BACKGROUND The efficacy of oral anticoagulation therapy (OAT) has not been revealed in atrial fibrillation (AF) patients with newly diagnosed cancers. This study evaluated the thromboembolic and bleeding events in AF patients with malignancies according to OAT. METHODS AND RESULTS In 2168 consecutive non-valvular AF patients with newly diagnosed malignancies, we analyzed the composite endpoin...

In adult male rats fed on a cholesterol-free synthetic diet, plasma cholesterol concentrations were lowest with oat bran, intermediate with cellulose and highest with wheat bran. Plasma triacylglycerols (TAG) were similar with wheat bran and cellulose but higher with oat bran. The concentrations and pools of caecal volatile fatty acids (VFA) were lowest with cellulose and equally higher with oa...

effect of different planting ratios of oat (avena sativa l.) and vetch (vicia sativa l.) was assessed on quality and quantity of forage and silage in an intercropping system as completely randomized block design (rcbd) with four replications. the treatments were different planting ratios of oat and vetch including 0:100, 20:80, 40:60, 50:50, 60:40, 80:20 and 100:0 (oat-vetch) formed as replacem...

AIMS To investigate the immunohistochemical expression of p53 protein in small cell lung carcinoma (SCLC), comparing it with that in non-small cell carcinoma (NSCLC); and to evaluate the correlation between p53 and proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) expression as well as between p53 and PCNA expression and survival. METHODS Paraffin wax embedded tissues from 61 cases of primary lung ca...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Preadmission oral anticoagulant treatment (OAT) has been linked with less severe stroke and a better outcome in patients with atrial fibrillation. However, the existing studies have methodological limitations and have, with one exception, not included hemorrhagic strokes. We performed a nationwide historic follow-up study using data from population-based healthcare regist...

BACKGROUND Substance use and substance use disorders are common in people who experience detention or incarceration in Canada, and opioid agonist treatment (OAT) may reduce the harms associated with substance use disorders. We aimed to define current physician practice in provincial correctional facilities in Ontario with respect to prescribing OAT and to identify potential barriers and facilit...

Hulless oats are of interest as an alternative to corn and wheat in organic poultry diets because they offer potential to enhance agrobiodiversity and produce locally grown feeds both within and outside of corn-growing regions. Hulless oats are easily certified GM-free and have demonstrated nutritional value for poultry. A feeding study was carried out to examine: (i) the effects of substitutin...

The most widespread and damaging fungal disease of the oat plant is crown rust. Resistance to rust pathogen, Puccinia coronata Cda. f. sp. avenae (Pca), at seedling stage Avena sterilis accessions from Polish national genebank was characterised by five North American pathotypes Pca diverse pathogenicity. pathogenicity determined on a series 34 differential lines carrying known resistance genes....

PURPOSE To evaluate the efficacy of adenovirus mediated transfer of ornithine delta-aminotransferase (OAT) into human retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells. METHODS Adenovirus-mediated gene transfer into primary cultures of human RPE was evaluated by measurement of enzyme activity in whole cell extracts and by Western blot analysis. To assess mitochondrial integrity, succinate dehydrogenase ...
