As shellfish preservation is still nowadays a challenge for the food industry, in this paper, effectiveness of hyperbaric storage preserving Atlantic razor clams (Ensis directus) was evaluated both at low (HS-LT) and room temperature (HS-RT). The study carried out two phases. In first phase, were stored different pressure levels, 5 °C 20 °C, 7 days to identify most efficient temperatures. Then,...

BACKGROUND Intra-individual variability in reaction time (RT IIV) is considered to be an index of central nervous system functioning. Such variability is elevated in neurodegenerative diseases or following traumatic brain injury. It has also been suggested to increase with age in healthy ageing. OBJECTIVES To investigate and quantify age differences in RT IIV in healthy ageing; to examine the...

Evaporative cooling of helium nanodroplets is studied with a statistical rate model that includes, for the first time, angular momentum conservation. While the final temperature of the droplets is almost identical to that previously predicted and later observed, the distribution of total droplet energy and angular momentum states is vastly more excited than a canonical distribution at the same ...

BACKGROUND In this study we determined if treatment combining radiation therapy (RT) with intracerebral (i.c.) administration of carboplatin to F98 glioma bearing rats could improve survival over that previously reported by us with a 15 Gy dose (5 Gy × 3) of 6 MV photons. METHODS First, in order to reduce tumor interstitial pressure, a biodistribution study was carried out to determine if pre...

Radiation therapy (RT) induces immunogenic cell death and dose-dependent release of ATP in the tumor microenvironment (TME), triggering maturation and activation of tumor-resident dendritic cells (DCs). However, extracellular ATP is rapidly catabolized to adenosine by ectonucleotidases CD39 and CD73, which are expressed by tumor cells and immune cells in the TME. Adenosine has pleiotropic immun...

Aim: To evaluate the short-term effects of horizontal muscle resection (Rt) or recession (Rs) surgeries on anterior and posterior segment parameters (ASPs PSPs) in strabismus patients, using Pentacam HR optical coherence tomography (OCT) devices.
 Material Method: This prospective study included 21 female 17 male patients who underwent surgery (Rt Rs). ASPs were evaluated with PSPs OCT, on...
