The carotid body (CB) chemoreflex maintains blood Po2 and Pco2/H+ homeostasis and displays sensory plasticity during exposure to chronic hypoxia. Purinergic signaling via P1 and P2 receptors plays a pivotal role in shaping the afferent discharge at the sensory synapse containing catecholaminergic chemoreceptor (type I) cells, glial-like type II cells, and sensory (petrosal) nerve endings. Howev...

AIM The aim of this study was to compare time of preparation and canal aberrations in a simulated root canals after using three different rotary systems: Endostar E5, Endostar E3 and T One File Gold. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 90 endodontic training blocks were used in this study and divided into three groups consisting of 30 each (n = 30). Blocks processing was performed by thirty dent...

The Intel Xeon Processor E5-2600 v3 product family adds 50 percent more cores and cache3 over the previous generation and includes numerous other hardware enhancements, such as Intel® Advanced Vector Extensions 2 (Intel® AVX2) and Intel® Quick Path Interconnect link (QPI). These innovations deliver up to 2.2X the performance over the previousgeneration to significantly boost output across a bro...

We examined the massive early cell death that occurs in the ventral horn of the cervical spinal cord of the chick embryo between embryonic days 4 and 5 (E4 and E5). Studies with immunohistochemical, in situ hybridization, and retrograde-tracing methods revealed that many dying cells express Islet proteins and Lim-3 mRNA (motoneuron markers) and send their axons to the somatic region of the embr...

The bovine papillomavirus E5 protein is a 44-amino-acid transmembrane protein that transforms cells by binding to the transmembrane region of the cellular platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) beta receptor, resulting in sustained receptor signaling. However, there are published reports that certain mutants with amino acid substitutions in the membrane-spanning segment of the E5 protein transfo...

Antisepsis and disinfection have always played an important role in the fight against infectious diseases. The use of these products has been effective breaking chain transmission microorganisms. Today, with advent COVID-19, main recommendations are, among other things, physical distance antiseptic products, including hydro-alcoholic products. In Senegal, poor regulations on acquisition distrib...
