Background: Even though tumours are considered to occur frequently in pet hamsters, there is only a small number of scientific reports current literature. Methods: Pathological from 177 hamsters were evaluated. Results: Of these, 78 male and 75 female. Median age affected was 12 months (range 2–34). Integumental the most common neoplasms (62%, 109/177). As far as species known, Syrian (52%, 30/...

Quercetin is a well-known antioxidant. Here, we investigated the effects of treatment with quercetin on mean arterial pressure (MAP), heart rate (HR) and baroreflex sensitivity (BRS) in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). SHR and their controls (WKY) were orally treated with quercetin (2, 10 or 25 mg/kg/day) or saline for seven days. On the 8th day, MAP and HR were recorded. BRS was tested u...

A highly enantioselective carboalkoxylation of alkynes catalyzed by cationic (DTBM-MeO-Biphep)gold(I) complexes is reported. Various optically active β-alkoxyindanone derivatives were obtained in good yields with high enantioselectivities. Furthermore, this methodology was extended to the enantioselective synthesis of 3-methoxycyclopentenones. The reaction is proposed to proceed through an enan...

We argue the importance both of developing simple sufficient conditions for the stability of general multiclass queueing networks and also of assessing such conditions under a range of assumptions on the weight of the traffic flowing between service stations. To achieve the former, we review a peak-rate stability condition and extend its range of application and for the latter, we introduce a g...

BACKGROUND Previously, we reported on the unexpected development of distant metastases in the subcutaneous rat pancreas CA20948 tumor model after 4.5 weeks of treatment with RAD001-only or in combination with [(177)Lu-DOTA(0),Tyr(3)]octreotate ((177)Lu-DOTATATE) (Cancer Res. 73:12-8, 2013). Moreover, the combination therapy was less effective compared to (177)Lu-DOTATATE-only. In the current st...

© SINPE-GASAPE ABSTRACT: Background: Abdominal catastrophe, suture leakage and wound dehiscence are serious complications of surgical procedures. Wound infection is a frequent complication and the mortality is high due to long and difficult treatment procedures. Treatment is often difficult as a result of fistula formation, presence of necrotic and infected tissue, and complex surgical manageme...
