Purpose. Using the classical Ankaferd Blood Stopper (ABS) solution to create active hemostasis during partial nephrectomy (PN) may not be so effective due to insufficient contact surface between the ABS hemostatic liquid agent and the bleeding area. In order to broaden the contact surface, we generated a chimeric hemostatic agent, ABS nanohemostat, via combining a self-assembling peptide amphip...

This paper concentrates on a study of a novel multi-sensor aided method by using acoustic and visual sensors for detection, recognition and separation of End-of Life vehicles' (ELVs) plastic materials, in order to optimize the recycling rate of automotive shredder residues (ASRs). Sensor-based sorting technologies have been utilized for material recycling for the last two decades. One of the pr...

This is a special issue dedicated to the announcement of Shelah’s recent solution of the Minimal Tower problem, one of the oldest and most important problems in infinite combinatorics which also motivated some new studies in SPM (see fourth issue of this bulletin). We give some background and personal perspectives on the problem and its solution. We decided not to include additional research an...

Abstract: Recently, design of electric scooters (ESs) has commonly adopted brushless DC motors (BLDCMs) in place of brushed DC motors. This invention develops a new anti-lock braking system (ABS), based on a slip-ratio estimator, for ES utilizing the braking force generated by the BLDCM when electrical energy releases to the load yielding an analogous effect of ABS control in gas-engine vehicle...

The immunogenicity of therapeutic Abs is a concern as anti-drug Abs may impact negatively on the pharmacodynamics and safety profile of Ab drugs. The factors governing induction of anti-drug Abs are not fully understood. In this study, we describe a model based on mouse-human chimeric Abs for the study of Ab immunogenicity in vivo. Six chimeric Abs containing human V regions and mouse C regions...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a new medicinal plant extract (Ankaferd Blood Stopper®, ABS) on the healing process of aphthous ulcers. A total of 50 patients with recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS) who have had currently a single oral ulcer in the mouth were included in the study. Patients were randomly divided in 2 groups: ABS group and Kenacort group (triamcinolon...

AIMS The apical ballooning syndrome (ABS) is a new diagnostic entity which is increasingly recognized. Precise magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data are not yet available and there is little evidence for the differential diagnosis of ABS assessed by MRI. METHODS AND RESULTS Between January 2005 and January 2008, 6100 consecutive patients with diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome underwent lef...

AIM A quantitative model of postlaminectomy was designed in rats. The effects of Momordica Charantia (MC) and Ankaferd blood stopper (ABS) on the bone and scar formation after laminectomy were concurrently evaluated. MATERIAL AND METHODS Eighteen adult Wistar albino rats underwent lumbar laminectomy at L2-L3 vertebral levels, and were randomly assigned to one of three groups of six rats each....

In addition to the large range of applications proposed in literature, ionic liquids (ILs) have been recently reported to be able to form aqueous biphasic systems (ABS). They could thus be interesting media in biotechnological applications for the separation and purification of vital biomolecules. Therefore, in this work, a systematic study involving a large number of imidazolium-based ILs was ...
