of the affected patients. Despite improvements in treatments, the 5-year survival rate remains poor. Over 70% of patients with advanced ovarian cancer will relapse and despite a good chance of remission from further chemotherapy, patients eventually become resistant to cytotoxic agents. Efficient alternatives to chemotherapy are thus urgently needed. Bevacizumab is a recombinant humanized monoc...

Cardiac surgery for Jehovah's Witness (JW) patients is considered to be high risk because of patients' refusal to receive blood transfusion. We report a successful mitral valve replacement for recurrent mitral stenosis after OMC with minimally invasive right thoracotomy, without any transfusion of allogeneic blood or blood products. This minimally invasive mitral valve replacement through right...

The research explores the possibilities of biogas extraction from aquaculture waste. Samples fish-farming pool sludge were taken a fish farm, which is located in Krāslava district, Kalnieši rural municipality. Prior to experimental fermentation and biogas, samples analyzed order determine their moisture organic matter content (OMC). For purpose increasing OMC available for fermentation, was mix...

O Direito Internacional que hoje se conhece traduz a complexidade, particularidade e interdependência sociedade apresenta, uma vez seus conceitos delimitações amplificam-se de acordo com as necessidades humanas. Nesse sentido, torna-se impossível, quando pretende investigação realidade social fática, o exame isolado determinados temas Internacional, necessitando-se considerar interligações da s...

Aryl hydrocarbon receptor repressor (AhRR) has been recently identified as a negative factor that suppresses aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR)-mediated transcriptional gene expression. In the present study, the expression level of AhRR in normal human tissues was determined. AhRR mRNA was detected in liver, breast, colon, kidney, lung, bladder, uterus, testis, ovary, and adrenal gland. The expres...

A polarization image, with 0.6" pixel scale, of the molecular hydrogen v=1{0 S(1) line at 2.1218 m in the core of the Orion Molecular Cloud One, is presented. The line emission is highly clumped, with a prominent lamentary structure protruding to the NW, away from the source of the out ow. There are two main characteristics of the line polarization; a region of aligned vectors over the the mole...

We use mid-infrared to submillimeter data from the Spitzer, Herschel, and APEX telescopes to study the bright sub-mm source OMC-2 FIR 4. We find a point source at 8, 24, and 70 μm, and a compact, but extended source at 160, 350, and 870 μm. The peak of the emission from 8 to 70 μm, attributed to the protostar associated with FIR 4, is displaced relative to the peak of the extended emission; the...
