The cytotoxicity of a number of anticancer drugs can be potentiated by mild hyperthermia. Since the cytotoxicity of low-hyperthermic temperatures in the range of 39-43 degrees can be potentiated by using a step-down heating (SDH) sequence (short times at greater than or equal to 45 degrees followed by longer times at lower temperatures), we investigated the combined effects of SDH (specifically...

The Coronavirus pandemic of 2019–20 (COVID-19) affected multiple social determinants health (SDH) across the globe, including in New Zealand, exacerbating inequities. Understanding these system dynamics can support decision making for response and recovery measures. This study combined a scoping review with causal loop diagram to further understanding connections between SDH, measures, both sho...

Saccharopine dehydrogenase (SDH) is the last enzyme in the AAA pathway of l-lysine biosynthesis. On the basis of crystal structures of SDH, the whole catalytic cycle of SDH has been studied by using density functional theory (DFT) method. Calculation results indicate that hydride transfer is the rate-limiting step with an energy barrier of 25.02kcal/mol, and the overall catalytic reaction is ca...

With the advancement in telecommunications, packet traffic is rapidly becoming the mainstream of data traffic. The use and deployment of Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH) networks for interconnection has gained traction worldwide due to its flexibility and standard for interconnecting multiple vendors, low operating cost and the high quality of service it provides. Plesiochronous Digital Hier...

We report a case of a 47 year old man who presented with head injury due to road traffic accident, with CT scan suggestive of large left sided acute SDH with comminuted fracture of occipital bone. Within a few hours, patient showed significant neurological improvement. Follow-up CT scan revealed rapid spontaneous resolution and redistribution of the acute SDH. The proposed hypothesis explaining...

The selection of high-yielding, short-duration rice cultivars is essential for the double-rice cropping system. High hill density could be achieved with less labor under machine transplanted conditions. Therefore, dense planting more practical machine-transplanted rice. While few studies have been conducted to certify feasibility cultivar combined in current study was executed determine effects...

Vertebroplasty (VP) is a well-known therapeutic modality used to treat pain associated with vertebral compression fractures. Major complications such as cord or root compression, epidural and subdural hematomas (SDH) and pulmonary emboli, occur in less than 1% of patients who undergo VP after compression fracture. Spinal SDH is an extremely rare complication that usually happens a few hours aft...
