IN AN experiment performed a few years ago [l], which involved periodic drawings of venous blood from an indwelling cournand needle, it was observed that it was more difficult to withdraw venous blood (from a superficial arm vein) in Field Dependent (FD) than Field Independent (FI) Ss. A variety of other investigations have suggested that these two groups differ in the degree to which they are ...

The change of compressing personnel will inevitably accompany hands off time when cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is performed by two or more rescuers. The present study assessed whether changing compression by a second rescuer located on the opposite side (OS) of the first rescuer can reduce hands-off time compared to CPR on the same side (SS) when CPR is performed by two rescuers. The sce...

Sustainability science (SS) has emerged to foster inter- and transdisciplinary research practices the creation of new, robust, actionable knowledge for navigating sustainability transitions. However, whether paradigm emerging SS permeated relevant body integrate with subfield assessment (SA) is an open question. Aiming investigate enhance interdisciplinary communication in theory practice, we c...

Synovial sarcomas (SS) are classified as subgroup of soft tissue sarcomas affecting mainly extremities of young adults. Primary SS of kidney are very rare tumours with poor prognosis. Though they have characteristic histology and immunohistochemistry (IHC) due to rarity of incidence it is difficult to diagnose them. Sometimes chromosomal rearrangement studies are required to confirm the diagnos...

It is shown that if a regular knot of class \(C^2\) embedded in the boundary complex hyperbolic plane as limit set discrete subgroup \(\mathrm {PU} (2,1)\), then it either chain or an \(\mathbb {R}\)-circle.

Key words stars: activity – stars: coronae – stars: late-type – stars: magnetic fields – stars: rotation – X-rays: stars Using a new catalog of 824 solar and late-type stars with measured X-ray luminosities and rotation periods we have studied the relationship between rotation and stellar activity that is believed to be a probe of the underlying stellar dynamo. Using an unbiased subset of the s...

Numerous studies have focused on the association between heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) gene promoter polymorphisms and susceptibility to cancer; however, results remain ambiguous. The present systematic Human Genome Epidemiology review and meta-analysis aimed to clarify this association. A systematic search was used to assess the association of HO-1 gene polymorphisms with cancer susceptibility in th...

The effects of somatostatin (SS-14 and/or SS-28) and of the three octapeptide SS-analogs that are available for clinical use (octreotide, BIM-23014 and RC-160) on hormone release by primary cultures of 15 clinically nonfunctioning pituitary adenomas (NFA), 7 prolactinomas, and 2 insulinomas were investigated. In the pituitary adenoma cultures, a comparison was made with the effects of the dopam...

BACKGROUND Synovial sarcoma (SS) is a rare cancer and accounts for 5-10% of adult soft tissue sarcomas. Making an accurate diagnosis is difficult due to the overlapping histological features of SS with other types of sarcomas and the non-specific immunohistochemistry profile findings. Molecular testing is thus considered necessary to confirm the diagnosis since more than 90% of SS cases carry t...

Genetic background of an individual can drastically influence an organism's response upon environmental stress and pathological stimulus. Previous studies in inbred rats showed that compared to Brown Norway (BN), Dahl salt-sensitive (SS) rat exerts strong hypoxia susceptibility. However, despite extensive narrow-down approaches via the chromosome substitution methodology, this genome-based phys...
