background: we investigated the efficacy of a mobile-based  bolus advisor app in comparison with the usual multiple daily  injections (mdis) in diabetic patients. materials and methods: in a nonrandomized, controlled clinical trial, 62 diabetic patients  were selected to receive a 12-week intensive glycemic control by either a mobile-based bolus advisor (app) or mdi in the usual manner.we compa...

The paper is focused on the sorption of phosphorus from aqueous solutions by crystalline and amorphous blast furnace slags. Slag sorption kinetics were measured, adsorption tests were carried out and the effect of acidification on the sorption properties of slags was studied. The kinetic measurements confirmed that the sorption of phosphorus on crystalline as well as amorphous slags can be desc...

Currently, meat consumers are more conscious about the authentic products linked to their origin, which generates a growing demand for labeled sheep meat. In eastern Morocco, Beni-Guil (BG) is Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) product. This study aimed assess variation of intramuscular fat quality BG in its cradles (Cr). The chemical composition longissimus lumborum muscle was evaluated f...

Mononuclear cell suspensions were prepared from 40 normal peripheral blood and lymphoid tissue specimens and 42 neoplastic specimens obtained from patients with malignant lymphoma and lymphocytic leukemia. These suspensions were analyzed for la antigens, surface immunoglobulin (Slg), sheep erythrocyte (E) rosette formation and, in some instances, acid alpha-naphthyl acetate esterase (ANAE) acti...

The aim was to synthesize a toothpaste and analyze its effect on surface micro-hardness roughness of enamel. Basic paste prepared by using basic ingredients. Theobromine (0.2 wt%) laboratory synthesized fluoridated-bioactive glass (F-BG, 4 were added it. Post-demineralization, 36 enamel blocks divided into six groups that brushed with their respective toothpaste+artificial saliva (AS): group 1 ...

Motor thalamus (Mthal) is implicated in the control of movement because it is strategically located between motor areas of the cerebral cortex and motor-related subcortical structures, such as the cerebellum and basal ganglia (BG). The role of BG and cerebellum in motor control has been extensively studied but how Mthal processes inputs from these two networks is unclear. Specifically, there is...

The roles of the basal ganglia (BG) in motor control are much debated. Many influential hypotheses have grown from studies in which output signals of the BG were not blocked, but pathologically disturbed. A weakness of that approach is that the resulting behavioral impairments reflect degraded function of the BG per se mixed together with secondary dysfunctions of BG-recipient brain areas. To o...

BACKGROUND Synthetic bone graft substitutes such as bioactive glass (BG) material are developed in order to achieve successful bone regeneration. Zn plays an important role in the proper bone growth, development, and maintenance of healthy bones. AIMS This study aims to evaluate in vivo the performance therapy of zinc-doped bioactive glass (BG-Zn) and its applications in biomedicine. METHOD...

Let G be a discrete group and let BG denote its classifying space. Recall that a group is said to be perfect if it is equal to it’s own commutator subgroup. If G is an arbitrary group, then write BG for the Quillen “plus” construction applied to BG with respect to the unique maximal normal perfect subgroup ΠG of G [32]. The space BG can be obtained by attaching 2 and 3 cells to BG and has the d...

BACKGROUND Blood glucose (BG) monitoring systems enable diabetes patients to effectively control and adjust their therapy. BG monitoring systems with a Conformité Européenne (CE) label should meet the standard DIN EN ISO 15197:2003: > or =95% of the BG results shall fall within +/-15 mg/dL of the reference method at BG concentrations <75 mg/dL and within +/-20% at BG concentrations > or =75 mg/...
