By using the notions of exact truth (‘true and not false’) and exact falsity (‘false and not true’), one can give 16 distinct definitions of classical consequence. This paper studies the class of relations that results from these definitions in settings that are paracomplete, paraconsistent or both and that are governed by the (extended) Strong Kleene schema. Besides familiar logics such as Str...

Researchers on South Kyungsang Korean (SK) have been divided as to whether SK is a tone language or a pitch-accent language. While traditionally SK Korean has been viewed as a tone language (U Huh 1954, C-G Gim 1994, 1998, H-Y Lee 1994, 1997), there has been an alternative view that SK is a pitch-accent language (Ramsey 1974, 1975, JW Kim 1991, Kubozono 2007, DM Lee 2008). The split between the...

SK channels are upregulated in human patients and animal models of heart failure (HF). However, their activation mechanism and function in ventricular myocytes remain poorly understood. We aim to test the hypotheses that activation of SK channels in ventricular myocytes requires Ca(2+) release from sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) and that SK currents contribute to reducing triggered activity. SK2 c...

background: seborrheic keratoses (sk) are common, benign and often multiple skin tumors with disputed etiology. a follicular origin, late onset nevoid disturbance or local arrest in maturation of keratinocytes have been proposed. human papilloma virus (hpv) has been detected in a small number of cases, particularly those from the genital region. objectives: the aim of our study was to evaluate ...

The object of this investigation was to distinguish between two potential mechanisms of activation of human plasminogen (HPg) to plasmin (HPm) by catalytic levels of the activator complex, streptokinase.plasmin (SK* .HPm). One mechanism, which is widely supported, postulates an enzymatic role for SK*. HPm in the conversion of molar excesses of plasminogen to plasmin. A more recently described k...

AIMS To determine antistreptokinase antibody (anti-SK) titres in patients with the acute coronary syndrome from communities with endemic group A streptococcal infection because of the implications for streptokinase (SK) thrombolysis. METHODS Anti-SK titres were determined using a standard method in 47 consecutive SK naive patients, presenting to the Mt Isa Hospital emergency department, Austr...

introduction: oxidative stress and neuroinflammation are involved in neurodegeneration procedure in parkinson’s disease. recently, neuroprotective potential of boswellia resin has been demonstrated. therefore, this study examined whether administration of boswellia resin would attenuate mpp+- induced neuronal death in sk-n-sh- cell line, a human dopaminergic neurons- in vitro. methods: boswelli...

INTRODUCTION Loss of inhibitory output from Purkinje cells leads to hyperexcitability of the Deep Cerebellar Nuclei (DCN), which results in cerebellar ataxia. Also, inhibition of small-conductance calcium-activated potassium (SK) channel increases firing rate of DCN, which could cause cerebellar ataxia. Therefore, SK channel activators can be effective in reducing the symptoms of this disease, ...
