Parkinsonism and portosystemic encephalopathy (PSE) are cerebral disorders associated with motor and neuropsychological dysfunctions that may occur in patients with chronic liver disease. We describe a patient with parkinsonism and neuroradiologic and 1H spectroscopic findings of PSE associated with a large congenital intrahepatic portosystemic venous shunt. Chronic liver disease was absent. Af...

Porcine stress syndrome (PSS), controlled by a recessive gene, is responsible for the formation of poor quality meat (PSE and DFD). Various non-invasive and invasive tests have been devised to identify PSS-prone pigs. A reliable test for detecting the heterozygotes is essential for eliminating PSE-prone pigs. A simple test for selecting pigs to produce meat of excellent water holding capacity i...

This study aimed to develop spectrophotometry method using area under curve determine the levels of dextromethorphan HBr (DMP), doxylamine succinate (DOX) and pseudoephedrine HCl (PSE) in tablet dosage form ethanol as solvent. The is based on AUC absorption measurement wavelength ranges 273-283 nm for DMP, 262-272 DOX 251-261 PSE. Then, was applied PSE form. selection wavelengths gives best res...

Background: Students with disabilities attending postsecondary education (PSE) institutions have poor degree progression, retention, and graduation rates. PSE are addressing these challenges in various ways, including the delivery of occupational therapy (OT)-led coaching. There is emerging evidence that coaching increases academic success self-determination PSE. The students’ perspectives abou...

The human GH family consists of five genes, including the placental chorionic somatomammotropins (CS), within a single locus on chromosome 17. Based on nuclease sensitivity, the entire GH/CS locus is accessible in pituitary chromatin, yet only GH-N is expressed. Previously, we reported a P sequence element (263P) capable of repressing placental CS promoter activity in transfected pituitary (GC)...

Plant sterols and stanols are structurally similar to cholesterol and when added to the diet they are able to reduce serum total- and LDL-cholesterol concentrations. They also lower serum triglyceride concentrations in humans, particularly under conditions of hypertriglyceridemia. The aim of this study was to unravel the mechanism by which plant sterols and stanols reduce serum triglyceride con...

PURPOSE To elucidate the role of partial splenic embolization (PSE) procedures, long-term outcome was assessed in terms of the recurrence of thrombocytopenia. METHODS A retrospective study was performed after 41 PSE procedures in 36 patients for hypersplenism owing to portal hypertension. The underlying disease was biliary atresia in 32 patients, extrahepatic portal obstruction in 3, and idio...

(1) OBJECTIVE: To compare the effects of isomaltulose (Palatinose™, PSE) vs. maltodextrin (MDX) ingestion on substrate utilization during endurance exercise and subsequent time trial performance; (2) METHODS: 20 male athletes performed two experimental trials with ingestion of either 75 g PSE or MDX 45 min before the start of exercise. The exercise protocol consisted of 90 min cycling (60% VO₂m...

The aim of this work was to further investigate the effects of chilling rate on the frequency of PSE-like zones on pork hams, following on from a previous study [1]. An 8°c difference in chilling rate (4 hours post-mortem) was applied to the opposite carcass sides, from halothane genotyped pigs. In order to increase the frequency of PSE-like zones, pigs were slaughtered after a limited fasting ...

Both caffeine (CAF) and pseudoephedrine (PSE) are proposed to be central nervous system stimulants. However, during competition, CAF is a permitted substance, whereas PSE is a banned substance at urinary levels >150 μg · ml(-1). As a result, this study aimed to compare the effect of CAF versus PSE use on cycling time trial (TT) performance to explore whether the legal stimulant was any less erg...
