Aim to the paper was to describe our earlier studies of PMs and analyze where it is possible to find such high magnetic fields that the exposure can influence PMs. We tested PMs with a human-shaped phantom at 400kV substation, where the magnetic field source was a shunt reactor.

Asteroseismology of pulsating pre-main sequence (PMS) stars has the potential of testing the validity of current models of PMS structure and evolution. As a first step, a sufficiently large sample of pulsating PMS stars has to be established, which allows to select candidates optimally suited for a detailed asteroseismological analysis based on photometry from space or ground based network data.

For the paper industry, the disposal and management of the yielded sludge are a considerable challenge. In our work, the paper mill sludge-derived magnetically separable heterogeneous catalyst (PMS-Fe-380) was prepared easily through a facile synthesis method. The morphology and structure of PMS-Fe-380 were fully characterized by means of X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectrosco...

OBJECTIVES The outcome of patients with primary melanoma (PM) cannot be completely explained based on currently adopted clinical-histopathologic criteria. In this study, we evaluated the potential prognostic value of mismatch repair protein expression in PMs. METHODS We examined the immunohistochemical staining of mismatch repair proteins in 18 benign nevi and 101 stage I to III PMs and inves...

Perovskite-like oxides SrCo1-xTixO3-δ (SCTx, x = 0.1, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6) were used as heterogeneous catalysts to activate peroxymonosulfate (PMS) for phenol degradation under a wide pH range, exhibiting more rapid phenol oxidation than Co3O4 and TiO2. The SCT0.4/PMS system produced a high activity at increased initial pH, achieving optimized performance at pH ≥ 7 in terms of total organic carbon re...

OBJECTIVE Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) is a disorder related to mood and appetite changes during the premenstrual phase. Unfortunately, the understanding of the pathophysiology of PMS is quite poor. Though, ghrelin and leptin play important roles in the control of food intake. The aim of this study was to evaluate leptin and ghrelin serum concentrations in PMS patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS Fo...

The polycyclic aromatic compounds (PAC) produced from the pyrolysis of a bituminous coal at temperatures of 1125 to 1425 degrees K prove to be mutagenic to S. typhimurium, both in the presence and in the absence of postmitochondrial supernatant (PMS) prepared from Aroclor 1254-induced rat liver. Mutagenicity of the PAC samples measured in the absence of PMS exhibits little dependence on pyrolys...

The excretion, biotransformation, and pharmacokinetics of a selective N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor antagonist, traxoprodil, were investigated in six healthy male volunteers, phenotyped either as CYP2D6 extensive or poor metabolizers of dextromethorphan. Each subject received an i.v. infusion of a single 50-mg (100 microCi) dose of [(14)C]traxoprodil. Approximately 89% of the administered dose ...

The term premenstrual syndrome (PMS) has been used for many years to describe disturbances of mood or physical symptoms occurring regularly 7–10 days before menses and remitting during menses. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM III-R) included PMS among the ‘proposed Diagnostic Categories Needing Further Study’ under the name of Late Luteal Phase Dysphoric Disorder (...
