OBJECTIVE To examine weight change trajectories among overweight and obese patients with binge eating disorder (BED) versus without (NBO) during the year prior to seeking treatment. METHODS Participants were 97 (75 women, 22 men) overweight and obese patients recruited for the same weight-loss treatment in primary care; 26 (27%) met DSM-5 BED criteria. Participants were assessed with the Eati...

Stroke is a leading cause of death and disability due to disturbance of blood supply to the brain. As brain is highly sensitive to hypoxia, insufficient oxygen supply is a critical event contributing to ischemic brain injury. Normobaric hyperoxia (NBO) that aims to enhance oxygen delivery to hypoxic tissues has long been considered as a logical neuroprotective therapy for ischemic stroke. To da...

We analysed RXTE data of Sco X-1 which show kHz quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) and the ∼6–8 Hz normal-branch oscillation (NBO) simultaneously. Using power spectra of 0.03–0.5 s data segments, we find that both the upper kHz QPO frequency ν2 and the ratio of lower to upper kHz QPO amplitude are anticorrelated to variations in the X-ray count-rate taking place on the NBO time scale. The frequ...

We have evaluated the NMR shielding tensors for A:T,G:C,A:U in Watson-crick, and U-quartet. We have computed NMR shielding tensors at B31YP level by using 6-31G(d) basis set. We have compute anisotropy and asymmetry in A:T,G:C,A:U and U-quartet. The NMR shielding tensors were calculated using the GIAO method. The natural bonding orbital analysis (NBO) were performed. NBO calculation have been ...

in this paper geometry optimization of two ionic complexes such as cr042-gly+1, and mo042- gly+i have been carried out at the hf and b3lyp levels oftheory with 6-31g* basis set in the gas phase. moreover, chemical shift andnatural bond of orbital (nbo) of these compounds have been obtainedusing nmr and nbo methods. finally, the obtained theoretical results werecompared with each other.

Beta-turns play an important role in peptide and protein chemistry, biophysics, and bioinformatics. The aim of this research was to study short linear peptides that have a high propensity to form beta-turn structures in solution. In particular, we examined conformational ensembles of beta-turn forming peptides with a general sequence CBz-L-Ala-L-Xaa-Gly-L-Ala-OtBu. These tetrapeptides, APGA, A(...
