Glutathione oxidants such as tertiary butyl hydroperoxide were shown previously to prevent microtubule assembly and cause breakdown of preassembled cytoplasmic microtubules in human polymorphonuclear leukocytes. The objectives of the present study were to determine the temporal relationship between the attachment and ingestion of phagocytic particles and the assembly of microtubules, and simult...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to compare the branch morphology and short-term outcome of endovascular aneurysm repair using multibranched thoracoabdominal custom-made stent grafts (CSGs) vs standard stent grafts (SSGs). METHODS Data on patient demographics, aortic morphology, component use, and outcome were collected prospectively. Final branch length (cuff to target artery orifice)...

The study of simple stochastic games (SSGs) was initiated by Condon for analyzing the computational power of randomized space-bounded alternating Turing machines. The game is played by two players, MAX and MIN, on a directed multigraph, and when the play terminates at a sink s, MAX wins from MIN a payoff p(s) ∈ [0, 1]. Condon showed that the SSG value problem, which given a SSG asks whether the...

The objective of the research is to design and evaluate bio compounds Berberis aristata (BCBA) compressed tablets in psoriasis treatment. BCBA dose 300 mg was into by employing microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) sodium starch glycolate (SSG) as superdisintegrant necessary excipients direct compression method. fourier transform infrared (FTIR) results depicts no incompatibility among drug excipien...

Present investigation deals with the preparation and evaluation of orally disintegrating tablets (ODTs) of lamotrigine using β-cyclodextrin and PVP-K30 as polymers for the preparation of solid dispersion which help in enhancement of aqueous solubility of this BCS CLASS-II drug and sodium starch glycolate (SSG) and crospovidone as a superdisintegrating agent, to reduce disintegration time. The O...

Domperidone Maleate (DOM), an antiemetic drug, has been used in treatment of adults and children. It has low aqueous solubility and hence low bioavailability. In present study, an attempt has been made to enhance the solubility of DOM by inclusion complexation with Hydroxypropyl-βCyclodextrin (HP-β-CD) using kneading technique and formulation of fast disintegrating tablets by using Sodium Starc...

This paper introduces a new game-theoretic framework and algorithms for addressing opportunistic crime. Stackelberg Security Game (SSG), focused on highly strategic and resourceful adversaries, has become an important computational framework within multiagent systems. Unfortunately, SSG is ill-suited as a framework for handling opportunistic crimes, which are committed by criminals who are less...

OBJECTIVE To determine the relationship between muscle density and neuromusculoskeletal status in stroke survivors with subacute and chronic hemiparesis. METHODS Community-dwelling adults were recruited into one of 3 groups (11 per group): subacute stroke group (SSG, <6 months post-stroke), chronic stroke group (CSG, >1 year post-stroke), or age- and gender-matched control group (CG). Muscle ...
