the present study was carried out to investigate three different adsorbents; dry cells of thebacterium exiguobacterium sp. 27, polyaniline and a mixture of both in different ratios for removal of ni(ii)from aqueous solution. the results showed that the adsorption of ni(ii) using dry cells of exiguobacteriumsp. 27 was very fast and the equilibrium time was 15 min, while the equilibrium time for ...

AbstractBackground A direct comparison of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 positive patients with a negative control group undergoing an operative intervention during the current pandemic is lacking, and reliable estimate assumed difference in morbidity mortality between both patient categories remains unknown.

We have examined the responses of energy and protein metabolism to nutrient intake in nine patients with lung carcinoma, of whom none were cachexic and only one had distant metastases, compared with nine control patients for elective aneurysm surgery, who were comparable in terms of age, body mass index, and smoking habits. Whole-body protein turnover and leucine oxidation were assessed by prim...

The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is an easy, economic, convenient and biochemical technology in molecular biology for the amplification of thousands to millions of copies of a particular DNA sequence. The method consists of repetitive cycles of three steps: denaturation, hybridization, and polymerase extension, that raising temperature to break hydrogen bonds for formation of the single stra...

BACKGROUND & AIMS Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is a leading cause of chronic liver disease for which there is limited therapy available. Insulin sensitizing, anti-inflammatory, and antifibrotic properties of thiazolidinediones support their use in treating NASH. We have evaluated pioglitazone in the treatment of nondiabetic patients with NASH. METHODS We randomized 74 nondiabetic patie...

The effect on intestinal macromolecular absorption capacity and immunoglobulin G (IgG) transfer of feeding sow colostrum at different intervals and in different quantities to newborn pigs was studied. An amount of 15 ml/kg body weight (BW) colostrum was fed at 3 (treatment 3–15), 6 (treatment 6–15) or 12 (treatment 12–15) h intervals, respectively, starting 0–4 h after birth for 24 h; or 30 ml/...

OBJECTIVES to compare the biological efficacy of generic enoxaparin (HeptronTM) versus branded Sanofi-Aventis enoxaparin for prophylaxis and treatment of lower-extremity deep venous thrombosis (DVT) in a prospective, randomized, open-label study. METHODS patients with diagnosed lower-extremity DVT (therapeutic branch, n=57) and patients requiring venous thromboembolism (VTE) prophylaxis after...
