The activity of enzyme systems catalyzing the metabolism of drugs and other chemicals foreign to the body varies with the species, sex, genetic background, and the physiologic state of the animal. A variety of drugs and chemicals which cause increases in the activity of microsomal drug-metabolizing enzymes have been reported.1' 2 There is a decrease or lack of oxidative drug-metabolizing enzyme...

This study aimed to investigate the potential of a skin care product composed of hyaluronic acid (HA) and collagen (Col) sponge containing epidermal growth factor (EGF), vitamin C derivative (VC), glucosylceramide (GC), poly(γ-glutamic acid) (PGA), and argentine (Arg). High-molecular weight HA aqueous solution, hydrolyzed low-molecular weight HA aqueous solution, and heatdenatured Col aqueous s...

We discuss the characterization of phantom materials that simulate the electromagnetic characteristics of various human tissues from 100 Hz to 10 MHz, and over a temperature range of 15 C to 40 C. The materials studied were: 1) a solution of potassium chloride in water, 2) a solution of propylene carbonate, ethylene carbonate, and salts, 3) a semi-solid material consisting of silicone and carbo...

In the work titled ‘‘Ensuring Safety of Implanted Devices Under MRI Using Reversed RF Polarization,’’ the authors propose a method based on reversed polarization, which can be used as a prescan technique for patients with implants. In their work, to visualize qualitatively the induced radiofrequency (RF) currents on a metallic lead inside the patient, they propose to reverse the RF polarization...

Three experiments investigated whether speakers use constituent ordering as a mechanism for avoiding ambiguities. In utterances like "Jane showed the letter to Mary to her mother", alternate orders would avoid the temporary PP-attachment ambiguity ("Jane showed her mother the letter to Mary", or "Jane showed to her mother the letter to Mary"). A preference judgment experiment confirmed that com...

Hemorrhage is the leading cause of direct maternal death globally. In the United States, it is responsible for over 11% of pregnancy-related deaths. Placental abruption must be considered in any antenatal patient with hemorrhage. However, the highly variable presentation of placental abruption makes the clinical diagnosis difficult. Furthermore, few studies have been performed to examine the op...
