BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE EAF consists of exceedingly rare lesions and presently lacks specific imaging reports. The purpose of this study was to determine the CT and MR imaging features of nasal cavity EAF. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 6 patients with histology-proven EAF in the nasal cavity. All 6 patients underwent CT and 3 patients also underwent MR imaging. The followin...

The aim of this study was to determine the impending antioxidant properties of different extracts of crude methanolic extract (CME) of leaves of Lannea coromandelica (L. coromandelica) and its two ethyl acetate (EAF) and aqueous (AqF) subfractions by employing various established in vitro systems and estimation of total phenolic and flavonoid content. The results showed that extract and fractio...

Induction of preneoplastic lesions, termed enzyme-altered foci (EAF), is considered to be an early step in the development of liver cancer. In view of the relatively homogenous properties of the majority of EAF, these lesions are suggested to arise as an adaptive response to toxic stress. An overall goal of this thesis was to study the role of adaptations to genotoxic stress in EAF development ...

The selective removal of lead and chlorine with minimizing zinc loss from electric arc furnace (EAF) dust is very important in the process for recovering high purity zinc from the EAF dust by high temperature metal recovery (HTMR) processes. In this study, the volatilization reaction of lead contained in the EAF dust was investigated at reaction temperatures between 973 and 1223K in air. The ma...

Background: Excessive production of oxygen free radicals and imbalance in the mechanisms responsible for antioxidant protection may result in the onset of many diseases including breast cancer. Objective: To evaluate antiproliferative and antioxidant activity of an ethylacetate fraction (EAF) of Picria fel-terrae Lour. Herbs in the T47D cell line. Methods: Phenolic and total flavonoid contents ...

optimal capacitor placement, considering power system loss reduction, voltage profile improvement, line reactive power decrease and power factor correction, is of particular importance in power system planning and control. the distribution system operator calculates the optimal place, number and capacity of capacitors based on two major purposes: active power loss reduction and return on invest...

In recent years, non-linear loads on the distribution side are increasing rapidly. Notably, electric arc furnace (EAF) is most used load due to its diverse applications for industrial needs. However, EAF has some disadvantages like uneven of heat inside furnace, release unwanted gases, increased level harmonics, and Flickers in voltages. Specifically, power quality concerns more need comprehens...

The present study was designed to characterize the bone protective effects of (-)-epiafzelechin (EAF), a flavan-3-ol, in mature ovariectomized mice model and its ability to stimulate osteoblastic activity and inhibit osteoclastic activity. Mature C57BL/6 mice (three to four months old) were either ovariectomised (OVX) or sham-operated and subjected to treatment (vehicle, 17β-oestradiol (E2, 200...

The purpose of the study was to determine the relation between quintiles of muscular strength after adjustment for age and body weight, and excessive body fat (EBF) and excessive abdominal fat (EAF) when controlling for cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) and other potential confounders. A two-phased cross-sectional and longitudinal study was conducted assessing the prevalence and incidence of EBF ...

Antioxidant effects of ethyl acetate fraction of Mentha spicata (L.) were evaluated against 4-nitroquinoline-1-oxide injected mice. For this study, experiment setup consisted of 36 albino mice of either sex divided into 6 groups: Control (25% DMSO in water), ethyl acetate fraction (EAF) alone group (80, 160 mg/Kg body weight-bwt), 4-NQO (7.5 mg/Kg bwt-IP) alone and 4-NQO + EAF. EAF and vehicles...
