OBJECTIVE Clinical observations suggest that negative affects such as helplessness/hopelessness (HE/HO) may induce autonomic duration; affects were assessed for every move after reconstruction of the games. In all games compiled, 18 situation of intense confidence/optimism and 20 of intense helplessness/hopelessness were observed. RESULTS Intense affects of HE/HO were associated with decreasi...

Incidence of sudden cardiac death (SCD) in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) remains high. Limited data is available about whether implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) can prevent arrhythmic death in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). The purpose of this retrospective study was to determine the impact of CKD on all-cause and sudden cardiac death in ICD recipients. We evaluated 4...

A newly introduced sulphydryl compound, dithiothreitol (DTT), is evaluated for its optimal conditions of inactivation of IgM antibodies. The maximal effects of DTT reagent are observed when its final concentrations are between 00025 M and 0005 M, pH between 7 0 and 8O0, and incubation at 370C. Concentrations over 0 01 M, pH values greater than 8-0, and an incubation temperature over 40'C result...

The global seroprevalence of latent toxoplasmosis is estimated to be higher than 30%. The presence of slowly dividing parasites in tissue cysts located mainly in immunoprivileged organs was long considered asymptomatic. Recently, many studies have shown that latent Toxoplasma infections could have serious impacts on human health. Here we ran a cross-sectional study in a population of 1486 volun...

Objectives The objective of this study was to investigate the association between p53 expression and microbial acetaldehyde production in patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). Study Design Oral mucosal biopsies from 22 OSCC 24 healthy controls (HCs) were collected. analyzed by immunohistochemistry. Microbial samples collected mucosa ethanol measured gas chromatography. Results majo...

PURPOSE Histomorphometry and microhardness measurements were performed after Ti6AI4V implantation in cancellous and cortical bone of healthy and ovariectomized animals to determine characterization of the bone-biomaterial interface in osteopenic bone. MATERIALS AND METHODS Nine ovariectomized and 9 sham-aged rats were used. Four months later, nails were implanted in the distal femurs, and the...

KPD 0005+5106, with an effective temperature of $\simeq$200,000 K, is one the hottest white dwarfs (WDs). ROSAT unexpectedly detected "hard" ($\sim$1 keV) X-rays from this apparently single WD. We have obtained Chandra observations that confirm spatial coincidence hard X-ray source 0005+5106. also XMM-Newton as well PG 1159$-$035 and WD 0121$-$756, which are whose were by at 3$\sigma$-4$\sigma$...
