Traction folliculitis is a component of traction alopecia syndrome and has received minimal attention in primary source medical literature. The popularity of hairstyles that produce hair traction and the knowledge that early intervention improves prognosis amplify the importance of recognizing this entity. Traction folliculitis presents as perifollicular erythema and pustules on the scalp in ar...

Objectives: To compare the outcomes of prone and supine lumbar traction in patients with chronic discogenic low back pain. Methods: The test was prospective and randomized control trial. The structure of trial was Urban Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation clinic. Participants was included of A total of 124 subjects with chronic low back pain (LBP) and evidence of a degenerative and/or herni...

velopment is initiated by transcriptional upregulation of Ivelisse Sánchez and Junying Yuan* Egl-1, another BH3-only member of the BCL-2 family Department of Cell Biology that acts by inhibiting Ced-9, an antiapoptotic member Harvard Medical School of the BCL-2 family (Conradt and Horvitz, 1998). 240 Longwood Avenue BIM may not be the only BH3-only member that is Boston, Massachusetts 02115 ind...

This in vitro microperfusion study examined the effects of growth hormone and insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) on proximal convoluted tubule (PC1) transport. Tubules were perfused with an ultrafiltrate-like solution and bathed in a serumlike albumin solution. Neither a physiologic (5 X 10-10 M), nor a pharmacologic (5 X 10jM) dose of growth hormone had an effect on PCT phosphate or bicarbon...

bending analysis of multilayer graphene sheets (mlgss) subjected to non-uniform shear and normal tractions is presented. the constitutive relations are considered to be non-classical based on nonlocal theory of elasticity. based on the differential transformation method, numerical illustrations are carried out for circular and annular geometries. the effects of nano scale parameter, radius of c...

A thiazide-sensitive Na-Cl cotransporter contributes importantly to mammalian salt homeostasis by mediating Na-Cl transport along the renal distal tubule. Although it has been accepted that thiazide-sensitive Na-Cl cotransport occurs predominantly along the distal convoluted tubule in rats and mice, sites of expression in the rabbit have been controversial. A commonly accepted model of rabbit d...

Many different simulation methods for Stokes flow problems involve a common computationally intense task -- the summation of kernel function over $O(N^2)$ pairs points. One popular technique is Kernel Independent Fast Multipole Method (KIFMM), which constructs spatial adaptive octree all points and places small number equivalent multipole local around each box, completes sum with $O(N)$ cost, u...
