BACKGROUND This study aims to analyze the structure and quantities of cellular elements in sarcoid granulomas. METHODS We investigated 34 transbronchial lung biopsy samples obtained from 34 sarcoid patients. The quantity and composition of the cellular elements inside a granuloma were determined by the quantitative stereometry method, employing the numerical density as a stereological method....

The stereometry of the working units mining machines is optimized at design stage, in terms selected criteria based on computer simulations process. recovered bodies cutting heads or drums used manufacturing are regenerated overhaul Ensuring that their dimensions comply with nominal ones labor-intensive and raises production costs. However, deviations these components from shape can make it dif...

We previously demonstrated that OVE transgenic diabetic mice are susceptible to chronic complications of diabetic nephropathy (DN) including substantial oxidative damage to the renal glomerular filtration barrier (GFB). Importantly, the damage was mitigated significantly by overexpression of the powerful antioxidant, metallothionein (MT) in podocytes. To test our hypothesis that GFB damage in O...

Traditional geometry concerns itself with planimetric and stereometric considerations, which are at the root of the division between plane and solid geometry. To raise the issue of the relation between these two areas brings with it a host of different problems that pertain to mathematical practice, epistemology, semantics, ontology, methodology, and logic. In addition, issues of psychology and...

Background: According to highlighted role of men in family planning, the use of reversible methods of contraception with no adverse effects on androgen-dependent metabolic reactions is very important. Therefore, in order to achieve a conductor combination in the designing contraceptive drugs, in the study, the effect of two drugs: Propylene glycol and Cyclo Hexyl on histological parameters of s...

Smart devices, application mobility, portability, service reliability and data interoperability raise much attention of the international cultural heritage community recently. Web 2.0 and social software turn users into prosumers which results in a great amount of multimedia content and metadata for the community on the one hand. On the other hand, it asks for new concepts to develop better mob...
