There were no considerable up to date on the trace element requirements of commercial poultry in recent years in despite of the progress in their performance traits. One of the more prevalent problems in modern broiler production system which could be attributed to the trace mineral inadequacy is skeletal disorders. Zinc, is an essential trace element which acts as a co-factor in several metalo...

background: salivary gland tumors (sgt) are rare lesions with uncertain histopathology. one of the major signaling pathways that participate in the development of several tumors is protein kinase a. in this pathway, glycogen synthase kinase β (gsk3β) and camp responsive element binding protein (creb3) are two genes which are supposed to be down regulated in most human tumors. the expression lev...

OBJECTIVES: To study the effect of supplementation with an association of small physiological amounts of antioxidant nutrients upon biochemical parameters and indicators of oxidative stress and antioxidant enzymes. DESIGN: The study included a double-blind placebo-controlled design. SUBJECTS: 575 elderly long term hospitalized subjects aged 65-103 years. INTERVENTION: Four groups were compared....

UNLABELLED QUESTIONS UNDER STUDY AND PRINCIPLES: Estimating glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in hospitalised patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) is important for drug prescription but it remains a difficult task. The purpose of this study was to investigate the reliability of selected algorithms based on serum creatinine, cystatin C and beta-trace protein to estimate GFR and the potentia...

This work presents a parametrized family of divergences, namely Alpha-Beta LogDeterminant (Log-Det) divergences, between positive definite unitized trace class operators on a Hilbert space. This is a generalization of the Alpha-Beta Log-Determinant divergences between symmetric, positive definite matrices to the infinite-dimensional setting. The family of Alpha-Beta Log-Det divergences is highl...

The mobility of 17 different proteins in CSF and serum on isoelectric focusing was investigated by subsequent immunofixation using monospecific antisera. Individual proteins yielded identical, often complex band patterns in normal CSF and serum, except transferrin which gave one to two additional bands between pH 5.8-6.4, and the low molecular wieght beta-trace protein and gamma-trace protein, ...
