Abstract Background Self-reported measures play a crucial role in research, clinical practice and health assessment. Instruments used to assess self-reported health-related quality of life (HRQoL) need validation ensure that they measure what are intended to, detect true changes over time differentiate between subjects. A generic instrument measuring HRQoL adapted for use among people living wi...

Cycloaddition reaction between C30 and hula-I, 3-diene was studied within the Snimework of AM I (RHF)level. The reaction involving the double bond between two hexagons and a hexagon and a pentagon, as wellas the cycloaddition products followed by disrotatory ogs s electrocyclic ring openings were considered.Thermodynamics parameters and stability energy and innsation state are evaluated in thre...

● Of the 59 publications included in this review, the majority of publications (n=44) reported data on the impact on NSCLC on patients overall HRQoL. — Larsson (2012) and Lee (2011) found that stage III-IV patients reported a significant reduction in global or overall health, as defined by the EORTC QLQ-C30 and WHOQOLBREF respectively, when compared to the general population or healthy controls...

Vitamin K1 was determined in a variety of foods by using reversed-phase liquid chromatography with a C30 column followed by post-column reduction to the fluorescent hydroquinone derivatives. Lipids were removed by lipase digestion, followed by single extraction into hydrocarbon, and the protocol was extended to selected natural and processed foods. Biologically active trans- and inactive ci-vit...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of psychological intervention on the life quality of patients with laryngeal cancer. METHODS Two hundred and ten patients with laryngeal cancer were randomly assigned to the study group receiving psychological intervention and control group receiving routine nursing care. The Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD), Hamilton Anxiety Scale...

Protein-protein interactions are involved in most biological processes and are important targets for drug design. Over the past decade, there has been increased interest in the design of small molecules that mimic functional epitopes of protein inhibitors. BLIP is a 165 amino acid protein that is a potent inhibitor of TEM-1 beta-lactamase (K(i) = 0.1 nM). To aid in the development of new inhibi...
