OBJECTIVE To determine the amplitude changes of vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (VEMPs) recorded simultaneously from the neck (cVEMPs) and eyes (oVEMPs) in response to 500 Hz, 2 ms air-conducted sound pips over a 30 dB range. METHODS Fifteen healthy volunteers (mean age 29, range 18-57 years old) and one patient with unilateral superior canal dehiscence (SCD) were studied. The stimulus ...

Introduction: The production of Reaction Oxygen Species (ROS), lowers cellular antioxidant levels, and enhances oxidative stress in many tissues, especially the liver. Efficient liver function is extremely important to the overall health. The key to helping prevent long-term damage is to decrease oxidative stress. The purpose of this study was to assess the effects of treadmill training with vi...

In this paper we propose and studied a new composite iterative scheme with certain control con-ditions for viscosity approximation for a zero of accretive operator and xed points problems in areflexive Banach space with weakly continuous duality mapping. Strong convergence of the sequencefxng dened by the new introduced iterative sequence is proved. The main results improve andcomplement the co...

objective(s): systemic candidiasis is an infection of candida albicans (c. albicans) causing disseminated disease and sepsis, invariably when host defenses are compromised. we investigated the histopathological changes as well as the lymphoproliferative responses and cytokine production of splenic cells after stimulation with concanavalin a (con a) and pokeweed mitogen (pwm) in mice with dissem...

Density functional theory methods(DFT) and natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis were used to investigate the effects of isomerism and side chain mutation at a microscopic level on the stability, binding energy and NMR/NQR tensors of structural isomers, L- methionylasparagine (Met-Asn) and L- asparagylmethionine (Asn-Met) in the gas phase. The results represented that the isomerism and side chain...

In this paper, fabrication of silicon microchannels with integrated obstacles by using 25 wt.% tetramethylammonium hydroxide (TMAH) aqueous solution at the temperature 80?C is presented and analysed. We studied basic island patterns, which present union two symmetrical parallelograms sides along predetermined crystallographic directions <n10> (2<n<8) <100>. Acute angles were s...

Two studies were conducted to evaluate sorting and feeding Zilpaterol hydrochloride (ZH) on feedlot performance and carcass characteristics. Cross-bred beef steers were used in a randomized block design finishing trial. In Exp. 1, (initial BW 342 ± 10 kg, n = 1,000) 5 treatments included an unsorted non-ZH fed negative control (CON), unsorted ZH fed positive control (+CON); and three treatments...
