Background and the purpose of the study: The amount of elder people who suffer from Alzheimer disease is continuously increasing every year. Cholinesterase inhibitors have shown to be effective in alleviating the symptoms of the disease, thus opening a field of research for these treatments. Herbal products, owning a reputation as effective agents in many biological studies are now drawing atte...

The characteristic cutaneous rheumatoid nodule, described fully by Collins (1937) and Bennett, Zeller, and Bauer (1940), is composed of a central area of fibrinoid necrosis around which develops an encircling corona of closely packed mesenchymal cells, the great majority of which appear to be fibroblasts (Collins, 1937), and external to this is a zone of inflammatory tissue. Lesions with simila...

Court-ordered monitoring of blood cholinesterases (ChEs) from orchard workers in Washington State is underway. In 2008, the mean red blood cell acetylcholinesterase (AChE, EC 3.1.1.7) activity was 9.65 +/- 1.11 micromoles/min/ml (n = 1,793) and the mean serum (BChE, 3.1.1.6) activity was 5.19 +/- 0.90 micromoles/min/ml (n = 1,811). Determinations were made using the Ellman assay and automated e...

The association of "rheumatoid disease" (Ellman and Ball, 1948) and Addison's disease is exceedingly rare. Kendall (1951) believed that their co-existence was no more than a coincidence. Perera and Ragan (1950) and, more recently, Caughey and McCoy (1951) reported single cases of a combination of the two diseases. The last mentioned refer to the French literature (Dejean, 1947; de Gennes and ot...

The low molecular weight thiol (-SH) content of a human prostate carcinoma cell line (LNCap), important to the cellular resistance to drugs and irradiation, was investigated using three forms of thiol assay each utilizing different chemistries. The composition of the mixture was examined by derivatization of the thiols with a three-fold excess of the Ellman reagent to give mixed aromatic disulf...

Citizens awaiting jury service were asked a series of items, in Likert format, to determine their endorsement of various statements about principles to use in setting child support amounts. These twenty items were derived from extant child support systems, from past literature and from Ellman and Ellman's (2008) Theory of Child Support. The twenty items were found to coalesce into four factors ...

alzheimer is an age-dependent disease mostly with genetic origin. in this disorder, acetylcholine is decreased which results in deterioration of short-term memory. many researches have been focused on finding new sources of medications with more potency and less side effects and investigating acetylcholinesterase inhibitors (acheis) has been the center of many researches. in the present study, ...

The development of a peculiar form of pneumonitis in cases of acute rheumatism was described by Latham in 1845, but a century passed before the publication of the first reports of pulmonary involvement in rheumatoid arthritis. Since the papers of Ellman (1947) and Ellman and Ball (1948) there have been many other reports of lung changes associated with rheumatoid arthritis: in some the nature o...

In the presence of global constraints, backtracking search is unable to prune partial solutions. It there...
