Recently, we reported the conversion of bisphenol A (BPA) to 4-(2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)propan-2-yl)benzene-1,2-diol (hydroxy-BPA) by hyper lignin-degrading fungus Phanerochaete sordida YK-624 under non-ligninolytic condition. In the present study, the metabolism of hydroxy-BPA by P. sordida YK-624 was demonstrated under non-ligninolytic condition. Under these conditions, approximately 66% of hydrox...

The impact of the adoption of the new biosynthetic growth hormone (GH) WHO International Reference Preparation (IRP 88/624), and the recommendation to report results in microgram/L instead of mU/L, is described. Conversion factors were determined by comparing both the linear and nonlinear relations of the GH values. The Pharmacia polyclonal IRMA (p-IRMA) and the DELFIA monoclonal time-resolved ...

The recent incidence of cutaneous melanoma across different thicknesses in the United States is not well described. Our aim was to evaluate trends by tumor thickness and examine associations sex, race/ethnicity, socioeconomic status (SES) with thickness-specific incidence. We analyzed 187,487 patients a new diagnosis Surveillance, Epidemiology, End Results (SEER) Registry from 2010 2018. calcul...

A method for the degradation of dioxins by white rot fungi was developed. Degradation of a mixture of 10 kinds of tetra- to octachlorodibenzo-p-dioxins (polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins [PCDDs]) and tetra- to octachlorodibenzofurans (polychlorinated dibenzofurans [PCDFs]), which were chlorinated at 2-, 3-, 7-, and 8-positions of the molecules, by the white rot fungus Phanerochaete sordida YK-6...

We examine the adoption of patient care IT systems by US short-term acute care hospitals and the resulting impact these systems have in the productivity of hospitals. Of particular interest is the extent to which forprofit and non-profit hospitals obtain different results from the adoption of IT systems. We find that the marginal effect of IT on for-profit hospital productivity is to reduce the...

OBJECTIVES To identify the histopathological patterns of goiter in thyroidectomy specimens and their frequency in relation to age and gender of the patients. METHODOLOGY We present a retrospective data of 624 thyroidectomy specimens diagnosed over a period of six year (2007-2012) at the Department of Pathology, Holy Family Hospital, Rawalpindi, Pakistan. RESULTS A total of 624 consecutive t...
