OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS To evaluate the clinical characteristics and therapeutic response of tinnitus due to middle ear myoclonus (MEM) and to suggest appropriate diagnostic methods. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective chart review. METHODS This study included 58 patients with tinnitus diagnosed with MEM, who were seen from January 2004 to July 2011. Clinical and audiological characteristics were inve...

Objectives: Evaluating the addition effect of J. insularis extract and FSH on the survival, activation and ROS production after in vitro culture of ovine preantral follicles enclosed in ovarian tissue. Methods: In the first experiment, ovarian fragments were fixed (non-cultured control) or in vitro cultured in α-MEM (cultured control), α-MEM supplemented with FSH 50 ng/mL, or in α-MEM supplemen...

The influence of latent virus on CD8+ T cell memory is poorly understood. HSV type 1 specifically establishes latency in trigeminal ganglia (TG) after corneal infection of mice. In latently infected TG, IL-15 deprivation reduced the following: 1) accumulation of HSV-specific CD8+ effector T cells (HSV-CD8(eff)), 2) accumulation of CD127(+) putative HSV-CD8 memory precursors, and 3) the size and...

BACKGROUND Improvements in culture media formulations have led to an increase in the ability of sheep embryo in culture throughout the preimplantation period. OBJECTIVE This study was carried out to evaluate the effects of various concentrations of MEM vitamins during in vitro maturation of sheep oocytes and subsequent embryo development. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sheep ovaries were collected f...

Magnesium is very light metal which possesses many useful properties, such as a high strength to weight ratio and good electrical thermal conductivity. its alloys can be used in implant surgery biodegradable materials. Taking into account the rapid degradation process of Mg chloride-containing solutions complex composition human body media, it worthwhile study mechanism kinetics alloy corrosion...

Patients with ovarian cancer are generally diagnosed at FIGO (International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics) stage III/IV, when ascites is common. The volume of ascites correlates positively with the extent of metastasis and negatively with prognosis. Membrane GRP78, a stress-inducible endoplasmic reticulum chaperone that is also expressed on the plasma membrane ((mem)GRP78) of aggressi...

18 We investigated the activity of meropenem-clavulanic acid (MEM-CLA) against 68 M. 19 tuberculosis isolates. We included predominantly multiand extensively drug-resistant 20 tuberculosis isolates (MDR/XDR-TB), since the activity of MEM-CLA for resistant isolates 21 has not been studied extensively previously. Using Middlebrook 7H10 medium, all but four 22 isolates showed a MIC distribution of...

We examine some mathematical aspects of learning unknown mappings with the Mixture of Experts Model MEM Speci cally we observe that the MEM is at least as powerful as a class of neural networks in a sense that will be made precise Upper bounds on the approximation error are established for a wide class of target functions The general theorem states that kf fnkp c n r d for f W r p L a Sobolev c...

AIM The aim of this study was to compare the costs of management of moderate to severe infections in patients treated with imipenem/cilastatin (IC) and meropenem (MEM). Pharmacoeconomic studies in Saudi Arabia are scarce. The current hospital formulary contains 2 carbapenems: IC and MEM. These antibiotics share a similar spectrum of activity. There are conflicting reviews with regard to the rel...

In this work, the behaviour of photoanodes made TiO2, SnS2 and TiO2/SnS2 was examined in presence absence pharmaceuticals diclofenac (DCF), memantine hydrochloride (MEM) salicylic acid (SA). The focus current research is on following photoelectrochemical (PEC) characterisation methods: linear polarisation, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), open circuit potential (OCP) monitoring. Li...
