the pharmacokinetic properties of amoxicillin and clavulanic acid when used alone or in combination may be different and show interaction between these two agents that might decrease the absolute bioavailability of clavulanic acid. in an open, randomized, replicated latin square under fasting condition, pharmacokinetics of new formulations of amoxicillin/clavulanic acid were compared with a ref...

Plants have an excellent mechanism for responding to pathogen invasion by specific and inducible defense reactions, which is often apparent as the so-called hypersensitive reaction (HR). The molecular dissection of the mechanism of HR is difficult since the biological system involves intricate interactions between plant and pathogen. A simplified system, in which suspension cultured plant cells...

The Endotine midface technique, through an endoscopic temporal-incision only approach, is the author's preferred method of malar fat pad suspension and fixation. The bioabsorbable Endotine device avoids an intraoral incision, eliminates sutures, offers multipoint fixation, and the leash fixation mechanism provides fast and simple adjustability for optimal control of midface elevation and volume.

Until now, studies on suspension control by using frequency response analysis that have been reported are almost for motorcar, but not for multi-legged walking robot. However, because of the disturbances, such as the various frequency properties of terrain, the collision and the slip between foot of robot and ground, the dynamic changes of the supported weight by each leg and the centre of grav...

Ovarian cancer cells are able to create invasive implants in the peritoneum and their growth is directly associated with the angiogenetic potential. This effect is probably stimulated by vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and interleukin-8 (IL-8), which are both found in ascites. The aim of this study was to assess the influence of ascites produced by ovarian cancer on the angiogenesis. ...

A novel flux control magnetic suspension system that places control plates beside the magnetic source (permanent magnet) is proposed. In a conventional flux-path control magnetic suspension system, the control plates were inserted between the magnetic source and the suspended object (floator). In contrast, the control plates were placed beside the magnetic source in the proposed system. In such...
