Bronchial Wall Thickness in Toll Collectors
(NATL INST OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY & HEALTH, JAPAN, 2010)
There is an increasing concern about the possible adverse effects of diesel exhaust particulates on human health. In a diesel exposed occupational group composed of 120 toll collectors, a cross-sectional study was performed ...
Neutron-Induced Medical Radioisotope Production in a Conceptual Accelerator-Driven System, Fueled with Uranium Carbide
(POLISH ACAD SCIENCES INST PHYSICS, 2016)
In this study, the medical radioisotope production performance of a conceptual accelerator-driven system is investigated. Lead-bismuth eutectic is used as target material. The fuel core of the considered accelerator-driven ...
Effect of thyroid hormone replacement therapy on ovarian volume and androgen hormones in patients with untreated primary hypothyroidism
(K FAISAL SPEC HOSP RES CENTRE, 2011)
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Primary hypothyroidism may be associated with ovarian enlargement and/or cyst formation. We evaluated the effect of thyroid hormone replacement therapy on hormonal changes, ovarian volume and ...
Differential effects of cocaine exposure on the abundance of phospholipid species in rat brain and blood
(ELSEVIER IRELAND LTD, 2015)
Background: Lipid profiles in the blood are altered in human cocaine users, suggesting that cocaine exposure can induce lipid remodeling. Methods: Lipid changes in the brain tissues of rats sensitized to cocaine were ...
Relationship between homocysteine and non-dipper pattern in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus
(SBEM-SOC BRASIL ENDOCRINOLOGIA & METABOLOGIA, 2012)
Objective: The rate of reduction of nocturnal blood pressure (NBP) is lesser than normal in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (type 2 DM). Hyperhomocysteinemia (HHC) disrupts vascular structure and function, no matter ...
Learning Effects Associated With the Least Stable Level of the Biodex (R) Stability System During Dual and Single Limb Stance
(JOURNAL SPORTS SCIENCE & MEDICINE, 2014)
The Biodex (R) Stability System (BSS) has high test-retest reliability when stable (high) resistance levels are used. However, reliability data for lower stability levels, associated with more pronounced learning curves, ...
Effect of chronic renal failure on the purinergic responses of corpus cavernosal smooth muscle in rabbits
(WILEY, 2002)
Objective To examine purinergic relaxation responses in chronic renal failure (CRF) in an experimental rabbit model, and thus evaluate the possible involvement of the purinergic system in erectile dysfunction with CRF. ...
Non-Extraction Treatment of Skeletal Class II Adult Patient with Total Maxillary Arch Distalization
(AVES PRESS LTD, 2015)
In this case report, we present an extraction-prescribed Class II division 1 adult patient's non-extraction treatment by distalization of the total maxillary arch with miniscrews. The miniscrews were inserted into the ...
Anomalous WW gamma couplings with beam polarization at the Compact Linear Collider
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2016)
We study the anomalous WW gamma couplings at the Compact Linear Collider through the processes e(+)e(-) -> W+W-, e(-)e(+) -> e(-)gamma*e(+) -> e(+)nu W-e(-) and e(-)e(+) -> e(-)gamma*gamma*e(+) -> e(-)W(+)W(-)e(+) (gamma* ...
The evaluation of the role of beta-hydroxy fatty acids on chronic inflammation and insulin resistance
(HINDAWI PUBLISHING CORPORATION, 2006)
beta-hydroxy fatty acids are a major component of lipid A moiety of lipopolysaccaride. We aimed to investigate the role of free beta-hydroxy fatty acids on inflammation, as well as to evaluate their e. ects on cytokine ...
