Importance of ground properties in the relationship of ground vibration-structural hazard and land application
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2014)
Vibration parameters like frequency, acceleration and particle velocity play an active role in the relationship of ground vibration-structural hazard. These parameters change depending on blasting energy and the properties ...
Role of the VEGF 936 gene polymorphism and VEGF-A levels in the late-term arteriovenous fistula thrombosis in patients undergoing hemodialysis
(SPRINGER, 2014)
Vascular access is vital for hemodialysis patients. A major factor that facilitates arteriovenous (AV) fistula failure is stenosis and thrombosis due to intimal hyperplasia developing in the venous segment of AV fistula. ...
The effects of sildenafil in liver and kidney injury in a rat model of severe scald burn: a biochemical and histopathological study
(TURKISH ASSOC TRAUMA EMERGENCY SURGERY, 2014)
BACKGROUND: Severe burn induces systemic inflammation and reactive oxygen species leading to lipid peroxidation which may play role in remote organs injury. Sildenafil is a selective and potent inhibitor of cyclic guanosine ...
Sequential determination of serum viral titers, virus-specific IgG antibodies, and TNF-alpha, IL-6, IL-10, and IFN-gamma levels in patients with Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever
(BIOMED CENTRAL LTD, 2014)
Background: Although there have been a number of studies on the pathogenesis of Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) recently, knowledge on this topic is still insufficient. This study aims to reveal the kinetics of serum ...
Significant correlation between uric acid levels and flow-mediated dilatation in patients with masked hypertension
(INFORMA HEALTHCARE, 2014)
Background: Serum uric acid (UA) level is associated with prognosis in cardiovascular disorders such as sustained hypertension, diabetes mellitus and chronic kidney diseases. Increased UA levels in sustained hypertension ...
