20 The dichotic presentation of two sinusoids with a slight difference in frequency elicits subjective fluctuations called binaural beat (BB). BBs provide a classic example of binaural interaction, considered to result from neural interaction in the central auditory pathway that receives input from both ears. To explore the cortical representation of the fluctuation of BB, 25 we recorded magnet...

Grafting techniques represent an efficient tool to enhance plant growth and development. The study aims explore the effects of different grafting combinations on eggplants under diverse greenhouse conditions. Eggplant cultivar Black bell (Bb) was employed as scion, while hybrid F1 Beaufort (Be) Solanum torvum (To) were utilized rootstock. hypothesis behind this pertains incompatibility with F1....

INTRODUCTION Heart rate (HR) reduction is an integral part of antianginal therapy, but many patients do not reach the guideline-recommended target of less than 60 bpm despite high use of beta-blockers (BB). Failure to uptitrate BB doses may be partly to blame. To explore other options for lowering HR and improving angina control, CONTROL-2 was initiated to compare the efficacy and tolerability ...

Clinical tumor specimens and cultures of small cell lung cancer (SCLC) produce 10- to 100-fold higher quantities of the BB isoenzyme of creatine kinase (CK-BB) (EC 2.7.3.2) than did other types of lung cancer. Serum CK-BB levels were evaluated in 105 newly diagnosed, previously untreated patients with SCLC. All patients were thoroughly staged, including 42 patients with limited-stage and 63 pat...

One of the BB rat diabetes (diabetes mellitus (DM)) susceptibility genes is an Ian5 mutation resulting in premature apoptosis of naive T cells. Impaired differentiation of regulatory T cells has been suggested as one possible mechanism through which this mutation contributes to antipancreatic autoimmunity. Using Ian5 congenic inbred rats (wild-type (non-lyp BB) and mutated (BB)), we assessed th...

Previous studies have demonstrated that weanling rats fed AIN-93G semi-purified diets supplemented with 10% whole blueberry (BB) powder for two weeks beginning on postnatal day 21 (PND21) significantly increased bone formation at PND35. However, the minimal level of dietary BB needed to produce these effects is, as yet, unknown. The current study examined the effects of three different levels o...

Objective This study aimed to investigate the association between low plasma Platelet-derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB) levels and oestradiol in Postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMOP). Methods This prospective study measured plasma PDGF-BB and oestradiol levels in outpatients who were admitted to our hospital. Participants were screened and then allocated to three groups: normal young women, postm...

OBJECTIVE To measure the effects of Bobath-based (BB) therapy on depression, shoulder pain and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of patients during one year after stroke. DESIGN In a prospective, non-randomized design, the use of BB therapy was compared with a more task-oriented therapy and no BB therapy. SUBJECTS A total of 324 patients in 12 hospitals. METHODS Patients in the inter...

It is well known that type 1 diabetes is associated with a decrease in bone mass and delayed healing of fractures in human and in animal models of type 1 diabetes. Using well- and poorly compensated diabetic BB/O(ttawa) K(arlsburg) rats spontaneously developing insulin-dependent type 1 diabetes, it was recently shown that, in contrast to all other tissues studied, bone is most influenced by met...
