Abstract High voids in hot mix asphalt (HMA) can increase sensitivity to moisture, resulting premature failure of pavements. The use artificial aggregates as a substitute for natural has been considered this paper optimize air that meet the requirements. reason is are non-renewable raw materials and their availability continues decrease. This study aims determine effect replacing some with on v...

Abstract This study aims to determine the Optimum Residual Asphalt Content in different aggregate sources and characteristics of Cold Emulsion Mixture if gradation used is National Pavement Association (North Carolina) gradation. The aggregates this came from PT. Pancadarma Puspawira, Surakarta Public Work Office Magetan District with asphalt cationic emulsion type CRS-2. emulsified content for...

One of the rarest tumors involving the urinary bladder is the pheochromocytoma. A case of pheochromocytoma of the urinary bladder in a young female suffering from headache and cystitis for many years is reported. Twenty-four hour urine VMA was normal. The patient was never hypertensive except during surgical manipulation of the tumor. Biopsy of the bladder resulted in massive hemorrhage.

Abbreviations: RAVE, regulator of ATPase of vacuoles and endosomes; V-ATPase, vacuolar H-ATPase; SGA, synthetic genetic analysis; BCECF-AM, 2',7'-bis-(2-carboxyethyl)-5-(and-6)carboxyfluorescein, acetoxymethyl ester; YEPD, yeast extract-peptone-dextrose medium; SC, fully supplemented minimal medium ABSTRACT The RAVE complex is implicated in V-ATPase assembly and activity. In yeast, rav1∆ mutant...

BACKGROUND: The monoamine acids 5’-hydroxyindoleacetic (HIAA), homovanillic (HVA), and vanillylmandelic (VMA) are metabolites of serotonin and the catecholamine neurotransmitters epinephrine, norepinephrine, and dopamine. Laboratory measurement of these acids in urine is used to assess overproduction of the parent amines due to carcinoid and neuroendocrine tumors (neuroblastoma, pheochromocytom...

A male neonate was born to a 35-year-old mother at an outside hospital at 39 1/7 weeks gestation via emergency cesarean section due to decreased fetal movements. The infant had respiratory distress secondary to meconium aspiration and was noted to have a large, distended abdomen at birth. Subsequent ultrasound confirmed hepatosplenomegaly with no evidence of liver mass or ascites. By report, al...

This review evaluates the current surgical options for the management of idiopathic macular holes (IMHs), including vitrectomy, ocriplasmin (OCP), and expansile gas use, and discusses key background information to inform the choice of treatment. An evidence-based approach to selecting the best treatment option for the individual patient based on IMH characteristics and patient-specific factors ...

BACKGROUND The aerial parts of Vitis vinifera (common grape or European grape) have been widely used in Ayurveda to treat a variety of common and stress related disorders. In the present investigation, the seed extract of V. vinifera was evaluated for antistress activity in normal and stress induced rats. Furthermore, the extract was studied for nootropic activity in rats and in-vitro antioxida...

Purpose To assess the effect of ocriplasmin on visual function response (VFR) measured using visual acuity (VA) and vision-related quality of life, and to quantify the association between release of vitreomacular adhesion (VMA) at day 28 and VFR. Methods Prespecified analysis of secondary endpoints from a randomized controlled trial. Of 220 participants with symptomatic VMA/vitreomacular trac...
