Methods Subjects were asthmatics previously using low(n=746), medium(n=781) or high-dose (n=728) inhaled corticosteroids ICS. Low-dose subjects were randomized to 26-wk treatment with MF/F 100/10μg, MF 100μg, F 10μg, or placebo; medium-dose subjects to 26-wk treatment with MF/F 200/10μg, MF 200μg, F 10μg, or placebo; high-dose subjects to 12-wk treatment with MF/F 400/10μg, MF/F 200/10μg, or MF...

Myelofibrosis (MF) can present as a primary disorder or evolve from polycythemia vera (PV) or essential thrombocythemia (ET) to post-PV MF or post-ET MF, respectively. MF is characterized by bone marrow fibrosis, splenomegaly, leukoerythroblastosis, extramedullary hematopoiesis, and a collection of debilitating symptoms. Until recently, the therapeutic options for patients with MF consisted of ...

   According to Iran’s folk medicine, camphor, a crystalline ketone obtained from essential oils of Cinnamomum camphora, has both sexual behavior attenuating and enhancing properties. This study examined the effects of camphor on sexual behavior in male rats. Twenty four sexually mature male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into 4 groups receiving daily i.p. injections of oliv...

BACKGROUND Coadministration of mometasone furoate (MF) and formoterol fumarate (F) produces additive effects for improving symptoms and lung function and reduces exacerbations in patients with asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The present study assessed the relative systemic exposure to MF and characterized the pharmacokinetics of MF and formoterol in patients with COPD. ...

Membrane technology is growing very fast and it is used in several main applications from desalination, water and wastewater treatment to medical, biotechnology and gas separation field. Different membrane processes are applied depending on the applications from more traditional pressure-driven membrane processes (Microfiltration, MF; Ultrafiltration, UF; Nanofiltration, NF) to more advanced on...

Iron (Fe) isotopes are now recognized as useful tracers of Fe sources and biogeochemical processes in natural environments but many uncertainties remain regarding the mechanisms that control their isotopic fractionation. Ultrafiltration techniques applied to separate species could potentially bias compositions. Here, we investigated frontal centrifugal ultrafiltration. We have set up time-ultra...

BACKGROUND Use of engineered nanoparticles (NPs) in consumer products is resulting in NPs in drinking water sources. Subsequent NP breakthrough into treated drinking water is a potential exposure route and human health threat. OBJECTIVES In this study we investigated the breakthrough of common NPs--silver (Ag), titanium dioxide (TiO2), and zinc oxide (ZnO)--into finished drinking water follow...
