background: recent studies demonstrated that resveratrol has many therapeutic effects on liver disorders. resveratrol significantly increased survival after liver transplantation, decreased fat deposition, necrosis, and apoptosis which induced by ischemia in wistar rats. it provided liver protection against chemical, cholestatic, and alcohol injury. resveratrol can improve glucose metabolism an...

PURPOSE: This cross-sectional study aimed to assess teaching staff and their students' perceptions regarding the students' competency for clinical performance following the preclinical fixed prosthodontics course and their suggestion regarding alternative methods to improve the preclinical training. METHODS: Fourthand fifth-year dental students and their teaching staff participated in a survey ...

The purpose of this article is to discuss the prediction of cognitive enhancement in schizophrenia from preclinical data. Despite increasing focus on the significance of cognitive impairment in schizophrenia, the progress of novel treatments has been slow. Hyman and Fenton's identification of a "translational gap" between preclinical and clinical science underscores the need to revise preclinic...

Recent studies have shown the value of Temporal Enhanced Ultrasound (TeUS) imaging for tissue characterization in transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsies. Here, we present results of experiments designed to study the impact of temporal order of the data in TeUS signals. We assess the impact of variations in temporal order on the ability to automatically distinguish benign prostate-tissu...

This paper deals with a new electrotherapeutic method for use in physiatric treatment. The micro-pulse stimulation is based on the combination of three electrotherapeutic methods: burst therapy, high-voltage pulsed current therapy, and microelectrostimulation. Micro-pulse stimulation is special for its unusual configuration of pulse parameters; high-voltage electric pulses are safely used as a ...

Many tumor antigens have been identified that can be targeted by the immune system. Animal models that have been genetically modified to express human HLA molecules instead of their own MHC antigens have shown to be valuable in the discovery of peptides derived from tumor antigens many of which have since been used in clinical trials with varying degrees of success. Although these models are no...
