INTRODUCTION Critically ill cirrhosis patients awaiting liver transplantation (LT) often receive prioritization for organ allocation. Identification of patients most likely to benefit is essential. The purpose of this study was to examine whether the Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score can predict 90-day mortality in critically ill recipients of LT and whether it can predict receip...

Rats immunized with a semipurified preparation of the Escherichia coli heat-stable (ST) enterotoxin conjugated with a protein carrier were protected against challenge with semipurified or purified ST and viable organisms of multiple heterologous serotypes that produce only ST (LT-/ST+), but they were not protected against heal-labile (LT) toxin or viable strains which produce LT either alone (L...

Immunosuppressive therapies are indicated following liver transplantation (LT) to prevent graft loss through rejection, and these same agents also may have a role in the management of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The aims of this study were to examine the effects of immunosuppression following LT on IBD activity and to identify markers of IBD control post-LT in patients with IBD who underw...

UNLABELLED Background. Thyroid hormones are the most important factors involved in the regulation of the basal metabolic condition, as well as in the oxidative metabolism. Hypothyroidism is associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity, which cannot be fully explained by the atherogenic lipid profile observed in these patients. AIM Study of serum lipids, tHcy, hs-CRP, MDA and PON-1 level...

Let {Lt ; (x, t) ∈ R1 ×R1 +} denote the local time of Brownian motion. Our main result is to show that for each fixed t ∫ (L t − Lt )3 dx− 12h ∫ (L t − Lt )Lt dx h2 L =⇒ √ 192 (∫ (Lt ) 3 dx )1/2 η as h → 0, where η is a normal random variable with mean zero and variance one that is independent of Lt . This generalizes our previous result for the second moment. We also explain why our approach w...

Escherichia coli heat-labile enterotoxin (LT) bound to rat glioma C6 cells that had incorporated ganglioside GMl but not to cells that had taken up gangliosides GM2, GD~, or G D ~ ~ . The same specificity also was observed with choleragen, the enterotoxin of Vihrio cholem. The tryptophanyl fluorescence spectra of LT and its B component differed from those of choleragen and its B component, resp...

BACKGROUND Liver transplantation (LT) increases the risk of de novo malignancies including skin cancers. However, risk factors for this type of cancers have not been well studied. OBJECTIVE To determine the incidence of skin cancer in LT recipients, and to identify the risk factors of this type of cancer. METHODS We identified all adult patients who underwent LT and developed de novo skin c...

Introduction: This study was conducted with aim of investigating the relationship between religious orientation and self-esteem of students. Methods: The present research was of a correlational study. The research population consisted of all students (boys and girls) studying at Islamic Azad University, Payam Noor and Applied Science universities in Darehshahr city in the academic year of 2013-...

To understand the meaning of the lactate threshold (LT) and to test the hypothesis that endurance training augments lactate kinetics [i.e., rates of appearance and disposal (Ra and Rd, respectively, mg·kg(-1)·min(-1)) and metabolic clearance rate (MCR, ml·kg(-1)·min(-1))], we studied six untrained (UT) and six trained (T) subjects during 60-min exercise bouts at power outputs (PO) eliciting the...
