daily, organophosphorus compounds (ops) in human life, has found wide applications. although ops have biodegradability potential, they induce clinical problems in humans and other organism. different methods are used to detoxify these compounds. in the meantime, biodegradation is preferred as a compatible way to the environment since it produces less toxic compounds. enzymes capable to degrade ...

Net4voice è un progetto attraverso il quale si vogliono sperimentare nuove modalità di apprendimento che possano agevolare la diffusione dei patrimoni informativi, rendendoli universalmente accessibili. Le tecnologie di riconoscimento vocale sono rivolte innanzitutto agli studenti diversamente abili, in particolare a coloro che hanno difficoltà a prendere appunti oppure che hanno problemi di ud...

Orthogonal polarization spectral (OPS) imaging is a new clinical technique for observation of the microcirculation of organ surfaces. For validation purposes, we compared OPS images of the nailfold skin with those obtained from conventional capillary microscopy at rest and during venous occlusion in 10 male volunteers. These images were computer analyzed to provide red blood cell velocity and c...

Background: Suicide may be conceptualized as an escape from intolerable predicaments, in particular, mental illness and environmental stressors. The operationalized predicaments of suicide (OPS) is a 4 category framework designed to assist in the classification of suicide. The objective was to examine whether this framework is potentially useful. Method: 18 psychiatrists from 6 different countr...

OPs in the dark-adapted eye is similar to the scotopic luminosity function. In addition, his results show some of the features of the present study—particularly the large variation in the latency of rod-generated responses as a function of flash intensity and some of the changes in waveform of responses to orange flashes as intensity is reduced. The spectral sensitivity measurements of Wachtmei...

Oligodendrocyte progenitors (OPs) arise from distinct ventral and dorsal domains within the ventricular germinal zones of the embryonic CNS. The functional significance, if any, of these different populations is not known. Using dual-color reporter mice to distinguish ventrally and dorsally derived OPs, we show that, in response to focal demyelination of the young adult spinal cord or corpus ca...

BACKGROUND Melioidosis is a severe disease caused by Burkholderia pseudomallei. Clinical manifestations are diverse and acute infections require immediate treatment with effective antibiotics. While culture is the current diagnostic standard, it is time-consuming and has low sensitivity. In endemic areas, inaccessibility to biosafety level 3 facilities and a lack of good serodiagnostic tools ca...

Myanmar has a high proportion of out-of-pocket (OOP) health care expenditures with limited cost-sharing mechanisms. In Myanmar, there were limited data on the frequency of catastrophic health expenditure (CHE) due to OOP payments, as well as on the factors associated with CHE. This study aimed to investigate health care expenditure, the frequency of CHE, and the factors influencing CHE among ho...

BACKGROUND Catastrophic health expenditure (CHE) puts a heavy disease burden on patients' families, aggravating income-related inequality. In an attempt to reduce the financial risks of rural families incurring CHE, China began the New Rural Cooperative Medical System (NCMS) on a trial basis in 2003 and has raised the reimbursement rates continuously since then. Based on statistical data about ...
