A symbiont, isolated from root nodules of Crotalaria saltiana Andr., was identified as Rhizobium sp. It produced large amount of extracellular polysaccharides (EPS) in broth culture in yeast extract mannitol (YEM) medium. The EPS production and growth started simultaneously, though they have different stationary phases. The symbiont produced maximum EPS (16 μg/mL) when the medium was supplement...

encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis (eps) is a rare, acquired condition that has been described interchangeablywith peritoneal encapsulation (pe) as well as abdominal cocoon. eps causes complications for peritoneal dialysis (pd) patients. in eps, the small intestine is covered by a fibrotic and inflammatory peritoneal capsule that either partially or completely encases the bowel. for eps, there ...

Electric Power Steering (Abbr. EPS) is a full electric system which reduces the amount of steering effort by directly applying the output from an electric motor to the steering system and has attracted much attention for their advantages. The constitutions and working principle of EPS system was introduced. Through the control requirements in EPS system, the MAS-based EPS control strategy and a...

BACKGROUND Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) offers several advantages over transthoracic echocardiography (TTE). Despite these advantages, use of TEE by emergency physicians (EPs) remains rare, as no focused TEE protocol for emergency department (ED) use has been defined nor have methods of training been described. OBJECTIVE This study aims to develop a focused TEE examination tailored ...

Epalrestat (EPS) is the only aldose reductase inhibitor that is currently available for the treatment of diabetic neuropathy. Recently, we found that EPS at near-plasma concentration increases the intracellular levels of glutathione (GSH) in rat Schwann cells. GSH plays a crucial role in protecting endothelial cells from oxidative stress, thereby preventing vascular diseases. Here we show that ...

conclusions eps 7630 was found to be efficacious in the treatment of acute tonsillopharyngitis in children and was very well tolerated. methods in this double-blind placebo-controlled clinical trial with a group sequential design, the efficacy and tolerability of eps 7630 were investigated in 6- to 10-year-old patients with acute tonsillopharyngitis, who showed no evidence of group a β-hemolyti...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence of first-generation antipsychotics (FGA) prescribed for treatment of psychiatric and neurological conditions and use of benztropine to reduce extrapyramidal side effects (EPS) by patient race/ethnicity in a nationally representative sample of adult outpatient visits. METHODS The study sample included all outpatient visits (N = 8154)...

The unique properties of engineered nanoparticles (ENs) that make their industrial applications so attractive simultaneously raise questions regarding their environmental safety. ENs exhibit behaviors different from bulk materials with identical chemical compositions. Though the nanotoxicity of ENs has been studied intensively, their unintended environmental impacts remain largely unknown. Here...

A study of the four extrapyramidal syndromes (EPS), tardive dyskinesia, parkinsonism, akathisia and tardive dystonia, was performed in the Netherlands Antilles, a well-defined catchment area with only one psychiatric hospital. The population under study (N = 194; mean age 53.1) was mainly Afro-Caribbean, and most patients were chronic. The severity of each EPS was measured with valid and reliab...

Two Leuconostoc mesenteroides strains NCDC 744 and NCDC 745 were evaluated for exopolysaccharides (EPS) production in whey and MRS medium. Paneer whey medium supplemented with 10% sucrose, 0.1 % yeast extract and 0.1 % K2HPO4 was found to be proferred medium for EPS production. Among two strains L. mesenteroides NCDC 744 produced significantly higher EPS (12.7 ± 0.24 gm/L) as compared to NCDC 7...
