Aim of Study: To compare the intraocular pressure (IOP) measurements obtained with the computerized tonometer 80 non-contact tonometer (CT80 NCT) and those with the Goldmann applanation tonometer (GAT) in patients with normal and high IOP. Patients and Methods: This observational clinical study comprised 187 eyes of 105 patients (54 men and 51 women), who had their IOP readings measured with bo...

Niche construction theory (NCT) explicitly recognizes environmental modification by organisms (“niche construction”) and their legacy over time (“ecological inheritance”) to be evolutionary processes in their own right. Here we illustrate how niche construction theory provides useful conceptual tools and theoretical insights for integrating ecosystem ecology and evolutionary theory. We begin by...

The aim of this study was to evaluate preoperative tumour expression of NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1) along with other biological markers as potential predictors of pathological complete response (pCR) to neoadjuvant docetaxel, doxorubicin, and cyclophosphamide-containing (TAC) chemotherapy in patients with primary breast can...

INTRODUCTION Goldmann applanation tonometer (GAT) is the gold standard for Intraocular Pressure (IOP) measurement but has disadvantage of being contact device and problems with portability. The aim of the study was to compare the Keeler's Pulsair noncontact tonometer (NCT) with GAT in Indian Population. MATERIALS AND METHODS Eighty-one subjects were screened from a Glaucoma clinic of a tertia...

Introduction: serous borderline tumor (sbt) of low malignant potential (LMP) is heterogeneous group, neither wholly benign nor frankly malignant. It usually involves premenopausal age patients, has good prognosis and may recur even after 20 years. Decades later, transformation to low grade serous carcinoma can occur in 7%, mandating prolonged follow-up. ten and 20 years survival in stage I is 9...

Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a debilitating disorder and its pathophysiology is associated with deregulation of the immune system. We investigated the changes in circulating levels of proinflammatory cytokines (specifically IL-6 and TNF-α) measured by the ELISA kit in two psychotherapeutic interventions for MDD: Narrative Cognitive Therapy (NCT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Thi...

Recently, active research has been conducted on Korean grammatical error correction machine translation (MT) and automatic noise generation. However, there is no gold-standard test set for objective official comparative analysis. A significant limitation measuring the ill-defined performance because experimental types in train are also included set. Moreover, training Additionally, of errors qu...

Trehalase specifically hydrolyses trehalose into two glucose units and is most important in insects and fungi. Previous evidence suggested that Spodoptera frugiperda midgut trehalase (wild type, WT) has substantial conformational changes on binding different substances. Our goal is to understand this mobility. For this, two deletion mutants were produced, lacking regions supposed to be the caus...
