Introduction. Traditionally it is believed that the therapeutic effect of hexane extract Serenoa repens (HSRE) in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia realized due to its on prostate cells. However, literature there data about possible HSRE not only prostate, but also directly bladder. This paper summarizes and analyzes cellular mechanisms action bladder under development infravesical obs...

In the attempt to shed new light on the λ Boo phenomenon we analyzed the astrometric, photometric and spectroscopic characteristics of stars out of a list of recently selected λ Boo candidates. We show that the class is still ill-defined and discuss the possibility that some, if not most stars presently classified as λ Boo, are in fact binary pairs and that peculiar abundances may not correspon...

We consider the beam orientation optimization (BOO) problem for total marrow irradiation (TMI) treatment planning using intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT). Currently, IMRT is not widely used in TMI treatment delivery; furthermore, the effect of using non-coplanar beam orientations is not known. We propose and implement several variations of a single neighborhood search algorithm that ...

The paper argues that adopting a form of skepticism, Skeptical-Dogmatism, recommends disbelieving each philosophical position in many multi-proposition disputes- disputes where there are three or more contrary views-leads to higher ratio true false beliefs than the “average philosopher” (as indicated by survey data). Hence, Skeptical-Dogmatists have accurate average philosopher. As corollary, m...

The present study used functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) to measure 5- to 6-month-old infants' hemodynamic response in the prefrontal cortex (PFC) to visual stimuli differing in saliency and social value. Nineteen Japanese 5- to 6-month-old infants watched video clips of Peek-a-Boo (social signal) performed by an anime character (AC) or a human, and hand movements without social sig...

PURPOSE To prospectively compare the diagnostic accuracy of intravesical prostatic protrusion (IPP), detrusor wall thickness (DWT), prostate volume (PV) and serum prostate specific antigen (PSA) levels for detecting bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) and predicting acute urinary retention (AUR) secondary to benign prostatic obstruction. PATIENTS AND METHODS In all, 135 men who presented with lo...

The present study aims at characterizing the habitability conditions of exoplanets with an Earth-like magnetosphere inside habitable zone M stars and F like tau Boo, caused by direct deposition stellar wind on exoplanet surface if shielding is inefficient. In addition, radio emission generated a calculated for different space weather conditions. based set MHD simulations performed code PLUTO re...

Purpose. We evaluated the effect of sulforaphane (SFN) treatment on the function and changes of expression of Nrf2-ARE pathway in the bladder of rats with bladder outlet obstruction (BOO). Materials and Methods. A total of 18 male Sprague-Dawley rats at age of 8 weeks were divided into 3 groups (6 of each): the sham operated group, the BOO group, and the BOO+SFN group. We examined histological ...

In this paper we introduce an extension to the MK system of spectral classiÐcation that allows the precise classiÐcation of preÈmain-sequence (PMS) A-type stars, including most Herbig Ae stars. This classiÐcation scheme characterizes the star by a standard MK type, the presence and strength of emission and/or shell lines, and the strength of the Balmer decrement. It can be used to summarize tem...
