The photodissociation dynamics of I2 ~CO2)n(n54 – 16) clusters excited at 780 nm have been studied with femtosecond photoelectron spectroscopy ~FPES!. The range of cluster sizes spans the uncaged and fully-caged product limits for this reaction. We observe time scales for a variety of processes in these clusters, including dissociation of the I2 2 chromophore, solvation of the I fragment, the o...

background: monitoring of phenotypic characteristics of t-lymphocytes in peripheral blood is commonly performed to give the clinical parameters in the management of kidney transplant recipients.   objective: to predict rejection in renal transplantation by immune parameters. methods: 16 non-diabetic kidney transplant candidates (4 females and 12 males, age = 20-65 yr, first time transplant) wer...

Nineteen patients (16 men and 3 women, mean age 51 years) with previous anterior myocardial infarction and severe stenosis (> or = 90%) of the left anterior descending coronary artery were studied by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) without and with contrast media to verify the capability of MRI in identifying viable myocardium in areas of severe systolic dysfunction. In corresponding left vent...

PURPOSE This study aimed to test the effects of a circuit training (CT; aerobic + strength training) program, with and without motivational interviewing (MI) behavioral therapy, on reducing adiposity and type 2 diabetes risk factors in Latina teenagers. METHODS Thirty-eight Latina adolescents (15.8 ± 1.1 yr) who are overweight/obese were randomly assigned to control (C; n = 12), CT (n = 14), ...

OBJECTIVE To compare the new delayed start protocol against the conventional gonadotropin (Gn)-releasing hormone antagonist protocol in poor responders (PORs). STUDY DESIGN A total of 160 women with poor response to previous in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycle were randomized either to start Gn then Cetrotide 0.25 subcutaneously (sc) added when leading follicle (DF) reach >12 mm or Cetrotide 0...

BackgroundAtopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease. Interleukin (IL) 13 type 2 cytokine that key to the inflammation underlying AD. Tralokinumab first-in-class, fully human, monoclonal antibody specifically binds with high affinity IL-13, neutralizing it in Immunomodulatory treatments may impair vaccine-induced immune responses.ObjectiveAssess responses standard vaccines ad...

Six-month-old infants discriminate between large sets of objects on the basis of numerosity when other extraneous variables are controlled, provided that the sets to be discriminated differ by a large ratio (8 vs. 16 but not 8 vs. 12). The capacities to represent approximate numerosity found in adult animals and humans evidently develop in human infants prior to language and symbolic counting.

In the phase 2 CELEST study, positive efficacy results were obtained with Janus kinase 1 inhibitor upadacitinib for adult patients moderate to severe Crohn’s disease. We present health-related quality of life and work productivity improvement from CELEST. (NCT02365649) was a double-blind study where randomized 1:1:1:1:1:1 in 16-week induction period placebo or 3 mg twice daily (BID), 6 BID, 12 ...
