Let φ(x1, . . . , xh, y) = u1x1 + · · · + uhxh + vy be a linear form with nonzero integer coefficients u1, . . . , uh, v. Let A = (A1, . . . , Ah) be an h-tuple of finite sets of integers and let B be an infinite set of integers. Define the representation function associated to the form φ and the sets A and B as follows: R (φ) A,B (n) = card ({(a1, . . . , ah, b) ∈ A1 × · · · × Ah × B : φ(a1, ....

AIM The purpose of this study was to determine whether AH 26 and AH Plus have in vitro oestrogenic effects. METHODOLOGY MCF-7 breast cancer cells were trypsinized and plated in 24-well plates at initial concentrations of 10,000 cells per well in 5% FBS in DME. Cells were allowed to attach for 24 h; then the seeding medium was replaced with 10% CDHuS-supplemented phenol red-free DME. Different...

BACKGROUND Chronic kidney disease (CKD) has been proven to be a major risk factor of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Until now, data on the prevalence of CKD among adults in Poland were limited. The NATPOL 2011 survey is a cross-sectional observational study designed to assess the prevalence and control of CVD risk factors in Poland, and the first study capable of evaluating CKD prevalence in adu...
