The liver is the most important site of drug metabolism and patients with liver disease might be expected to have a reduced capacity to metabolize drugs. The rates of elimination of extensively metabolized drugs such as the barbiturates, diazepam, tolbutamide, isoniazid, phenylbutazone, rifampicin, lignocaine, paracetamol, aminopyrine, antipyrine and pethidine have been measured in patients wit...

Intrarenal octreotide treatment prevents sodium retention in liver cirrhotic rats: evidence for direct effects within the thick ascending limb of Henle’s loop. Am J Physiol Renal Physiol 291: F537–F545, 2006. First published January 17, 2006; doi:10.1152/ajprenal.00226.2005.—We have previously shown that syst...

Thirty schizophrenic patients fulfilling the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders IV criteria for schizophrenia and 30 control participants were shown a set of incomplete sentences, and were asked to complete them with the first word(s) that came to mind. Target sentences included an ambiguous word, the ambiguity of which was not resolved within the clause. However, completion ...

BACKGROUND Traumatic dental injury (TDI) during childhood may negatively impact the quality of life of children. OBJECTIVE To describe the association of oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) and domains (oral symptons, functional limitation, emotional- and social-well-being) of children with individual and contextual variables. METHODS A cross-sectional study was performed using a r...

Trauma to the primary dentition present special problems and the management is often different as compared with permanent teeth. An appropriate emergency treatment plan is important for a good prognosis. Guidelines are useful for delivering the best care possible in an efficient manner. The International Association of Dental Traumatology (IADT) has developed a consensus statement after a revie...

Question Answering (QA) systems (as QA track of the Text Retrieval conference (TREC-QA) competitions (Voorhees 2001) ), are able both to understand questions in natural language and to produce answers in the form of selected paragraphs extracted from very large collections of text. Generally, they are open-domain systems, and do not rely on specialised conceptual knowledge, while using a mixtur...

The low density lipoprotein receptor-related protein (LRP) is a large multifunctional receptor that is involved in the cellular uptake of a number of functionally diverse ligands including apoE-rich remnant lipoproteins, lipoprotein lipase, alpha 2-macroglobulin-protease complexes, plasminogen activator-inhibitor complexes, and the active protease tissue-type plasminogen activator. Ligand bindi...

The medical, rehabilitation and bio-mimetic technology demands human actuated devices which can support in the daily life activities such as functional assistance or functional substitution of human organs. These devices can be used in the form of prosthetic, skeletal and artificial muscles devices (Andreasen et al., 2005; Bitzer & Smagt, 2006; DoNascimento et al., 2008). However, we still have...
