There has been a considerable drive to encourage a wide range of professional groups to incorporate alcohol screening (or identification) and brief advice (IBA) into their everyday practice. This article aims to examine the role of training in promoting IBA delivery in contexts outside primary care and other health settings. The data are drawn mainly from a structured online survey supplemented...

1. The whole-cell voltage-clamp technique was used to examine opioid regulation of Ba2+ currents (IBa) through voltage-sensitive Ca2+ channels in isolated magnocellular supraoptic neurones (MNCs). The effects of local application of mu-, delta- or kappa-opioid receptor selective agonists were examined on specific components of high voltage-activated (HVA) IBa, pharmacologically isolated by use ...

Plant tissue or cell culture keeps a significant role in micro-propagation in the plant production industry. Combination of 6-Benzylaminopurine (BAP) and other plant growth regulators like 1-Naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) or Indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) or indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) was used in the most of the research in tissue culture. The study was carried out to investigate the optimization of...

To assess the potential of individual bile acids (IBA) and their profiles as mechanistic biomarkers of liver injury for humans in real world situations, we interrogated samples collected under minimum controlled conditions (ie subjects were not fasted). Total bile acids (TBA) have been considered to be biomarkers of liver injury for decades, and more recently, monitoring of IBA has been propose...

In the present study, an efficient protocol has been developed for callus induction and production of RA in callus culture of Satureja khuzistanica for the first time. In-vitro callus induction was achieved from young shoot tip explants cultured on MS and B5 media supplemented with different concentrations of IBA (0.1, 1.0, 2.0 and 5.0 mgL(-1)) solely or in combination with cytokinins BAP and K...

Micropropagation of Kainth using nodal explants was carried out in tissue culture laboratory, Department of Fruit Science, Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana during 2011-13. The effect of various media {1/2 MS (M1), MS (M2) and WPM (M3)} and growth regulators (BAP, IBA and NAA) on establishment, proliferation and rooting was studied. Per cent necrotic culture was found to be influenced by...

BACKGROUND Heat-related illness is a primary threat to unit readiness, and individual body armor (IBA) cooling devices represent one potential solution. PURPOSE To quantify research findings of active and passive cooling devices designed to reduce physiological strain while wearing IBA during strenuous tasks using a systematic review approach. METHODS Literature searches were performed in m...

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of different IBA doses on rooting capacity of Cherry laurel (Prunus laurocerasus L.) types in greenhouse conditions under mist propagation unit in 2008 2009. This species has an economic and important value for medicinal and pharmaceutical industry. Determination of suitable conditions for cutting propagation of different types is too importan...

OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study is to investigate if any change exists in the values of tracheal bifurcation angles (subcarinal angle [SCA] and interbronchial angle [IBA]), right and left bronchial angles (RBA and LBA) in different pediatric age groups. METHODS Chest computed tomography (CT) images of children aged 18 years and younger were reviewed retrospectively by two radiologists wh...

To the Editor: We read with interest the article by Mruk and colleagues1 demonstrating the antithrombotic and antispastic effects of flavone-8-acetic acid (flavonoid) in an animal model of a deep arterial injury. The authors conclude that “Flavonoid markedly reduced platelet deposition, mural thrombi, and injury-induced vasoconstriction after deep arterial injury, suggesting that a major inhibi...
