This study aimed to measure changes in socioeconomic inequalities in smoking and smoking cessation due to the 2006 smoking ban in Luxembourg. Data were derived from the PSELL3/EU-SILC (Panel Socio-Economique Liewen Zu Letzebuerg/European Union--Statistic on Income and Living Conditions) survey, which was a representative survey of the general population aged ≥16 years conducted in Luxembourg in...

Az elmúlt években a műanyagok gazdasági szerepe egyre jelentősebbé vált. Termelésük folyamatos növekedést mutat, különösen az FMCG-termékek piacán. A 2018-ban, Európai Unió tagországai által elfogadott stratégia célkitűzései kitérnek újrahasznosításra, javításra, felhasználásra és egyéb korlátozásokra. Ezen törekvéseknek ellentmondani látszik HORECA szektorban használt mennyisége, melyet – előí...

Piroskának, Szent László lányának, bizánci nevén Eirénének életéhez legfontosabb forrásaink a korszak udvari költői mellett synaxarionok. Moravcsik Gyula száz évvel ezelőtt megjelent tanulmányában már megállapította, hogy Piroskára vonatkozó synaxarionok szövegei egy hosszabb és rövidebb redakcióban maradtak fenn, azonban az akkor hozzáférhető kiadások kéziratok alapján csak redakció eredeti sz...

The effects of allopurinol, acyclovir and theophylline on the activity of adenosine deaminase (ADA) were studied in 50 mM sodium phosphate buffer pH 7.5 at 27°C, using a UV– Vis spectrophotometer. Adenosine deaminase is inhibited by these ligands, via different types of inhibition. Allopurinol, as a transition state analog of xanthine oxidase, and acyclovir competitively inhibit the catalytic a...

AIMS To study the expression of Ki-67 and cytokeratin 20 (CK20) in a group of hyperplastic polyps (including a group with "atypical" features) with the aim of determining whether upper crypt Ki-67 staining and lower crypt CK20 staining correlated with these atypical features, as assessed by light microscopy. METHODS Fifty seven formalin fixed, paraffin wax embedded hyperplastic colorectal pol...

implemented the Smoke-Free Illinois Act, prohibiting smoking in all public places and places of employment, including privately owned bars, restaurants and casinos.1 Many states and communities have enacted similar legislation in recent years, but the Illinois smoking ban was the first to include a smoking prohibition on the gambling floors of commercial casinos.2, 3 During debate leading up to...

Deltorphins I and II (Tyr-D-Ala-Phe-Asp-Val-Val-Gly NH2 and Tyr-D-Ala-Phe-Glu-Val-Val-Gly NH2) display a high degree of delta-opioid receptor selectivity. Since they lack the intervening Gly3 residue found between the Tyr and Phe aromatic moieties in pentapeptide enkephalins, deltorphins I and II resemble a previously described series of cyclic tetrapeptides based on Tyr-c[D-Cys-Phe-D-Pen] (JOM...

Background Exposure to cigarette smoke has numerous health risks for infants and children. Home smoking ban is a simple way to reduce the detrimental impacts of cigarette smoke. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of cigarette smoking bans in homes as well as associated factors in families with infants in Tehran, Iran. Materials and Methods This study was a population-based cross-secti...
