AIM To compare clinical and cost outcomes of psoriasis in non-biological treatment of adherent and non-adherent patients in a developing Balkans country going through socio-economic transition. METHODS The study was designed as a retrospective cohort study involving patients with psoriasis adherent and non-adherent to the prescribed treatment regimen. The patients were followed for a period o...

The Housing sector can be considered both the exchange of intermediate goods and the investment goods for the manufacturing sectors. The housing sector is the buyer of intermediate goods such as brick, cement, iron etc from one side, and uses the investment goods such as crane etc from other side. Furthermore, it uses the labour force. Thus, the housing sector has three types of buying which in...

nowadays, efficient goods distribution in target markets is one of the most important challenges of marketing managers and goods producers. distribution of goods and services has a significant contribution in gross domestic product (gdp) of countries. so an efficient distribution network can support constant economic development of countries and reduces end-user price of products. identifying a...

A long-term liquid culture system of hemopoietic tissue derived from adult hamster spleen has been described. These primary liquid cultures can maintain stem cell proliferation and differentiation for more than three months without secondary repopulation. A characteristic of the liquid cultures is the formation of clusters of hemopoietic cells around adherent stromal cells. Some islands were co...

Bone marrow is the point of origin of several cell types, including stromal cells. Adherent bone marrow stromal cells can differentiate into chondrocytes, adipocytes and osteoblasts. Several substances which modulate the dynamics and differentiation of bone marrow stromal cells have been identified. Recently it has been discovered that those bone marrow cells which are non-adherent in tissue cu...

BACKGROUND Few studies have evaluated medication adherence among older vs younger individuals with bipolar disorder (BPD). We compared adherence with antipsychotic medication among older (age 60 and older) and younger individuals using a large case registry (n = 73,964). METHODS Adherence was evaluated using the medication possession ratio (MPR) for patients receiving antipsychotic medication...

BACKGROUND The classification of patients as adherent or non-adherent to medications is typically based on an arbitrary threshold for the proportion of prescribed doses taken. Here, we define a patient as pharmacokinetically adherent if the serum drug levels resulting from his/her pattern of medication-taking behavior remained within the therapeutic range. METHODS We used pharmacokinetic mode...

Small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) lines are distinguished from non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) lines by their growth in floating aggregates, in contrast to the adherent monolayers formed by NSCLC cells in culture. Of 50 well-characterized SCLC lines recently described by the National Cancer Institute (NCI)-Navy Medical Oncology Branch, only four variant cell lines (SCLC-v) grew as adherent monol...

The involvement of colony-stimulating activity (CSA) in murine long-term bone marrow cultures (LTBMC) was studied using bilayer agar cultures. The supernatants of LTBMC were removed, a layer of dense agar was spread over the cells adherent to the bottom of the flask, and fresh myeloid cells were plated as source of CFU-C in an upper agar layer. Large numbers of granulocytic and macrophagic colo...
