BACKGROUND Familial defective apolipoprotein (apo) B-100 (FDB) is caused by a mutation in the apoB gene and characterized by decreased binding of LDL to LDL receptors because of reduced function of the apoB-100 ligand. FDB may be associated with severe hypercholesterolemia and cannot always be distinguished from familial hypercholesterolemia phenotypically. METHODS We used a fluorescence flow...

Objective: The auditory brainstem response (ABR) is often affected in neurodevelopmental disorders. The aim of this study was to investigate gender differences in ABR between young females and young males with ADHD, compared to control subjects. Method: We studied 63 females with ADHD (mean 13.8 years), 26 female controls (mean 13.8years), 48 males with ADHD (mean 13.1 years), and 20 male contr...

Prognosis and quality of life of chronic heart failure (HF) patients have greatly improved over the last decade. Consequently, many patients are willing to spend leisure time at altitude, usually <3500 m, but their safety in doing so is undefined. HF is a syndrome that often has relevant co-morbidities, such as pulmonary hypertension, COPD, unstable cardiac ischemia, and anemia. HF co-morbiditi...

This article reports the flow stress behaviour of ASTM A335 P92 steel. Uniaxial isothermal compression experiments were conducted to examine hot deformation steel in a Gleeble® 3500 thermal–mechanical simulator. The test conditions 0.01–10 s−1 strain rate and 850–1000 ℃ temperature. Constitutive equations processing maps developed used describe process. results showed that stress–strain curves ...

Abstract In the present work measurements to determine differential cross section values for elastic scattering of 3 He on 16 O and 27 Al were carried out at Ruđer Bošković Institute (RBI) Tandem Accelerator Facility in Zagreb, Croatia, covering E 3He,lab =3500-5600 keV energy range, using four Silicon Surface Barrier (SSB) detectors positioned backscattering angles 130°, 145°, 157.7° 165 ο . T...

The deformation behavior of homogenized Al-7.5Zn-1.5Mg-0.2Cu-0.2Zr alloy has been studied by a set of isothermal hot compression tests, which were carried out over the temperature ranging from 350 °C to 450 °C and the strain rate ranging from 0.001 s-1 to 10 s-1 on Gleeble-3500 thermal simulation machine. The associated microstructure was studied using electron back scattered diffraction (EBSD)...

Normal eruption of primary teeth into the oral cavity begins at about 6 months of child’s age. Teeth that erupt prematurely have occasionally been reported in the medical and dental literature and have been referred to as congenital teeth, foetal teeth, pre-deciduous teeth and dentitio praecox. The most affected teeth are lower central incisors and only 1-10% of them are supernumerary teeth. Th...

We report the near-IR detection of a prominent CIV absorption in the rest-frame UV spectrum of the most distant known QSO, SDSS J104433.04−012502.2, at z = 5.80. This QSO was recently observed with XMM-Newton and it was found to be notably X-ray weak. The equivalent width of the CIV absorption feature (∼10Å) strongly supports the idea that the X-ray faintness of this QSO is due to heavy absorpt...

We report the high-pressure synthesis and equation of state (EOS) a novel nickel carbide (Ni3C). It was synthesized in diamond anvil cell at 184(5) GPa through direct reaction powder with carbon from anvils upon heating 3500 (200) K. Ni3C has cementite-type structure (Pnma space group, = 4.519(2) Å, b 5.801(2) c 4.009(3) Å), which solved refined based on in-situ synchrotron single-crystal X-ray...
