BACKGROUND For Chlamydia trachomatis (CT), a test of cure (TOC) within 3-5 weeks is not recommended. International guidelines differ in advising a Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG) TOC. Retesting CT and NG positives within 3-12 months is recommended in international guidelines. We assessed TOC and retesting practices including extragenital testing in general practitioner (GP) practices located in diff...

The toucan (toc) gene is required in the germline for somatic cell patterning during Drosophila oogenesis. To better understand the function of toc, we performed a detailed analysis of the distribution of the Toucan protein during oogenesis. Toc expression is restricted to the germline cells and shows a dynamic distribution pattern throughout follicle development. Mislocalization of the Toc pro...

Transitions of care (TOC) refer to the movement of patients across institutions, among providers, between different levels of care, and to and from home. Medication errors that occur during TOC have the potential to result in medical complications that are serious for the patient and costly to the health care system. Positive outcomes have been demonstrated when pharmacists are involved in prov...

The present study investigates the relative ability of α-, γ-, and δ-tocopherol (Toc) to modulate cell signaling events that are associated with inflammatory responses in fetal-derived intestinal (FHs 74 Int) cells. Secretion of the proinflammatory cytokine IL-8 in FHs 74 Int cells was stimulated in the following order: α-Toc<γ-Toc<δ-Toc. A similar proinflammatory response was observed when inf...

BACKGROUND In this research, the removal of natural organic matter from aqueous solutions using advanced oxidation processes (UV/H2O2) was evaluated. Therefore, the response surface methodology and Box-Behnken design matrix were employed to design the experiments and to determine the optimal conditions. The effects of various parameters such as initial concentration of H2O2 (100-180 mg/L), pH (...

We investigated the distribution and metabolism of SRR a -tocopherol ( SRR a -Toc), synthetic a -Toc compared with RRR a -Toc, in rats after a single oral administration of 2 mg (20 m Ci) SRR and RRR a -[5-methyl14 C]Toc. In the liver, there was no difference in the recovery of radioactivity until 12 h after administration, and it reached a maximum of 4.4% of the dose after 12 h, but in other t...

The contributions of total organic carbon and nitrogen to elemental cycling in the surface layer of the Sargasso Sea are evaluated using a 5-yr time-series data set (1994}1998). Surface-layer total organic carbon (TOC) and total organic nitrogen (TON) concentrations ranged from 60 to 70 M C and 4 to 5.5 M N seasonally, resulting in a mean C :Nmolar ratio of 14.4$2.2. The highest surface concent...

TOC is the acronym for total organic carbon. The first TOC methods were developed to correlate information obtained from chemical oxygen demand (COD) and biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) tests in drinking and wastewater. Today new government regulations are making TOC analysis a standard test for all industry water types. This paper discusses the principles of operation of common TOC methods and...
