Photodynamic therapy (PDT) involves the activation of a photosensitizing drug by visible light to produce activated oxygen species which promote tumour destruction. Despite a rising tide of publications in recent years, PDT was first described 100 years ago. Generalized and severe phototoxicity from early crude photosensitizers limited development, although partial purification produced a haema...

Intracellular bacteria are characterized by genome reduction. The 422,434-base pair genome of Buchnera aphidicola BCc, primary endosymbiont of the aphid Cinara cedri, is approximately 200 kilobases smaller than the previously sequenced B. aphidicola genomes. B. aphidicola BCc has lost most metabolic functions, including the ability to synthesize the essential amino acid tryptophan and riboflavi...

BACKGROUND Arborizing vessels (AVs) are dermoscopically defined as telangiectasias with distinct treelike branching, and are a characteristic feature of basal cell carcinoma (BCC). However, AVs are observed in various conditions other than BCC. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate skin diseases showing AV and investigates dermoscopic differences between BCC and non-BCC. METHOD...

The concept of fuzzy multiply positive BCC-ideals of BCC-algebras is introduced, and then some related results are obtained. Moreover, we introduce the concept of T -fuzzy multiply positive implicative BCC-ideals of BCC-algebras and investigate T -product of T -fuzzy multiply positive implicative BCC-ideals of BCC-algebras, examining its properties. Using a t-norm T , the direct product and T -...

Extending a result of the first author and Katsura, we prove that for every UHF algebra [Formula: see text] infinite type, in uncountable cardinality there are nonisomorphic approximately matricial C*-algebras with same group as text]. These algebras “twisted” by prescribed canonical commutation relations (CCR), they can also be considered nonseparable generalizations noncommutative tori.
