purpose: to compare the safety, efficacy, predictability, stability and complications of wavefront-guided laser-assisted subepithelial keratectomy (lasek) in low myopia, myopic astigmatism and high myopia correction. methods: in his retrospective study, 416 eyes were divided to 3 groups: 159 eyes with low myopia (lm) and mean refractive spherical equivalent (mrse) of -3.68±1.33 (sd) diopter (d)...

Growth of a murine fibrosarcoma was suppressed when tumor cells were mixed with viable Listeria monocytogenes (LM) before intradermal injection into nonimmune syngeneic recepients. Immunization of recipients, by intravenous injection of LM 11 days before transplantation of LM-tumor cell mixtures, eliminated the mortality associated with large doses of LM but did not alter the antitumor activity...

A sensitive and specific high performance thin layer chromatographic method has been developed for estimation of a novel antihyperlipidemic agent LM 13765 in rabbit plasma and its use for pharmacokinetic study has been evaluated. The proposed method was employed to study pharmacokinetics of LM 13765 in rabbits. It was observed that LM 13765 metabolized immediately after oral administration. The...

Introducción. El nitrógeno (N) es el macronutriente que más afecta rendimiento de los cultivos; sin embargo, su utilización por cultivos se asocia a una baja eficiencia recuperación; esta razón necesario analizar absorción en tejido vegetal durante ciclo para obtener beneficio deseado. Objetivo. Conocer efecto la fertilización nitrogenada crecimiento, concentración nitratos base del tallo (NBT)...

OBJECTIVES This study sought to assess outcomes in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for unprotected left main (LM) disease. BACKGROUND Limited data are available on outcomes in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction undergoing LM PCI. METHODS Of 9,075 patients with ST-segment elevation myoc...

AIMS The aim of this study was to assess the feasibility of unprotected non-ostial left main (LM) imaging by frequency domain optical coherence tomography (FD-OCT). METHODS AND RESULTS We conducted a retrospective analysis of OCT studies performed to image lesions located in the non-ostial LM. OCT studies were analysed off-line to detect the number of artefact frames in the different LM/bifur...

We outline a scheme for the way in which early vision may handle information about shading (luminance modulation, LM) and texture (contrast modulation, CM). Previous work on the detection of gratings has found no sub-threshold summation, and no cross-adaptation, between LM and CM patterns. This strongly implied separate channels for the detection of LM and CM structure. However, we now report e...

Previous work from our laboratory has shown that Lm-LLO-E7 induces complete regression of approximately 75% of established TC-1 tumors, whereas Lm-E7 only slows the growth of such tumors. In this study, we examine the effects of Lm-LLO-E7 vs Lm-E7 on APCs. We hypothesize that the difference in antitumor efficacy of the two vaccines is due to the ability of each of these vectors to render immatu...

Background & Aims: Significant left main coronary artery disease (LMCAD) is found in 3 to 6 percent of all patients who undergo coronary arteriography. LMCAD usually requires an emergent surgery that has a higher rate of mortality and complications. The risk factors of left main involvement in previous studies are controversial. The aim of this study was to determine the traditional risk factor...
