Anemia is a common complication in cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy, and its severity depends on both the type of antineoplastic drugs and the clinical status of the patient. Breast cancer patients undergoing standard chemotherapy develop clinically significant anemia in up to 25% of cases. This percentage, moreover, increases up to 63% when more intensive chemotherapy regimens are used....

The hyperthermophilic archaeon Pyrococcus furiosus grows optimally at 100(deg)C by the fermentation of peptides and carbohydrates. From this organism, we have purified to homogeneity an intracellular protease, previously designated PfpI (P. furiosus protease I) (S. B. Halio, I. I. Blumentals, S. A. Short, B. M. Merrill, and R. M. Kelly, J. Bacteriol. 178:2605-2612, 1996). The protease contains ...

This work was carried out to evaluate the total phenolic content and antioxidant potential (2,2-di-phenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl [DPPH] ferric reducing power [FRAP] methods) of Bauhinia monandra through its organs (leaves, stems roots). The results showed fluctuating contents with a dominance in leaves phytophenols crude hydromethanolic selective AcOEt extracts (57.344 ± 12.35 48.165 4.77 mg E...

The osmoregulatory system was studied in wild adult and reared juvenile Persian sturgeon, Acipenser persicus. The mean osmolarity in blood serum of specimens from the Caspian Sea, estuary, the Kouraneski pools and the rearing tanks were 305.3±14.3, 308.7±25.8, 265.0±19.1 and 259.3±8.8 mosmol/L, respectively; the mean concentrations of Na+ were 151.2±6.3, 152.2...

The aim of this study was to find out a formula for the feed conversion coefficient which is applicable solely farm pigs. performed by applying hybrid model growth animals in research not advanced, it published elsewhere. In only necessary equations were used. Feed complicated trait. usually used revised and transformed. three features analysed. reason distinct case studies that differs same we...
