants is one the modern scientific and practical problems. aim this work to obtain extracts pharmacy sale juniper berries seeds, their antioxidant properties by method competitive reactions. In work, a number extraction methods were used, investigation obtained was performed spectrometric chromatographic methods.

T he process of debridement is an important step in the preparation of the wound bed in chronic wounds. Ways in which wound debridement can be achieved include surgical, sharp, mechanical, enzymatic and autolytic debridement. Expert opinion and clinical experience suggest that removal of the material such as necrotic tissue and fibrinous slough from the surface of a wound is necessary for the p...

In this paper, we describe our approach taken in the MSM2013 IE Challenge, which was aimed at concept extraction from microposts. The goal of the approach was to combine several existing NER tools which use different classification methods and benefit from their combination. Several NER tools have been chosen and individually evaluated on the challenge training set. We observed that some of the...

Purpose: Alkyd resins constitute a very high proportion of conventional binders used in surface coatings. In order to enhance the quality of these alkyd resins methyl esters of rubber seed oil (MERSO) were used in the preparation of the resins. Methods: MERSO were obtained by in-situ alcoholysis of rubber seed. Alkyd resins having oil lengths of 45, 50 and 55% were prepared with MERSO, phthalic...
